Original OLP Lineup Plays ED Fest... Sort Of

You'll be able to see all four members of Our Lady Peace's "classic lineup" at the same venue this summer... but they're not playing on the same day and there's no "reunion" of any sort happening.

Our Lady Peace, Crash Karma — that ridiculous band featuring Edwin, ex-Tea Party drummer Jeff Burrows, former Zygote bassist Amir Epstein and former OLP guitarist Turner — and Big Wreck afterthought Thornley are among the '90s Can-Rock-related acts that will play this year's Edmonton ED Fest. K-OS, Pilot Speed, Arkells and Hinder are also on the bill.

Separate stages will showcase Aboriginal musicians and children's entertainers, respectively.

ED Fest 2009 runs from July 17 to 26 at Edmonton's Capital Ex, and as usual it features rides, a shopping boutique, an Aboriginal heritage, art and culture exhibition and more. Admission is $8 a day for adults over 13 years old and $3 for young-uns aged seven to 12. Kiddies younger than six years of age get in free. All-day ride passes cost you $38 and include gate admission. All the musical entertainment is free with gate admission and takes place at the Northlands Grounds.

Oh, and in case you're wondering whether Crash Karma will ever release an album, their Facebook group page says they are "putting the finishing touches" on it, but are taking some time off so Epstein can go on honeymoon.

What will said album sound like? Well, according to Crash Karma's Facebook page, their sound is described as ""sound waves that make love to your ear (even when your not in the mood)."
