Buck 65, Cadence Weapon And Skratch Bastid To Play Across Canada

02/27/08 7:00pm

Buck 65 has toured through the U.S., Australia and Europe since releasing Situation last October. Now it's finally Canada's turn.

The Halifax MC (real name Richard Terfry) will take Cadence Weapon and Skratch Bastid on his coast-to-coast musical journey, which begins on April 10 in Moncton, N.B. The only exception is an April 18 show in Buck's hometown, where he'll perform with Symphony Nova Scotia at The Rebecca Cohn. Tickets for all shows go on sale on Friday.

Skratch Bastid was nominated for a Juno Award for his production work on Situation, while Felix Wittholz's efforts on the album earned him a Juno nod for best CD/DVD artwork design.

The video for new single "Dang" was just shot by director Christopher Mills (Modest Mouse, Broken Social Scene). It was inspired by a staple piece of sports entertainment from Buck's youth: Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling. Let's hope there are cameos from Leo Burke, The Beast, Goldie Rogers and our favourite singing grappler, Sweet Daddy Siki.

There will be lots of scratching, but hopefully little itching, at these shows:
