The Weakerthans are pleased to announce The Rolling Tundra Revue 2009 Canadian National Tour.

Featuring Toronto's Constantines the tour will seek to build on the work the two bands have done on the road together. This extensive 
tour 
will take them from St John's Newfoundland across the entire country to Victoria BC then North to end in the city of Whitehorse, Yukon. 
Over 
the course of the tour the bands will be performing almost 30 concerts in 21 different cities. Expanding on the highly successful 
inaugural Rolling 
Tundra Revue Tour of 2005 they have included St John's and Whitehorse to give Canadian audiences this unprecedented 
occurrence, rarely do 
artists of their stature take on a tour of this scope focusing on Canada alone.

The Constantines have just released their 4th album Kensington Heights in partnership with a new label, Arts and Crafts and are expanding 
their audiences
and continue to refine their artistic version of working man’s Rock’n Roll.

The two critically acclaimed recording artists have previously joined forces on several concert tours. On the shows each act tries to raise the level of their performance
to match or better the others. Joining them nightly will be a vast array of local and regional Canadian talent.

After ten years together the momentum only continues to build and The Weakerthans launch this tour on the heels of their highly successful fourth album 
Reunion Tour.
The 2007 Anti release has garnered critical accolades and enjoyed a fruitful year of awards from the XM Satellitte Radio Award, the WCMA's as well as the SOCAN Echo
prize for song writing. Reunion Tour also made the heralded short list for the 2008 Polaris Prize. With these awards, and 
their history of craft and dedication The Weakerthans
have affirmed their place in the pantheon of Canadian rock bands and songwriters. Their songs and 
reputation as a band have brought them from 
the margins to stand with their peers in the Canadian music industry.

The Weakerthans are sincerely looking forward to the Rolling Tundra Revue 2009 tour as a continuation of this success.
