2010-06-13: Planks play at Velopalooza finale in Strathcona Park

(Hope you got a copy of our CD to remember us by while the getting was good! Of course, our mux of live bootlegs should still be up, however long in the tooth it’s getting.) The occasion is the closing party of the estimable Vancouver Velopaloloza festival of bicycles and bicycle culture, with which the CPs have been long (if loosely) associated, dating back to our performances at last year’s Bicycle Music Fest, at the B:C:Clettes’ Rouge et Noir Cabaret, at the RevPhil’s “Bike Porn” film night and still earlier.
Speaking of “earlier”, our set will be starting promptly at noon, in Strathcona Park (at Prior between Hawks and Raymur — out behind the Casa Gelato!), for one half-hour, following a set from Buck and Jess and preceding sets by the likes of Ndidi Cascade, the Carnival Band, the Wonderful Diving Horses, The Thick of It and the Deadwax Collective.
For more information about the festival, please see their website.
