CREEP ACROSS THE CONTINENT
Hot on the release of their debut EP, I-X-U (reviewed on page 16), Toronto and Wavelength's own The Creeping Nobodies head out on a month-long tour that will see them hit both coasts of our great nation, as well as cutting through the United States for select gigs. The Nobodies' local release party and tour kickoff show coincides with that of another expansive Toronto collective - they open for Do Make Say Think, who release their new full-length, & yet & yet (Constellation Records) at Lee's Palace on Thursday, April 4. For tour dates go to www.thecreepingnobodies.com.

NEW m@b FOR YOU AND ME
The release party for the new m@b comic, You're looking good these days, will be held at Clinton's on Saturday, April 6. Musical guests will be a three-piece outfit (sans drummer) called Royal Wood and solo story-song-teller Jack Breakfast while DJ Soundscapes Girl provides music for those semi-lucid moments experienced only in the wee hours of the morning.

SWEET, DUDE
Sweet Treat Tuesdays continue at the Victory Cafe (581 Markham St.). Blackeyes will be playing each week in April with a veritable avalanche of other great acts over the month. The schedule includes Petunia, Alex Lukashevsky and Eugene Lenin-Slonimerov (Apr. 9), Doug Norquay, Corin Raymond and Claire Jenkins (Apr. 16), Ghost Town and The Fabulous Mr. Muli (Apr. 23), and The Fembots and Jim Guthrie (Apr. 30).
