Finger Eleven will be performing at the Samsung New Year’s Eve celebration on the Rideau Canal in our nation’s capital! 
It sounds like it’s going to be a great night in Ottawa since the free event will feature a countdown to midnight with the Amanda Rheaume Band and Finger Eleven but will also include my other passion, hockey.  The World Junior Hockey Championship will be broadcast on four big-screen televisions on the canal’s Skateway.
What could be better than music, celebrations and hockey all together on New Year’s Eve?  Not much, in my opinion!

Finger Eleven will be opening for Kid Rock while he embarks on his European tour.  The Canadian rock group, who you may know best from their smash hit “Paralyzer,” which is officially the18th most downloaded song in history (can you believe that!?).  I think that, if you happen to be near one of their tour stops, you should check them out (you can ignore Kid Rock, if you want – that’s what I would do!).  I saw them at the Calgary Stampede this past year and they were incredible! 
Here are the currently announced tour dates:

Here’s the video for Finger Eleven’s single “Talking to the Walls” from their album “Them vs. You vs. Me” which was released in November, 2007.   I think this is a decent song but does anyone else think that it sometimes sounds a lot like Aerosmith’s “Livin’ on the Edge” (especially the bass line)?

This Finger Eleven song is called “Talking to the Walls” and it’s off of their album “Them vs. You vs. Me.” I like this song. I prefer the other tracks from this album, but I like these lyrics. The video shown below has the lyrics to the song. Enjoy!

Finger Eleven were amazing the other night at the Calgary Stampede.  I had forgotten how much I loved their music and it was a great trip down memory lane.  Lead singer, Scott Anderson, was really incredible – his voice was clear and even better live than recorded.  They gave a kick-ass performance of Paralyzer which, of course, drove the crowd insane. 
The only distraction were the body surfers.  Seriously, if you are going to body surf, don’t do it at the Calgary Stampede.  That’s just lame – the crowd isn’t really into it and then people get hurt.  I saw …read more
