www.tomwaits.com

Tom Waits launched a sold-out national tour, garnering intense critical praise and thrilling fans across the country and the world, some in cities where Waits had never played before. Now comes the document of those concerts, 17 performances hand-picked by Waits from along the tour. Leaning heavily on songs from his ANTI- releases – including a haunting “Trampled Rose” from Real Gone and roaring “Get Behind the Mule” from Mule Variations – Waits also digs into the vaults for tracks like a re-imagined “Singapore” from 1985’s Rain Dogs. Glitter and Doom Live will reside in the Waits catalog alongside earlier live albums like Nighthawks at the Diner and Big Time, both discs held on par with his classic studio releases by fans.

The collection also includes rarities like their first indie 45, the five long sought-after ‘Wild Pair’ tracks and three previously unreleased songs. The Staccatos later went on to worldwide fame as the Five Man Electrical Band, but this is where it all began. Track Listing.

THE FED PENNIES
Brain Disaster
www.myspace.com/thefedpennies
Dist: Fontana North


The Fed Pennies have been breaking through the independent music scene since their 2004 inception. Founders Jake Smith and Aaron Farr, previous ECMA winners with Halifax international recording artists The Jimmy Swift Band, decided it was time to branch off on their own in order to explore a new musical direction. With that in mind a new definitive rock sound was born. Their influences vary as much as their individual tastes including Black Sabbath to the Beatles. Backed with solid melodies, disenchanted lyrics and playfully angry bass lines this band is definitely worth checking out. TG: We wish we had some music for you to sample but we don't. Still, if you dig the Queens Of The Stone Age, you should definitely go to their website and check out this awesome Canadian band!

JULLY BLACK
The Black Book
www.jullyblack.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada



“Have you ever had a notebook that you wrote everything in? A reminder to call someone, a phone number that's changed, a note to read something inspirational or simply a great idea? That's what THE BLACK BOOK is about. It is more than just a book, a diary, an agenda, a phone book or a glossary. It's the place where the mental notes, important details and words of wisdom have manifested themselves into songs. These are lessons that I've learned and lessons that were taught to me through the experiences of mine and of others. Each of my previous albums have been little black books; however, this is THE BLACK BOOK. Even though this is my 3rd album, due to success of REVIVAL, this feels more like my sophomore release. "
