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.
Dear Mom:
Well, the record is about to be in our furry little hands. We have a bunch of shows planned to celebrate it. If you look to the right, you’ll see them. There are some fine bands we are playing with, including Poorfolk, Sarah Hallman, Mandibles and Steven McKay
I know you can’t make them all, but it would be great to see you.
Love,
Tusks
P.S.: I forgot to mention. We took your advice and will be sending our record around. Exclaim did a little preview on their website.
Hello Friends:
You might have heard that a while back we finished a recording some songs. Well, now they are available on a certain mega on-line store whose company name I will refrain from saying again. Anyhow, it’s here:

These songs were recorded by Jeff McMurrich between the spring of 2007 and January 2008. There are fast songs and slow songs and inbetween songs.
Please note the lovely artwork by our pal Philippe Blanchard.
Until the actual CD is made, you can buy the whole EP for $3.99. When it’s released in September on White While records, it will be its normal price.
Tusks, Forever.com was hacked by intrepid teenagers, likely emanating from Seoul.
A complete and thorough re-design is in the works, anyhow. Stay tuned…
