THIS SIMPLY CANNOT BE (emphasis added for the attention-spanless).

"For the last 21 years, Rheostatics' songwriting frontline of Dave Bidini, Martin Tielli, Tim Vesely, and more currently, drummer/producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda, have helped spark and shepherd contemporary CanRock from a self-conscious sound-alike scene into a spirited universal force, leaving classic albums like Melville, Whale Music, Music Inspired by the Group of Seven, Story of Harmelodia, and 2067 in their sonic wake. After much consternation, it has been resolved that the March 30th, 2007 date at Massey Hall will be the last live performance for the group as they have existed for the last few decades. The Rheostatics may continue to persevere in one form or another in the future, but not with their current lineup intact. For fans of the Rheostatics, it will be the last chance to see this band as they've appeared heretofore; one final evening with Canada's most beloved, longstanding rock band."

I think I'm going to be sick.

Well, we've got our tickets booked. Planes, trains and friends to crash with will follow.
