Hello, hello:
You damned little spring chickens. As part of our planned European release this September, 5 Roses Press and Publicity has created a page for your trulies. To any of our European friends, please feel free to contact them if you are interested in having us around. More on this soon.
More immediately, however, we have some shows coming up for the White Whale Records 5 year anniversary. Poster and details below:
Well hello. Thanks to all for coming out to our recent shows in Toronto in Montreal. It was quite a thing to play in front of such good crowds. It had seemed a good time was had by most, but apparently this is not the case. Zing!
The lesson here is that you cannot win all the time. We are grown men, and have thought much in terms our own feelings about the subject known as “ourselves.”
We have done some dabbling with some recording with Dave MacKinnon of Fembots . If all goes, we will be appearing on the Friends in Bellwoods compilation.
We are also looking forward to a European release of our EP sometime in the fall of next year. More details to come about touring plans. Please contact if you have any ideas.
Humans:
Happy new year to you all. Some news: We have some shows coming up next week in Toronto and Montreal with the fine folks in Fembots, the Harbourcoats, and Great Bloomers.
We are also going to start recording again sometime soon. We have no plans as to what’s going to happen, but we’ll just wait and see, OK?
Show details for Toronto are below:
Our debut EP was named #2 on Herohill.com’s top 10 Canadian EPs list. Thanks folks!
Don’t forget: We have a show this Friday with our pals Major Grange at the Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge). The show starts at 10 PM!
Dear friends:
Some news. We are playing this weekend with the fine Jim Bryson Band at the Black Sheep Inn.
Sorry we told you so late, but it’s sold out. Hope you could have made it.
Also! Dec. 12 marks our Holiday show in the cozy confines if of the Tranzac Southern Cross Lounge, with the most excellent Major Grange.
In addition, our EP has been steadily climbing on the CBC Radio 3 Podcast. We’re not sure what that means, but we thought you should know.
Congratulations to all the babies in the world! Way to be born!
Here and here in Exclaim. Also: Eye Weekly.
Thanks to all who came out to our shows a few weeks back, and special thanks to Poorfolk/ Sarah Hallman/ Mandibles/ Steven McKay band for sharing the stage and to Revolution Rock, Vish Khanna-Kazoo/ and the Tranzac club for playing host. Good times were had.
We’re happy to announce that the physical copy of the EP is now officially in stores and up on Zunior digital music store. If you are going to buy digital, we strongly encourage you to support Canadian retailers.
We’re not playing shows for the next little while, as Shaw-han embarks upon a tour of Japan with his I am robot and proud project. We’ll let you know if/ when things happen. If you’ve been here before, you’ll know that we have no fucking plan whatsoever.
Some new reviews and articles are up on the Reading Materials page. This will assuage you of any bad feelings you might have about the collapse of Merrill Lynch.
Sadly, we’ve had to cancel our show in Montreal due to an unforseen class one of us is teaching. We hope you’ll forgive and forget. We’ll be back soon.
The CDs are in our grubby little hands and will be available for the selling this weekend. They look great, and we think you will enjoy liking them.
