Our friends in the Constantines recently completed a handful of dates opening for The Tragically Hip. These were the sort of shows that take place in great, cavernous arenas. In Canada, as we understand it, that pretty much means, specifically, hockey arenas. And though it has been pointed out that hockey arenas are maybe not the best place in the world to experience live rock music, this picture here sure makes it seem worth a shot.

Can I get a wet nurse? (This video, by the way, is not from these ’Hip dates the Constantines recently played, but is in fact a live video from 2003 of the band playing the shit right out of the song “Young Offenders”.)

We hope that it comes as no (or even relatively little) surprise that we here at Sub Pop Records are great fans of a few things that are not actually on or directly related to Sub Pop Records. And one of these things that we are great fans of is the Suicide Squeeze record label. The label is both our neighbor and friend and is right now in the midst of an unbelievable Decade Crushing Sale.
