Town Pants
Label: Independent
since circa 1997
Singing songs of love, death, lamenters lamenting, sea disasters, terrible hangovers, The Town Pants play aggessive celtic tinged fast-folk.

The band has also played throughout the rest of Canada & Europe. Their latest album Piston Baroque was produced by Spirit of the Wests' Hugh McMillan...
