Wow... what a kick ass weekend

First and foremost, a big big THANK YOU to everyone who made this weekend so special for us. The album officially comes out Tuesday and what better way to release it than to play two amazing shows, completely sell out of our first run of copies and play two amazing clubs!

Let's recap:

Friday, we played the big hometown gig and everyone was loud and we were loving it! Shirts were flying off the merch table and all the copies we had made of our CD were snatched up. You guys were loud, it was sweaty and it was fun. In fact it was so sweaty that Alex had to wring his shirt out. Mmmmmm.

Here was our setlist:

Wellington City Skyscraper
To See You get Through
Sound the Alarm
Ocean
Best Way Home
Straight and Narrow
Familiar Old Sun
Run Away
Secret Service
Along the Way
(Encore) You Don't Know What you Want


Saturday: we loaded up the van and hit the 401. We were the special guest band for the UK Underground party, which for those of you who don't know is a big kick ass dance party DJ'ed by Mark Holmes, formerly of Platinum Blonde. We arrived, we rocked it and even had the people on the floor dancing. Great great night!!!

Here's a pic!




So that's it, the album is officially out Tuesday and we hope to have rightbymidnight.com up and running by then for you to be able to buy a copy! Stay tuned.

Haven't blogged in a while

Hey guys


So it's been a while since we've done a really proper update and so much has gone on that made it difficult to get caught up on noting and blogging. So that being said, let's get everyone up to speed.

First things first, the album is ready to go. I'm sitting here right now staring at boxes of cd's, and t-shirts for that matter, just waiting for all you guys. We're so excited to finally be at this stage of bringing everything that we've worked so hard on to you for your enjoyment. As many of you know the record is dropping May 18th for purchase (shortly after on itunes as there was a bit of a delay) but to celebrate everything starting next Tuesday May 11th, we're going to stream the album in its entirety over on our CBC Radio 3 page, which you can find here:

We're also doing all kinds of press leading up to the show. A few weeks back we partook in a little online interview performance called "BandsUndone" and you can check out our videos here:

Next Thursday May 13th we will be featured in the Ottawa Citizen as well as doing an interview on Carleton University Radio CKCU. The interview airs at 11pm and you can listen live by clicking the following link:

And then finally, two big live shows, our birth into the Canadian music scene. Zaphods in Ottawa and The Mod Club Theatre in Toronto. We are beyond excited for these I can't even describe it to you! So pumped! We can't wait.

We also have a ton more shows booked for the summer including some smaller tours even. So check out our myspace and get all the dates:

That's all for now!
