Dave Bidini, author, film maker, playwright, and member of the former Rheostatics, is stopping by CKDU tomorrow morning at 9:00. If you call yourself Canadian, you remember the Rheostatics who portrayed all that was Canadian in a rock band that went places off the beaten track. After almost thirty years with the Rheostatics, Bidni has since formed the Bidiniband whose debut album, "The Land is Wild", has given us tracks about "dead hockey players, cannibalism, and lesbian school teachers."
The Bidiniband is in town tonight and tomorrow (June 15, 16) and will be playing two shows at The Carleton scheduled for 9pm with Colleen and Paul Linklater. Dave Bidini will also be at the Halifax Club, Wednesday at 12:00pm, as his next book, "Home and Away: The Story of the 2008 Homeless World Cup", is scheduled to release this fall. Tune in to CKDU 88.1FM tomorrow morning at 9:00 to hear an exclusive interview with Bidini. The location of a secret show will be announced, so make sure to listen to get the details of a very special performance.
