January 13 – Indie Pop Series Volume 13
Happy New Year! Thanks VanMusic for having us at your Year-End party with Zeppelina, what an awesome way to close out 2011 (photos here). Don’t miss us next with Artinair, Ross Fairbairn and Glenn Chatten at the Indie Pop Series Volume 13 – which, coincidentally, is on Friday the 13… 2012… (cue unsettling music…) – at the British Ex-Servicemen Association Club, 1143 Kingsway, 9 pm, $5. Facebook event here.
Frank Zappa Cover Contest II
On December 30, we also announced our latest FZ Cover Contest: Go to our facebook page and post a suggestion for our next Zappa cover. If we pick your tune, we’ll have a prize for you at one of our upcoming shows. We look forward to hearing from you!
December 30 with Zeppelina
Ring in the new year with Zappa and Zeppelin! We’ll be opening for Zeppelina, Canada’s only all female tribute to Led Zeppelin, at VanMusic’s End of the Year Party on December 30, 2011. The show will be back at one of our favourite new venues: The British Ex-Servicemen Association Club (1143 Kingsway, Vancouver) – which is cool ’cause they have free pool and $2 BEER. What more could you want on a New Year’s Eve’s Eve?
Join the facebook event here; and while you’re waiting, why not check out
a sneak preview from our new album
and our newly updated YouTube Channel!

We’re back at the British Legion (1143 Kingsway) Friday Nov 18 for Volume 5 of the Indie Pop Vancouver Series. We’ll be playing with The Rain and The Sidewalk and Redrick Sultan, so it should be an awesome show!
VanMusic, CITR and the British Ex-Servicemen Association are pioneering this AWESOME new live music venue – SO COME SUPPORT IT. The place boasts $2 BEER, free pool, cheap munchies, a dance floor and, OF COURSE, a few larger-than-life Legion regulars to spice up your night. We need more places like this to rock out on a Friday night. $5 cover. Don’t miss out!
TAT in the studio
We just finished a great 3-day recording session at The Hive!
We recorded 15 TRACKS (2 full albums’ worth) and the mixing has already begun. Look for the results soon! While you’re waiting, check out some…
photos from the session!

Squinter’s Paradise
Courtney at Soulpepper
Our vocalist and flautist Courtney Lancaster has been selected to be part of the Soulpepper Theatre Academy – one of the most prestigious theatre companies in Canada. Congratulations Courtney! She’ll be in Toronto for the next while so we’ll be performing here without her, but don’t miss her on our upcoming release Squinter’s Paradise – featuring a STUNNING vocal solo in the title track! (If we do say so ourselves…)
May 15 at The Penthouse
Hey! We’re back at The Penthouse May 15 with Radio Nation.
This will be our last gig with the incredible Courtney Lancaster for the next few months while she theatre-gig’s-it-up in the big TO (Congratulations Courtney!). It will be a night of fun, fun and more fun so don’t miss out!

March 17 at The Princeton Pub
That’s right! Two Apple Tobacco returns to The Princeton Pub Thursday March 17 for a very special St. Patrick’s Day Party and Concert!
We’ll be performing alongside awesome local bands Boobytrap and The New Normal, and we’ve got an extra-crazy St. Patty’s Day medley planned so it should be an exciting show. Drink specials, dancing and drunken debauchery.
Don’t forget to wear green!
March 3 at The Princeton Pub
Thanks to everyone who came out to Nyala last night! We had an incredible show, featuring a rockin’ performance of Squinter’s Paradise (with ‘Elephant Trombone‘) and particularly smokin’ takes of our TAT classics Crude Advice, The Ballad of Jeff Clark and From Killingry to Livingry.
Stay tuned for our next appearance – live at The Princeton Pub (1901 Powell) March 3! We’ll be playing 2 exciting sets alongside cover band Headz Up – so don’t miss it. We’ve got so much material these days, you never quite know what to expect…
