Thanks to Tunesontv.com, it makes it so easy to find out what song is playing in a commercial….something that used to take ages to find. Last night I saw a car commercial (for Honda Insight) for the catchiest song I’ve heard in a while. To my surprise when I looked it up, it was actually a band I knew! I thought it sounded familar, but hey I was tired. The Great Lake Swimmers had landed the gig with ‘See You on the Moon!’ and I was really surprised to find this out. Another Canadian secret but hopefully not for long. This is definatly a song worth checking out.
The Great Lake Swimmers are currently on an international tour. Check out the dates on their MYSPACE
Thanks for the shout out – I’d been wanting to get the new Great Lakes album – just got it, love it.
