On a post-it note burried under several other post-it notes that scatter the outside of my monitor I had written TGTGG. I had no idea what this ment until I got an email from Matt at Pigeon Row letting me know that The Got To Get Got are releasing their first full length this week. Sometimes when I hear a band I like, I write their name on a sticky and post it somewhere on my desk so that I will remember to look them up. I guess I heard TGTGG before and liked them.
The Got To Get Got are a seven piece of cute and cuddley boys and girls from Nova Scotia, more specifically from Dartmouth. Hey, what did the kid from Dartmouth get for Christmas? Some kid form Halifax’s bike. That’s the way they roll over there. If you are a band from Halifax just lie and say that you are from Dartmouth. It’s cooler.
TGTGG release their debut LP, Sahalee on Noyes Records this Tuesday, July 14. Buy it HERE. For this collection of pop songs, TGTGG stack violins, guitars and powerful rhythms over intricate arrangements and instantly memorable melodies. They are pretty groovy and will even hit you with some horns to mix things up.
TGTGG are pertty busy this summer and will be passing by Toronto in August. Also, to make your desktop a complete mess, get the Stickies program. It is the anti-organizational software that will make your fake desktop look as crappy as your real desktop.

AUGUST 7 – LONDON, ON @ CALL THE OFFICE
AUGUST 8 – TORONTO, ON @ THEATRE CENTRE – SUMMERWORKS
AUGUST 9 – PETERBOROUGH, ON @ GORDON BEST THEATRE
