TODAY'S THE DAY
There's a photo of Andy on the cover of today's Montreal Gazette. He looks kinda dorky, but there's a good story that accompanies it in the Arts section. Click here for the link. For the rest of the media coverage for the show, please see the PRESS section.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT
Li'l Andy will be teaming up with Ideal Lovers for one of the biggest shows of this year's Pop Montreal festival.

VIDEO!
The video for "Auburn Fades Away" is finished. All the crazy time-lapse photography and animated pastel sketches of trains were directed, animated and drawn by Dale Hayward. You should watch it. Here's a link to its home in the "YouTube." Or, you can see it on our MySpace.
