Dust Poets

It does sound like a dream come true, doesn't it?

One of Canada's most delicious breweries, Big Rock Beer, has announced the finalists for their Big Rock Untapped CD Vol. II. Out of over 500 submitted songs, Walk Away by the Dust Poets made the cut and will be included along with 14 other tunes by unsigned Canadian artists on this compilation CD which will be distributed in 30000 specially marked cases of Big Rock beer beginning in February 2009.

Members of the Dust Poets were pleased when they heard the news of this illustrious kudo from one of their most revered breweries, but were absolutely beside themselves when they heard that Big Rock would be giving the band 30 complimentary cases of their prize-winning craft brewed beer. In an odd twist to the feel good story, bassist and self-described "beernissuer" Gord Mowat, the only Poet living in Toronto, was reportedly crestfallen when he heard that the free sample of delicious and tantalizing Big Rock would be delivered to an address in Winnipeg where band members Sean McManus and Karla Ferguson reside. "I don't see why they couldn't have dropped a couple twelves at my place", said Mowat, dejectedly kicking at a frozen dog turd in front of his row house. "I live in downtown Toronto for gods sake. Do I seriously have to go all the way to Winnipeg to get my free Trad? They could just send me a bloody LCBO voucher or something..." he muttered.

So friends, watch for your copy of Big Rock Untapped Vol II at Canadian beer stores near you starting sometime in February. Visit www.bigrockuntapped.com for more info. And if you want to mooch free beer off Sean and Karla, we suggest you do it SOON.
