Canasta: Remixed
Chicago indie rockers Canasta are shaking off the winter blahs with a remix of their latest album We Were Set Up with a mini tour and a free downloadable remix album, appropriately named We Were Mixed Up. It's available starting today on the band's website and contains remixes by members of The Hood Internet, OFFICE, The Fake Fictions, Brighton MA, Allá, Velvetron, Crap Engine, and more. The bonus in it for you, music lover (besides a new album in your iPod rotation), is a chance at winning some neat-o "Canasta Flash Drives" (one at each out-of-town show) emblazoned with the Canasta logo and containing their entire catalogue (including the remix album).
Canasta on the road:
Friday, Feb. 22: Ypsilanti, MI
Saturday, Feb. 23: Cleveland, OH
Wednesday, Feb. 27: Minneapolis, MN
Friday, Feb. 29: Kalamazoo, MI
They'll return to town and officially release the remix album (and give away a bunch more flash drives) on March 1 at the Beat Kitchen along with Scotland Yard Gospel Choir and Otter Petter. Doors open at 9:30pm, tickets are $10 and it's 18+. Until then, enjoy your downloads.
