A Date with a Smoke Machine
Out February 16, 2010- CD/LP Page returns to Little Bullhorn, with his first album in seven years, a restrained effort that serves as a nice foil to the raucous rock of Camp Radio. Also available on LP via our friends at Saved by Vinyl. "The album is almost an homage to the '90s generation of alt-rock troubadours, as shades of Evan Dando, the Grapes Of Wrath and perhaps tangentially, Bill Fox's recently rediscovered masterpiece, Transit Byzantium, are apparent throughout. Even early Billy Bragg is touched upon in "Coax The Ending Day," as well as vintage R.E.M. in "Keep Me On Your Radar." It's this sense that Page is deftly walking the fine line between folk and rock that gives A Date With A Smoke Machine its resonance. True power pop fans will not be disappointed." - Exclaim!

Bio
Camp Radio leader Chris Page has an enviable rock pedigree, which stretches back to his teens, when he helped to form Glengarry, ON punk outfit The Stand GT. The Stand’s blue collar DIY ethic was a thing of legend. They toured Canada countless times in the late 80′s and early 90′s, releasing scads of cassettes, 7″ records and CDs on various imprints, and left their mark on CanCon’s rock tree in blood.
