Repent ye all sinners! The Reverend is in town!

If you're looking for Lisgar O'Connor on Saturday June 4, we will be at Babylon's (317 Bank Street in Ottawa, http://www.babylonclub.ca/), attending the Music for Cats Records showcase, featuring our good friends from Boston: Reverend Glasseye and His Wooden Legs (http://www.reverendglasseye.com/).

The Reverend is famous for his "scary-gospel" music and delivers a very theatrical performance. See you there!
