Generationals have announced the release of their forthcoming record, Reader As Detective. They debuted their new single "I Turned My Back on the Written Word" last night in a surprise performance on Fresh Fridays.  Their long-awaited return to television wowed audiences nation-wide. Check it out here.

Small venues are a mixed bag. Maybe it’s due to the prevalence of festivals popping up over the land or just the trend of me attending more concerts in larger venues, but smaller venues don’t sound quite as good as they did before. Don’t get me wrong, Cafe du Nord is a wonderful place. As mentioned before, it’s a really charming former speakeasy, but its’ intimacy is a gift and a curse. Tuesday’s Generationals show was a perfect example for why this is so.
