The Fugitives

The Fugitives, established in 2007, have released four records, which have been nominated for multiple Canadian Folk Music Awards and a Western Canadian Music Award. Their previous album, Everything Will Happen, spent ten weeks on the top ten Canadian folk charts, and earned them a support slot across Western Canada with Buffy Sainte-Marie and an appearance at UK’s Glastonbury Festival. Their follow-up, The Promise of Strangers, is set for release on January 26th on Borealis Records.

 

Weird Peak Performance blog #1

Adrian’s gone rogue. He doesn’t care about the music. He’s using the bootcamp to initiate a gruelling fitness regimen on himself. Today he completed 200 push-ups; 197 crunch-ups; 53 pull-me-ups; 5 sets of how-do-you-dos; 9 how’s-your-mothers and a full circuit of crispy cakewalks. He swam across the lake without kicking once. He shot hoops to warm up and played hockey to warm down. He’s already asleep in moon-boots hanging  from the ceiling and an alarm rings every hour for him to curl-up and touch his toes. I’m on my own here. Me and the music. I write marketing plans in my sleep. I wrote a song while I was writing this and another one while I was writing that. I make this look easy. And now it’s time for some crunch-ups of my own.

Shabam.

New Video about the Cuts to Refugee Health Care

Hello everyone, Like many Canadians, The Fugitives are really disappointed in recent federal cuts to refugee health care.

We have a new video and song about this here. It's been shared widely on Facebook (100 shares in 24 hours, crazy!) - which just goes to show how disappointed everyone is with the cuts.

You can view the video, lyrics, and song here:

Thanks,

The Fugitives

PS. This is the second video in a series of 'dares' we are doing every Wednesday. So check back weekly for new dares. Last week, Brendan dared Adrian to perform Nelly on his balalaika at their outdoor show on Canada Day. You can view the results of that here
