Wow ok

So point is, we suck at blogging. I know... and I'm sorry. I'm not sure the other guys care, but I do. So news... we finished our record. It's done. It's now in the hands of mastering guru Ryan Mills, and then off to the presses. So. Yay! 10 months of recording, more recording and then re-recording are now done and gone and we're really happy to almost have the final product. Artwork is done and the track list is chosen! So without further ado, ladies and gents, on May 18, 2010 "Right by Midnight" will be released. Here's the tracklisting:

Wellington City Skyscraper
Along the Way
Ocean (In like the waves)
Sound the Alarm
Best Way Home
Long, Tall, Order
Run Away
Straight and Narrow
Secret Service
Familiar Old Sun
To See You Get Through


We're all really excited, exhausted, apprehensive, whatever... about this record. Mainly excited, but exhausted all the same. We're going to be setting up some pre-order information soon as well.

Just a little more to go!

Thank you Montreal

Wow, what a fantastic night. We had a great sampler party down at Centre Ste Ambroise. We played a fairly good set with a lot of goof ups and some good laughs. The after-party at the Irish Embassy was just as good too! So many great fans and friends in Montreal.

So here's the skinny!
We're wrapping up recording on the debut album this week. We've been mixing as we've been going along, but we're going to spend the next few weeks putting together the songs and the album. From there it's on to mastering and then pressing and then in your hands!

You can order tickets to our album launch May 14th at Zaphods right HERE

More news to come soon!

Alright so time for another big proper update!

Hey all, finally taking the time to type a proper update to everyone. Lots of news to cover and some seriously cool announcements to be made, where possible I am going to toss in some pics!

First up, to all of you in Ottawa that packed the Avant Garde Bar last Saturday for our sampler party thank you so much. All of our copies we made are gone and we love you for it. Good vibes and great times all around. We received a ton of positive feedback from the show which reassures us that we are on the right path concerning this record.



Next up is our sampler release in Montreal. It all goes down Saturday March 13th at Centre Ste Ambroise. The lovely June Lashley who did a kick ass job in Ottawa will be opening up for us again in Montreal. We hope to see everyone there.


Next up, we HAVE A NEW DRUMMER! Ladies and gents this band has now become a family affair as our beloved bass player Joey's younger brother Alex Patrois has jumped on board as our new drummer. We're really stoked to have Alex's amazing skill behind the kit added to our sound. He's going to bring a new ferocity and musical sense to the band that I think will only be beneficial to us, so everyone say hi and hug him at our next show to let him know he's loved! We'll hug him too, but we figure the more hugs the better.

Speaking of shows, we're really stoked to announce the two following shows timed around the release of our debut record (slated for May 18th). On FRIDAY MAY 14TH we will be rocking Zaphods in Ottawa for our big CD release bash! You can buy your tickets online RIGHT HERE however, we have some really sweet deals for you if you buy them in person through the band. They are as follows:

Leading up to our album launch we're going to be doing a lot of cool things.

On May 13th we'll be live on the air on CKCU to discuss the new record and play some acoustic tunes as well and there's more to come.


There... I think I said enough for today!

Update on the progress of the album






Hey all,


I swear I need to get better at updating our blog. I'm sorry!
So the album is really coming along now. I would say we're about... 70% complete. For Charles and I it's coming to a point we didn't think we'd ever see last September when we started recording this thing. We're working really really hard to get it finished. There's just some piano parts, vocals and backing vocals to add before we move to the final mix, then mastering, then pressing. It's hopefully going to be really really awesome when we're done. I'm actually really excited about this! Here's some cool pics of us boys in action!
