The weekend was fun. We played in a barn Friday night. Beside a donkey. Sam sprawled out all Burt Reynold’s-like on the roof of his car. He also stepped on a nail. I jumped over a fire. And through fireworks. Thanks to Kaitlyn and Alex and everyone else for putting it all together. Last night we paid a loud and fond farewell to ol’ 20 Primose. The house that housed many a late-night...
So looks like we’re not on the Cuff the Duke bill anymore. But we’re ok with that due to the new bill we’re on. We’ll let you know as soon as details are finalized. ps. 500 Days of Summer was 500 Days of Mediocre.
We’re opening for the Wooden Sky in a couple hours. Venue has 50 person capacity. It’s a babillion degrees in Ottawa today. I am going to sweat on 50 people tonight.
Solid hangs last night. We worked out our set for our little deal with the Wooden Sky tomorrow (Monday) at Canteen (in Ottawa! Dalhousie/Guigues! Exclamation mark!). Six songs of sparse goodness. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Alex and Sam jetted back to the West End whilst Joel and I watched some How I Met Your Mother and were joined by Jordan (Paramedics) and Joey (Property Line) and a...

So, the Rural Alberta Re-Cap.

Then we got a little sweaty and tried out some new stuff and, from what I gather, did pretty ok. Thanks for paying attention and inching a bit closer. Always fun...
Thanks for coming, Mel. That drag was unbelievably necessary.
My hair resembles that of a peacock. I’ve spent the last two hours roaming around my girlfriend’s apartment with my guitar and roughing about with the songs for tonight. I might have wrote something new, we’ll see if the boys thing it’s too standard. D, Em, G, D. Simplicity. Drinking tallboys of Tuborg (MY pre-show ritual) and eating leftover nonsense. Really excited to...
Our set’s tighter than a 12 year old for Thursday. Playing with the Rural Alberta Advantage. Should be more than alright. Get a little bit of time off before playing with our new pals the Wooden Sky on Monday the 17th. Looks like we’ll be playing a Starbucks the following Friday. Odd. And then Friday night we’ll be recording something special. That will be for sale. YOU can buy...
