Weak Hip

The Weakerthans will be hitting the road with seminal Canadian rock act The Tragically Hip for at least three Ontario gigs in June, including two dates at Toronto�s Fort York. This isn�t the first time the two bands have teamed up. In its first arena show ever, the folk/punk act opened for The Hip in Hamilton back on New Year�s Eve 2004, and during The Hip�s 2005 JUNO Awards performance (where it was inducted in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame) frontman Gord Downie sang a few lines from The Weakerthan�s track �Aside� to the delight of Winnipeggers everywhere.
