Just wanted to say that our show this past Friday at Steam Whistle Brewery in T.O. was amazing, and we wanted to express our gratitude to Matt Weed and the rest of the Steam Whistle peeps for making us feel like such huge rock stars. They started with the awesome-ness back in Calgary when we played the Unsigned series there in July, and somehow they were able to top that vomit-filled (in a good way) rock n’ roll show on Friday…fog machines! green rooms! with gourmet sandwiches! light shows! huge projections of ourselves on multiple screens! pay checks that allow us to pay off our visa bills! the list goes on.
You can catch a little run down of the show, and some fancy pics, over at the Torontoist blog. Here! Apparently we “menacingly tore through a set of their bitingly sarcastic, gritty, bluesy rock.” Yes, we do like to think of ourselves as menacing. grrr.
So yeah, if you haven’t already, go buy yourself a delicious Steam Whistle beer. It is made with love by lovely people who support the arts in a genuine, non-whorish way.
We’d also like to say hello to Chris Cornell.
No, not THE Chris Cornell. Just some guy at the show who introduced himself to Isaac in the bathroom, then forced me to hug him later on, then probably hit on half the room after that. All while stating his entire name, ceaselessly.
If you missed Friday…well, you suck. You do have the chance to see us do a little show tomorrow (Tuesday) night, though, at the Bread and Circus. There might not be fog machines or giant projections or hundreds attending, but maybe Chris will show. And then you too can say that you met Chris Cornell.
