Calgary's Sled Island (June 24-27) lineup is also looking AWESOME this year and we've got more Mint bands than ever scheduled to perform! 
Nardwuar & The Evaporators are preparing for their summer split 7" release, A Wild Pear, with Mr. Andrew WK, who will be likely joining The Evaporators for a song or two. Hot Panda are back from their UK tour with The Von Bondies and weather permitting, will be tubing down the river before playing their late night showcase. Novillero are packing up their van, kissing their newborn babies goodbye and migrating West for the weekend. And our hardest working band, The Pack AD are driving back onto Canadian soil and looking forwards to Tim Hortons' coffee, measuring distances in kilometers and the Sled Island festival, of course. Calgary surf legends, The Ramblin' Ambassadors will be there for the festivities as well. It's going to be good!
