   About The Abbreviations


After spending weeks at headquarters in the farthest reaches of Westdale, Andy, Dave, Fraser and Nick emerged with a new plan; to play music meant to be heard in speeding cars, running ear buds, and brick walled basements. Thus, The Abbreviations set out and crusaded to continue the lush tradition of Canadian Indie Rock. Coming to fruition one rock stomping gig at a time, they have developed and honed a booming live sound alongside such acts as Arkells, Two Hours Traffic, Grizzly Bear, Tokyo Police Club, and The Most Serene Republic. Currently recording demos in preparation for their next studio release, The Abbreviations love to play shows in clubs, festivals, bars, pubs and house parties (for booking, email the_abbreviations@hotmail.com).

Thanks, we need to get some half decent recordings done,
just trying to figure out how to go about it. What did you guys do? The music scene around here is alright,
we live really close to Ottawa which has a really cool scene there. And yea I'm not digging school right now either but you gotta do what you gotta do aha.
So you guys are opening for the Arkells! That is awesome you must be stoked. We went to see them at Bluesfest in July they were great. Let me know how that goes.
Maybe sometime we'll end up playing a show together , who knows!

Cheers,
David
