Paul Collins Beat and Dany Laj & The Looks will tour together all across Canada and the USA!

In the true spirit of DIY touring Dany Laj and Paul Collins have teamed up to bring their brand of rocking power pop to the masses! In what has now become a way of life the tour will involve up and coming bands on every stop. “We love to support all the new bands that are popping up everywhere!” says Paul Collins. As in most of the tours The Beat is involved in, they start as simple ideas, “Hey you want to do a tour?” “Hell Yeah!”  That was Jeanette Dowling, bassist for Dany Laj & The Looks response to Paul when he suggested their two bands join forces for this massive tour that begins in Toronto March 30 and ends in Brooklyn April 30, and hitting Bozeman April 20 at the Filling Station.

One added feature to the US dates will be the “Record Fair/Happy Hour with DJ concept that Paul has been pioneering now since last year. As Paul tells it, “This has been the single best idea to get the shows to be more fun and bring people out earlier so the opener can play to a crowd!” Cool local record shops are invited to come down and bring their selection of cool vintage rock LP’s to start the night off with a celebration of rock n roll records. Add in a happy hour and a DJ and you have an awesome rock n roll cocktail of fun!

So what can you do? There is no one pulling the strings here, we have no corporate sponsors we do it all ourselves, all we ask of you is to let your listeners or readers know about this event, the ticket prices are small but the fun is big, everyone is a winner here.
