Arrah and the Ferns is a big small band.
But even after playing 130 shows last year it is still very possible you didn’t see them.
I didn’t.
But, I did find them somehow. Probably one of those late myspace sessions I’m trying to stay away from of late. I acquired their album via the internet (the illegal way) and was very taken with it. That was last summer.
I listened to it last night again and go figure it’s still good!
My first brush with them, “Apple for Evan”, is still a possible favourite, but there are plenty of other gems. Really…there isn’t a second wasted.
I love thirty minute records!
Currently, they are recording their second album for national release on May 6th through Standard Recording, from which you can buy their debut here.
Colloquial Mage is quite good friends with a member of this band. Good to see them get some Collective love.

This band is absolutely one of the funnest bands out there.
I stayed with Dave(drums), and his friends while I was on tour with Toby Foster. They were all really cool and really nice.
I hope to meet them sometime.
Meghan and I played a couple shows with them back in the early days of Tinyfolk, before they released their first album. We kinda found each other on myspace and decided to set up a show and it went over swimmingly. We’re all friends. Dave and I tried to start a band with Marilyn (aka Cool Conductor), but it fell through because none of us are really the take-charge type.
Much love for Arrah and the Ferns.
Would THEY play with us at the cinemat?
i found arrah & the ferns about a year ago on myspace, and i’m so glad i did! i didn’t get a chance to go see them, though. i would lovelovelove to see a tinyfolk/arrah show.
