Wells, BC - Island Mountain Arts and the ArtsWells Festival is proud to present the Undesirables live in concert on Tuesday September 8th at Island Mountain Arts in the beautiful historic town of Wells, BC. Based out of Toronto, Ontario the Undesirables are currently touring across Canadian tour in support of their much anticipated third album entitled Travelling Show.
Traveling Show is the duo's third album to date, and they're already planning to record their fourth, Cancer Shoes, in Australia in April 2010, with producer Mick Wordley (The Yearlings, Chris Whitely, Jeff Lang).
Corin Raymond is folk's only front man.  He's a storyteller whose audiences make themselves cozy in the palm of his hand, and as a singer he sweats for his payload like any worker in soul.  When he's not sweating for The Undesirables, Corin is singing his own songs, behind a rhythm guitar, with his band The Sundowners.  He released his newest solo effort, There Will Always Be A Small Time, in May, 2009.  One of Corin's songs will be published in the July issue of Sing Out! magazine.
Sean Cotton is The Undesirables' one-man band, a secret weapon in the world of guitar players, and it's no surprise that he also plays with Treasa Levasseur, another peer with whom The Undesirables have schemed, dreamed, toured and triumphed.  Treasa sings with The Undies on their second album, Doghouse Dreams, and she has also included an Undesirables song on both her albums to date.  She makes no secret of the fact she plans to record 'Fill Me Up With Sound', another from the duo's catalogue, on her third album.
Noted singer-songwriter Jonathan Byrd  from North Carolina had this to say:
"The Undesirables from Toronto, Canada comprises of two grown men, one guitar, and a natural disaster. These guys rock harder than rock bands. Visceral, deeply soulful, hand-clapping, foot-stomping, laughing out loud music. Being in the room with them is like standing in the engine room of an ocean freighter pulling 20 knots. There are rumours of a Texas tour in the works for them. Texas is going to freak out. Any of my fans out there, go see them. If I have misled you, I will personally refund your ticket."
Don't miss this rare opportunity to catch one of Toronto's hottest independent bands before they head out on an international tour. For tickets and info please call Island Mountain Arts at (250) 994-3466 or toll free 1-800-442-2787
