Where we're at.

Wow ok, so I'd like to say that we've gotten a lot better at updating this thing, but clearly we haven't. We've been really busy, which I know, is no excuse, but it's the truth. We've actually been doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff lately, so that in the end what you see and hear will be a better band and better product. We entered our rehearsal room recently and started ripping apart our set and reconstructing back into something bigger, better and louder. We feel this is going to have a tremendous impact on our live shows we have coming up this fall. We've been playing these songs for a while, so we thought it was time to change them up from how they sound on the CD. We're also peppering in some of the newer stuff we've been writing too so we're really excited to debut this new set to you guys.

Kingston, you're first up!
We're playing a show next Friday, September 17th, in Kingston at the Mansion. We're really excited to be hitting K-town again!

Ottawa, you're right after on September 24th at the Live Lounge. This is a very important night for us, as we've been selected to play the Live 88.5 Big Money Shot! The winner of the competition walks away with $150,000 towards artist development. This first night, September 24th, we have the chance to walk away with $5,000! We're really excited and we really need all our friends and fans in attendence to help cheer us on! We hope to see you there. More details on Live885.com

Video Blog 1!

Hey all,

Great weekend recording up at the cottage. We're working on putting out an EP for the fall. Check it out.

Foiled again!

Sorry Montreal, we've once again had to cancel our upcoming show due to circumstances beyond our control. We'll try and reschedule soon, but we won't be there August 17th anymore. :(

Otherwise things have been going really well! We recently had the pleasure of opening for In-Flight Safety at their show in Ottawa and it was wicked. Such a nice group of guys. We played a strong set, debuted two new songs, and met a lot of new fans in our hometown! Right on Ottawa!

We have another big hometown show coming up August 12th at Babylon. It's going to be our last hometown show for a while so come check it out. We're going to be playing with Keek, these guys are wicked good and just recently won the Hot89.9 "Battle of the Beats". We can't wait. Advanced tickets are on sale now so snatch them up because trust me, this show WILL sell out!!!

We're also rocking the Mod Club Theatre in Toronto again this Saturday! Free guestlist before 11, so message us to be on it!

Tour wrap up

Well, that's it folks first tour is in the books. We're all back home now getting caught up on all the sleep we missed out on over the last week. We had a blast! And we met so many awesome people and bands. We left off in Tillsonburg so I will try and brief both shows that we had left:

Barrie:

We rolled into Barrie after two comfortable nights in London staying with a friend of mine. We were a bit tired but determined to finish the last two shows off in proper fashion. We played a cool little joint in Barrie called The Foxx Lounge. The crowd was small, but we got soe great applause/feedback and sold quite a lot of cd's. So we'll chalk that up to a win in our books! The interesting thing about Barrie is just how beat up and rundown it is... especially right around the venue itself and in the roach motel we stayed in that night. Whilst checking in, I was interrupted by a hooker paying the hotel manager his cut of her latest "job" with the message that she'll see him again in a few hours. We slept in sleeping bags on the bed and no matter how many times you showered you just didn't feel clean... but we survived.


Burlington:

Probably the best show of the tour. We awoke that morning to discover a down pour, so knowing we couldn't hit the beach that day we opted to spend the day indoors and drove to Yorkdale Mall in Toronto. It's huge so it occupied a lot of our time. We then drove over to Burlington where the sun came out... beach time! We rolled up to the Red Rooster, set up and enjoyed the venue. It's a great little roadhouse type spot. Great sound, friendly staff and awesome musicians. We met THESE GUYS and we are definitely going to be hooking up some shows with them.

We then drove home overnight back to Ottawa arriving at around 5:30am.

We had such an incredible time on the road! Thank you so much to everyone that bought cd's and rocked out with us. It was such a blast that we're talking of hitting the road again in August/September. We'll keep you posted. We're taking the week off to do our own thing, and then we're back at it writing new tunes. Our next scheduled show is July 26th at Zaphods opening for Inflight Safety. We'll hopefully be debuting some new tunes for you at that show!

Ahhh Tillsonburg!

How many bands can say they played Tillsonburg? Well we can. It was a good old fashioned hoe down! The day started off great, an old friend of mine from high school now living in the London area was gracious enough to put us up for two nights. We love him for it. So we woke up yesterday morning and hit the great city of London. We hung out and then hit the road to Tillsonburg. Things weren't looking too promising as it was just an endless amount of farm fields but then we happened upon this quiet little town called Tillsonburg. Things got off to an interesting start when a play fight between Alex and Charles drew the attention of local OPP but they left when they realized we were all friends. We performed with an interesting duo called The Sarah and Jeff show... I really don't know how to describe it to you, so check them out HERE You'll see what I mean.

I thought we played a pretty good set, sold some merchandise after too which is great! We had a warm reception in Tillsonburg! What can we say other than it rocked!?

Here was our set list:

Wellington City Skyscraper
To See you Get Through
Sound the Alarm
Ocean
Best Way Home
Secret Service
Run Away
Familiar Old Sun
Straight and Narrow
Along the Way


We're off to Barrie soon for the show tonight at the Foxx Lounge. Then tomorrow is our last stop in Burlington at the Red Rooster Tavern! So far so good people!
