CD release, tour, etc

Tom Keenan released his debut CD, Romantic Fitness, on March 27th. Simultaneously his brother Patrick released his Washed Out Roads, and the two threw a party at the West End Cultural Centre, featuring all kinds of guests from Winnipeg's music scene, including Matt Peters (Royal Canoe), Rachel Moody (WSO), Jaxon Haldane (The D-Rangers) and Head in the Sand's own Mike Petkau.

Following the tour the two brothers took bassist Joey Penner and drummer Kelly Castle on a mini-prairie tour to Regina, Calgary, Lethbridge and Edmonton.

Romantic Fitness has charted at #7 on Lethbridge campus radio, and has received several outstanding reviews, including:
