More shows

Just added October dates for Kingston, Sackville and Fredericton. Hopefully something for Ottawa and Quebec City will get firmed up any day now.

We're also probably making our first foray into the US this November. It'll be slow going at first, with just a quick shot up to NY but hopefully it'll be just the first entry in a long list of trips Southward.

Stay tuned!

Eep-Mail

You may have noticed some trouble with the website and myspace over the last few weeks. We just underwent a server change and it went South for a little while there. Back up and running now. In the coming weeks we're gonna give this place a face lift and try to work out some of the bugs. We'd always rather be writing songs than writing code, but we know that sometimes it just has to be done.

Many thanks to our most distinguished friend and roommate Mike Smith of Muskox for offering us some of his web property. And also a big thanks to Cam and Escape Goat for putting up with our backdoor e-shenanigans for the last few years.

Friends in Prince Edward Island, we are happy to announce that we'll be in Charlottetown on Oct 20th. We can't wait to come see you. More shows are coming down the pipe every day and we'll roll out the announcements as they get firmed up.

Also, you should probably know about compilation below. We are happy to be included and to have a new song for you to listen to. Please pick it up and support a good cause (not to mention the amazing music you get to hear in the process... Check out that track list!).

Our contribution is In Parallel, the first fully completed new recording since A Mountain Is A Mouth was released. Click the cover for details.

Humidity

To start, a straight-up 'thanks for coming!' to everybody that wandered around the island and took in that beautiful lightning storm with us yesterday. It was a perfectly imperfect day, don't you think?

Today we've been putting some more shows together. New ones announced in Montreal, Guelph, Peterborough and Halifax and hopefully there'll be many more to come. We're going to try our hands at crossing the border very soon but not before we play a hometown rally at the Horseshoe on October 1st. A scant few more details can be found on the shows page.

Pictures from our tour will hopefully be up here within the week and somewhere down the line, soon enough, 15 minutes of new recorded music will surface. We're currently just debating what form it should take.

Sit tight. Keep cool. Drink some water. Watch out for fire ants.
