speaking of tour times...

and while we put the final touches on the fall tour, here's a video from our spring tour, shot in the kitchen of our friend Paterson's house.

Summer scheming is almost over...which means it's almost tour time again

After a pretty lazy, distracted summer, we're back at it again. We played a great fun show at Walker's a couple weeks ago with our pals The Playing Cards, Shuyler Jansen and A Gentle Forest, then last weekend did a sweet summer show down by the river bank with most of our favorite Saskatoon bands and now it's almost time to announce the details of our fall plans. We'll be touring out to the Halifax Pop Explosion (Oct. 20 - 24), so we will get to revisit a couple places we stopped this spring, as well as hitting a bunch of town we missed and finally getting to play the east coast!

It should be a good time, we've got some sweet shows almost all set up that we will hopefully be announcing in the next week or two.

In the meantime, go check out the new demos posted on Jeanette Stewarts page (http://www.myspace.com/jeanettestewart), a few of us have been backing her and we're in the process or recording an album....
