There were quite a few great things to check out this past week all of which culminated with a the glorious grandiosity of Bodies of Water's CD release show last night at The Echo. The night was also the last show for drummer Jessie Conklin who will be replaced by Jamie Pitts with additional help from Julie Carpenter (Listing Ship) on guitar and vocals, all of whom were on stage for this special evening. Spaceland Prod. has a new photo policy so no pictures from us but we're sure you'll find plenty of stuff out there. BOW heads on tour with Port O'Brien before returning to town for Sunset Junction. A Certain Feeling is available online here and here or in stores 7/22 through Secretly Canuckian.
