St. John’s, Nfld-bred six-piece band Hey Rosetta! Have just announced a fall North American tour with a stop in Vancouver Nov 12. The band’s current album Seeds has been voted to the Top 10 Short List for this year’s Polaris Music Prize. Australia’s The Jezebels will tour with the band.
Hey Rosetta! have a free EP recorded at the XM studios for the Verge on offer.
