American Dates

the news

Hey friends. We have some things to tell you about.

1 -- On February 13th, A Mountain Is A Mouth will be officially available to the import-adverse, record-buying public of Australia via Sensory Projects and Inertia Distribution. We recently landed rotation on FBI and we're working to get the cats at Triple J to pick it up. Please request it! If you'd like to buy the Australian edition, or just find out more, please click here.

2 -- We are heading to the US for the first time in March, with 2 NY shows, a Charlotte, NC show and a showcase at SXSW between March 12th and 21st. There will also be a Black Sheep Inn show in Wakefield, QC on March 11th and some Southern Ontario dates on the back end of the tour. Keep your eye on the shows page for all the details. We are excited and a little frightened, all at the same time.

3 -- We recently teamed up with our friends in Muskox to record a reprise of Shanty Song. They played the music and we sang along, with Neil and Misha switching of leads and all the new choir girls cooing. Our friends in Kingston, The Gertrudes and PS I Love You teamed up for a great collab of their own and both songs will be featured on a split 7", to be released in late March. It's a co-release between our own Bruce Trail and the Gertrudes' Apple Crisp Records. It's at the plant now. We'll post more details as we know them.

4 -- We are hard at work preparing songs for record number two. We have been in the midst of a fit of creativity and things are moving along quicker than they ever have. The plan is to record the whole record in May, which will be a feat for us after taking a year and a half to make AMIAM. Stay tuned for more details on this and a few other releases we hope to have out before 2010 comes to a close.

5 -- It's really cold around here lately. Spring, please show yourself soon.

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.
X O BP

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?
