Recent press appearances:

Dec. 16, 2009: The Weirdies’ Horseshoe gig is reviewed by Lonely Vagabond: “Who are the Weirdies? We are The Weirdies!” One part garage-punk outlaws, one part 50’s revivalists, unleashed as Beach Blanket Punk that’s built for speed. Alternating between the growling vocals of guitarist “Bad” and the Kate Pierson-style yelps of bassist Minx, it’s clear that this trio’s combination of raw intensity and feel-good energy makes for straight ahead rock ‘n roll party music.”

July 13, 2009: Minx interviewed on The Ruckus podcast.

November 21, 2008: The Weirdies featured on CBC Radio 3 Podcast With Grant Lawrence, Episode 183.

November 2008: The Weirdies In 3D reviewed in Exclaim: “The Weirdies in 3D is fun, loud, raunchy and flat-out awesome. Comprised of ex-members of Toronto garage rock institutions Tijuana Bibles, the Pin-Ups! and the Threat, the Weirdies play songs about planetarium knife fights and cuffed jeans, and they’re great. With the swagger of the Detroit Cobras and the classic riffs of the MC5, songs like ‘Let’s Get Hot’ manage to ride the line between nostalgia and relevance, making for a record that stays exciting for its entire running length — 12 songs in a brisk 24 minutes. It’s worth noting that drummer Space Weirdie makes a living doing screen-printing and design, and the truly badass artwork that accompanies this disc is a genuine asset to the music. Listen to the record and touch that CD sleeve. Both rule. ”

Oct. 16, 2008: The Weirdies In 3D reviewed in the Montreal Mirror: “Drags-style snotty garage punk with flourishes of trashy rock ’n’ roll à la 5-6-7-8s and dollar-store lyrics that would make even the Mummies blush. 8/10“

Sept. 5, 2008: The Weirdies appear on Slice TV’s Mr. Friday.

Aug. 22, 2008: Listen to The Weirdies on the Rue Morgue podcast! (Hint: our interview is about 32 minutes into the hour-long podcast.) Download here.
