Two Hours Traffic guitarist Alec O'Hanley was left without pants after the wind sent a bag of his clothes flying on the band's drive home from Austin, Texas' South By Southwest Music Festival last month.

"for anyone living in or around gagetown, new brunswick, keep your eyes peeled for a clear garbage bag filled with black jeans and colorful t-shirts," bassist Andrew MacDonald wrote in a March 27 MySpace blog entry.

"on our way home from sxsw the top blew off of our yakima spacecase, sending the majority of alec's wardrobe into orbit. luckily the rest of our baggage was unharmed."

At least O'Hanley has inside connections at Mark's Work Warehouse that might hook him up with some new threads.

O'Hanley, MacDonald, singer/guitarist Liam Corcoran and drummer Derek Ellis were in Toronto last month finishing their third album, which is being produced again by Joel Plaskett.

"we have ten tracks just about completed and there will likely be one or two more that will make the cut if all goes to plan," MacDonald wrote on the band's website on March 16.

There's still no word when the as-yet-untitled record will be in stores.

You can see Two Hours Traffic at Charlottetown's Solid Rock Cafe on Friday with the Andrew Murray Band and New Royalty.
