Dear everyone,
We would like to offer you our most heartfelt and sincere thanks for this past year. Two thousand and nine has been incredible for us, and its all thanks to you. We’ve met so many amazing people in our travels this year; fans at shows, fans on the internets, fans on the street, music promoters, radio station personnel, label folk, industry types, artists, hotel staff, bar managers, parking lot attendants, highway patrol officers, cafe baristas, auto mechanics…and countless more amazing individuals. We’re also proud and honoured to have made such incredible new friends in the Canadian music scene in bands such as Mother Mother, Arkells, Joel Plaskett, Tokyo Police Club, Will Currie & The Country French, The Dudes, Hey Rosetta, City And Colour, Yukon Blonde, We Are The City (and more!), as well as having maintained and had wonderful times with old friends Dan Mangan, Hannah Georgas, Hey Ocean, The Zolas, Hollerado and more.
So thank you all, musicians and fans alike, for your incredible support. It means the world to us.
We hope you all have a happy New Year and we’ll see you in 2010.
Love,
Said The Whale






Please, please, please, STW, please tour down here to California. You are No. 1 on my list of acts I want to see. Don’t make me have to come to Vancouver as Two Hours Traffic made me. As it was I had to have a friend in Ontario get me your CD Islands Disappear at a show and mail it to me. Ask Ryan of Mother Mother – I’ll greet you when you drive up. San Francisco, Sacramento, any town in northern California works for me.
BTW, Congrats on your Bucky Award from CBC Radio3. I voted repeatedly for you. But you’re not the only one, as I am the 2009 CBC Radio3 Fan of the Year.
Now quit making excuses and tour down here! I will put my money where my mouth is!

You guys are amazing. Listening to “Planning for the Future” takes me to another place, to a different level. I just started listeninga little while ago but I will definitely be telling local radio to play you guys. I’m in Edmonton, hopefully you have a gig here planned in 2010.
You guys are inspiring me to make my own band/ group type thing(I’m in high school.
Keep rocking into the decade.
