Eric's Trip's Rick White

East coast indie rock pioneers Eric's Trip previously revealed that they'd reform for next month's Sappyfest event in Sackville, New Brunswick, but the group have decided to extend their reunion to at least five more shows in September and October.

The band formed in 1990 and became the first Canadian act to sign with Sub Pop Records, for which they released three albums. They broke up in 1996 but have reunited briefly for a few shows since then.

Eric's Trip members Julie Doiron and Rick White worked together on Doiron's most recent album, the Polaris Music Prize-nominated Woke Myself Up, which spurred them on to reviving their former group. White will open all of the Eric's Trip shows with performances of songs from his two solo records, The Rick White Album and Memoreaper.

The group (who also include Chris Thompson and Mark Gaudet) recently launched a MySpace page, which is their first official online presence. The site features archived video clips, rare songs, a discography and the band's explanation of their history.

Here are the dates of Eric's Trip's reunion shows with Rick White:

• Aug. 5 Sackville, NB @ George's Roadhouse (Sappyfest)
• Sept. 13 Hamilton, ON @ Casbah
• Sept. 15 Toronto, ON @ Lee's Palace
• Oct. 5 Ottawa, ON @ Barrymores
• Oct. 7 Montreal, QC @ TBA (Pop Montreal)
• Oct. 20 Halifax, NS @ TBA
