On Saturday, March 28, 2009, Wordburglar appeared on CBC Radio’s national Saturday morning show GO, hosted by Brent Brambury. This episode, they were searching for a new alternative Canadian anthem. Burgie, along with two other Canadian musicians, presented their submissions with a live performance.
For this song, “Yo Canada,” produced by Peter Project, Wordburglar is backed by DJ Apt. If you missed the show live, you can now go to the site page and stream the archived show. The site is:
