Australia!

Hello BP massive,

We are very pleased to announce that we will be releasing A Mountain
Is A Mouth in Australia on February 13th, 2010. Many thanks to our
friend Ghita, who introduced to her friend Steve, who runs a great
little label called Sensory Projects. Luckily for us, Steve loves our
record and offered to do a run for the Australian public.

Many more details to come. Canadians, if you have an Australian
friend, please tell them about our band. We are starting to figure out
how to make the trip happen too, though that seems pretty expensive at
the moment.

Stay tuned for more details, either way.

One thousand thank yous to everyone that made this weekend at the Music Gallery so special. We will remember those shows forever. Now it's on to the festive season. You probably won't hear from us for a while but fret not, we will be hard at work in our basement lair, preparing for 2010 .

If you're hurting for something to do, you should just watch this video a thousand times. An instant classic, starring BP's own Steve McKay.

See you in the new year.

Two Night Stand

We are excited to officially announce our two night stand at the Music Gallery on November 27th and 28th at the Music Gallery. We're all very fond of the space, having spent some serious time there while recording AMIAM, and hope you'll come join us. We hope to have some new things to show you by then.

These shows will be our last for a while because we're going to spend the winter writing and hopefully recording new songs. Unless something to good to be true comes up, this will be Toronto's last chance to see us until the spring. We promise it will be magic. Come!

Back Home

Arrived home last night from what we're calling the best tour we've ever had. It was just so chock-full of amazing moments and weird happenings that we'll remember it for the rest of our lives.

We're inspired to work on new music now more than ever and so, after a few Toronto shows in November (including two special Music Gallery shows at the end of the month), we're planning to retreat for the winter. This will hopefully weild a couple of 7"s, a 12" and a full-length record by this time next year.

That's the plan, anyhow. We're not always so strict about our plans, but take comfort in the fact that this tour and all the beautiful things that came with it lit a raging fire beneath us.

See you in Toronto in November, or else we'll see you next year.

New Brunny

Nice time had in Sherbrooke. Tasty burgers, appreciative crowd, pretty
town. We witnessed a pretty grizzly car accident but we are trying not
to let it phase us.

Last night in Saint John was a rager. Our host was a totally loveable
drunk guy, the house was the perfect type for a show like that and, oh
yeah, the cops shut us down!

We played a loose and dirty set that was a little too loud for a
Monday but, despite the police presence, we played through to the
bitter end. It was Crabapples as protest song, including a nice little
Shout-style whisper breakdown that erupted into a full-blown gang
chant. It will go down as one of our finest memories.

In PEI tonight for what's shaping up to be a great show, then onto
Halifax tomorrow. More correspondence to come.

Right in the World

I'm staring out of a huge window into the belly of the Ottawa valley.
We are shacked up at the gorgeous home of Adam & Kim in Burnstown, the
site of what we're calling one of our top three favourite shows of all
time. Last night at Neaf was a kind of magic people rarely get to
partake in. An appreciative audience, a delicious meal, a real sense
of artisans and townspeople in love with one another and a pair of
hosts more gracious and generous than people are meant to be.

We had our fair share of fun times in Kingston and Ottawa, to be sure,
but Burnstown is one for the history books.

A million times, thank you.

Spruce up

We'll call it our winter wear. Hope you like the website facelift. Our favourite part is that now you can stream all our releases in the music & merch section. Finally our website allows you to listen to our music. What's a band website for, if not that?

Always seems a little quiet around here when we're getting ready for a run of shows but believe me, if you were here at the headquarters, you'd want us to shut up about things already.

We're plotting out our fall and gearing up for a trip to small towns and big cities East of us over the course of October. Montreal up on Wednesday, Toronto Thursday, Guelph on Friday, then getting in the van and heading for Kingston, Ottawa, Sherbrooke, Rothesay, Charlottetown, Halifax, Sackville and Fredericton. At least 3 of those places we've never been to before. I think we're excited to land on the island, most of all.

Actually, what's got us excited is new blood. Steve's gonna be in Mexico with work so Leon is sitting in for the tour and Kari is staying home with her man/Daniela straight hustlin', so we spread our arms out and scooped up Amy Learmouth (aka The Youngest) and Ivy Mairi to help us out. A big sloppy BP welcome will surely come sometime, somewhere on the highway.

That's all for now. The new year is shaping up. But as always, we're planning to hide out for a while up front, just to make sure our ducks are lined up.
