It really is awesome to have the fans we do....we really didnt expect to have people come down to the edge studios to see us play but sure enough you guys were there...it really makes us feel what we are doing is worthwhile most of you came to both shows that night too fucking good!.....in short thank you so much!

and

just wanted to talk to you all about whats is and what has been going and what will be going on....so.....first of we just came back off a little tour with a band called "The Marble Index" which was a lot of fun theyre pretty cool dudes and write some great songs that seem to stick in your head forever (thats what happened to us "figure it out" .....) were actually heading up to Ottawa to play with them on the 26th of this month being April..cool.

Video

So we shot the video for "calling all cars" about ...well almost 5 weeks ago..so where is it? Thats what weve been saying almost everyday to our management..the stock answer was that oh they are tweaking it to perfection...ok? You know you can tweak something to perfection ones whole life but who wants to do that?...anyhow so the latest answer is that the editor in charge of cutting wasnt fulfilling the directors vision so they have asked someone else to cut it....fuck sakes! the old editor the guy they let go was a friend of mine too i dont think they know that anyhow it seems a bit of a mess and im not sure the director knows what he wants himself...i hope im wrong cause hes a cool dude but i must admit im a bit scared and on top of that i do know what i want being the fact that i wrote the song and know more of the feel/look that should be employed(you know what i mean)..yes i am ranting a bit im sorry i just feel that unfortunately im not being heard on this one....so give it a week or two and we shall see what we have lets keep our fingers crossed

Band

Since Todd parted the band due to being a Daddy we were delighted to find probably the most brilliant drummers in the city if not the country...i cant tell you how many shows weve played with him where fans and fellow musicians alike are in awe of him...oh yeah his name is Paul Barry and we are really excited to have him join us he along with precussion duties is a great arranger with a great ear for melody, highly creative and with him on our team we feel theres no stopping us..yay!
About the time Todd left we decided that the bass player who was with us at the time Since Chris's Departure due to babydom wasn't quite working out for whatever reasons these things are hard to explain all we can say about this matter is is that he wasnt the right guy for us albeit a top bass player and great guy in general. Sooo i went out on a limb and called an old friend who played bass with the now defunct band "Shaker" his name is John Dolinar and after just a few practices we all new he was our guy...he brings probably the best attitude to rehearsals everyday and his outlook on life his humor and work ethic and of course his skill as a player and performer made our decision simple.
Now that the band is rounded out and everbodys full and undivided attention is focused on writing great songs and giving great performances everytime we play and striving to blow each previous show out of the water we get ready to embark on a tour to the u.k. which from all accounts (yeah youve probably heard all this before) is going to happen in July.

fuck yeah!
