By Sarah MurphyToronto alt-country troubadours the Wooden Sky will kick off an intimate tour of Southern Ontario tomorrow night (October 19) with a sold-out show in their hometown. In conjunction with the tour dates, the band are also getting set to release their new City of Light EP on October 25, but Exclaim.ca has set up an exclusive online stream for your listening pleasure.
The EP should hold fans over until the Wooden Sky's new full-length record is made available in early 2012. As a special treat for concertgoers, 400 limited-edition copies of the EP will be available at the shows in cassette format.

And what will a person do with a cassette tape? Might as well have put them on a gramophone record.
Posted by Nameless Poseur On 2011-11-11 19:54:14I would love this on cassette tape. I use a tape to 1/8" converter in my car anyway.
