Back in the city for a few days all our shows this week are all nice and close by Barrie tommorow night Kitchener Friday Guelph Saturday......we put a few thousand clicks on the van on our last leg which took us to Sudbury Thunderbay and Winnipeg.
I love the road kind of frees up my mind which from time to time is in shackles....im a bit mental i think......so the trip was really good.....one of the major reasons for this was the company we hadn't toured with another band before it was always just us but this time it was us and the The Beautiful Unknown...strength in numbers call it...an extra support system...we have a bunch more dates coming up with them aswell which is excellent they are all good guys and are becoming good friends plus they fucking rock..super tight players and the songwriting is highly inspirational...every day of the tour one us would be humming or singing one thier tunes at any given point of the day.... funny...... cause im actually humming one myself right now.
After Sudburys show at the Townehouse which was alot of fun i think we had a pretty tight little set the crowd was good and thanks to all you who came to support bought cd's and merch and to Life Blown Open (really good local band who kicked of the night). So after the show there was no time for hanging around we packed up and hit the road..drove through the night to Thunderbay there were some funny moments in the van as i was "high school high" and loving it this journey was a long one i think it took us about 15 hours that was with a little stop in a gas staton parking lot in the middle of nowhere where Adam the designated driver fro the night took a break...for how long? nobody knows .............we played at Jacks to a really great crowd lots of folks right up at the stage getting into it ...tbu did as they do and blew some minds as usual.....after the show i went and did some mingling and met some cool people and was given a smooth rock by an native indian women to carry with me for good luck and to ward off evil spirits...i think its one of if not the coolest gifts i have ever been given...thank you! Who cant use a little good luck? We had a wee afterhours party back at our hotel and when i awoke there was an inch of water on the floor of our room (ask Adam)...so need less to say we got out of there as quickly as possible...already leaving later than expected which is pretty typical of us...on the way to the "Peg" i did a phone interview with the good people of freq 107 fm as the road kill tally mounted holyshit people hit alot of deers out there so we arrived in th "Peg" soundchecked ate dinner... a little earlier me and adam left lucky and todd to get us a room we passed a place on the way to the venue a few blocks before so they went to investigate...lucky calls my cell and says yeah were sorted and then goes on to explain how rough our accomodations are"as we walked into the place kev theres a bar attached to the place so as we walked at 8pm we almost get knocked out by a dude who came roaring out of there with a guy in a head lock and preceeded to slam his face into the glass asking if he would like more" hhmmmm "thats great Lucky is that what sold you on the place?" yeah this place was a fucking crack den i think what gave it away was the pay phones in the lobby and the zombie ish looking people with the shakes and hobo clothes on whos attention was immediately given to as we walked in probably in the hopes that we might be there dealers.............so what are you gonna do right the room only cost 40 bucks.......i was under the impression that the room would at least be heated as it was -15 up there but apparently not ......with no time to complain we showered up and got over to the venue to catch tbu's show which was nothing less then specfuckingtacular....this show was sponsored by freq 107 so we met all the dj's and such..what a cool bunch of folks april dave gen to name we chatted and i thanked them for all the play theyve been giving our single (thanks guys) so then it was our turn so we turned it up to 11 and an hour later it was all over we played a pretty good set i think taking some pointers from tbu...when we finished we had an impromtu jam with one of the freqs announcers you had to be there....had another wee party in our hotel room that night in the cold jackets and boots required...as we left in the morning a guy shows up at our door and says i hear youre heats not working.....how ironic
We drove 26 hours straight home that day and night through snowstorms rains moose country smelly feet watched all the vhs videos we had in the van smoke alot of pot and had a lot of good laughs...if this sounds like something u want to do please contact us were looking for a driver the pay is shitty but the adventure is good.
