Artist: The Perpetrators, Album: The Perpetrators, Song: Six Pack

"Well I got my six pack and here I go.  It's just a few blocks up the road."  The Perpetrators ("Perps") are a blues rock band from Winnipeg.  The members have been around that city's scene for a couple of decades often playing as a backing band to various blues artists.  In 2003, they released their self-titled debut which included this great tune, Six Pack.  Their sound is a mix of raunchy rock and blues.  Similar to the sound popularized by the White Stripes, Black Keys and the Soledad Brothers.  They've been nominated for a Juno and have toured Europe on numerous occasions.  They have 4 albums released to date and their most recent, a live album, was released this year.  You can buy this album as well as their entire discography on Itunes and at CD Baby.  The band will be touring across Canada and into the US this year and you can keep tabs on them at http://www.perps.ca/.  You can hear the song, Six Pack, on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znl9_O5IW3A).  As always, you can hear this song as well as others that I blog about each day on Live 365 (http://www.live365.com/stations/raisedoncndnradio).  Thanks for reading and enjoy!
