Ohbijou are going to spend the early part of the fall touring eastern Canada in support of their upcoming Metal Meets album.

Hopefully this means Danko Jones will not start sounding like the latter two bands. Want some free tracks from Austra, Young Galaxy, Winter Gloves, PS I Love You, The Rural Alberta...
