... Down Unda!
If anyone needs any further proof of the red-hot export value of Canadian music, take a look at the unprecedented amount of Can-Con hopping down to Australia this winter:
Stars, Tegan and Sara, Holy F*ck, Jill Barber, Hawksley Workman, Final Fantasy, Hey Rosetta!, Matthew Barber, and A-Trak... and those are just the ones we've found.
Crikey!
It all works out perfectly for Canadian artists. December and January are brutal months to tour most of North America and Europe due to winter weather and the holidays, but in Australia it's the height of summer and the height of the Oz festival season.
Couple that with the Canadian festival circuit embracing independent artists like never before, and for many, their current touring careers can be one long, endless summer.
Any Australian travel tips for the Canadian musicians heading down?
