Sorry, haven't updated in a while, been in Kamloops at the KIBIHT getting our butts kicked for a week.
Our CD release party was awesome. 200+ kids, 125 CD's sold, was absolutely crazy. There was even people dressed like us complete with pink ties! Was a really good time.
Kamloops was pretty cool to, got just completely hammered at some place called Rivers, was a... Read More

Holy shit, what a night. It was raining so hard on the way home from my hockey game that even with my windshield wipers on full, I still could barely see. It was crazy rain, coming down at almost a 45 degree angle. My hockey game was fun though, my team spent more than half the game killing penalties, but still one 7-0.
What a week. first the SNFU show, then we find out that the BedlamSociety.com wants to present our CD release show on April 3. Then, our little Island jaunt gets cancelled due to venue problems. Crazy, all the highs and lows of being a musician again.
Also, we updated our site a little, new snazzy flash intro:

RobRetread...i love you sooo much...you are my bestest friend...we shared a stage together and rocked out so hard...together we are like peter pan and wendy lady...you being wendy lady of course...kiss kiss...lushious
It was kind of a quick desision to leave and I dont think any of us wanted to wander back into the abyss of the cobalt for fear of getting lost! It was good to meet you though...and awesome show!
Man, what a night! Thanks to the so beautiful Siobhan for the sweet tarts! that was amazing, almost as amazing as she is! And almost as beautiful as she is to, cause she is one damn amazing women! So much fun, met a few SG people at my bands gig with SNFU tonight, it was so awesome.
Great White!!
they were/are that cheezy hair metal band at whose gig last year, alot of people died when the bands cheap pyro show caught the ceiling on fire. the club was way too overpacked and, bang. tragedy.
i still had a rad time tho. when are you guys playing next?
Radio interview was fun, Billy Hopeless is a crazy guy, pretty awesome! Tonights the night, The Retreads, SNFU and the Rebel Spell at the Cobalt 917 Main Street Vancouver. If any of you come, say hi!
If anyone in the Vancouver area cares, my band is doing an interview on 99.3 CFOX's punkorama show on Thursday night at 11. Should be good times, not big on mainstream radio, but hey, it's a punk show and any exposure is good exposure. If you're not in the area, you can also listen online from their site:

hey, i heard the new ep and it sounds great! but i dont think that in order to achieve this you had to be so mean to your one guitarist during the recording. hes really upset over this. so upset in fact that he got drunk and made out with some random girl in the cobalt bathroom!!
I've never felt like I've been cheated so much as I do right now. I know, boring hockey, but I'm choked. My team(bantam aged 13-14) worked so hard all year to be in the position to go to a provincial final and then to have that taken away from them by a ref. I'm not one to complain about ref's after the fact, if you... Read More
