The Secret Sessions

The Secret Sessions is a tribute album to Canadian indie rock band Rheostatics, released March 16, 2007 through the web label Zunior. The album was released to coincide with the band's farewell show scheduled for March 30, and features Canadian indie rock artists performing Rheostatics songs. The album was not publicized in advance, so that its release on March 16 would be a surprise for the band — the album was presented to the band live on Dave Bookman's show on CFNY-FM on March 15.

Notably, the album includes reunion performances by three bands, Weeping Tile, Local Rabbits and The Inbreds, who were contemporaries of the Rheostatics in the 1990s Canadian indie rock scene, but have since broken up.

The album is available as a limited edition CD release through Zunior, but is otherwise available only as a download from the label's website. Profits generated by the album are donated to charity.
