Pine Tarts Downloads

So it turns out Laurie Fuhr from the Lonely Hunters is in another Calgary band that's been tearing up western Canada a bit of late. It also turns out that the other band the Pine Tarts is the latest addition to the podsafe download section and the latest addition to the Band Blogs ... quite the coincidence no?

From their Myspace page

A lust for all that is lovely and loamy and slippery and sun-licked coupled with the fervent desire to crawl all over peoples of this same persuasion, inspired these kids to attempt to make contact with kindred spirits through the mass-communication possibilities of a dusty little scrum of a rock n roll band. Too impatient to learn their instruments, they instead forced their instruments to learn what their fingers could already do, and immediately began recording demos. Too poor to afford proper gear, they were forced to use ghetto blasters as amps, and rather than replace strings as they broke on their no-name guitars they simply fiddled with the tuning. Finally one day they took the bottles back and bought a used rental 4-track. Pine Tarts are Mess, Jenny Pie, Jester Suzuki, Adam, and Laurie. They are ever searching for the sounds to fill joydrunken hearts with love and fire. They want small shows, not big ones, they want to drink wine in the parking lot with the audience after the gig and jump in lakes with all the beautiful boys and girls they meet. They have been spotted, on midsummers' eve, when the green aurora casts its claws above Cascade, on Banff Avenue with an elk skeleton.
