Canadian Veins 2013
A good rock tour is short, sweet and to the point. It’s always been a belief, that even the shortest tours can accomplish big things. They inspire strong friendships and create allies to cover ground together and explore uncharted territory. What at first is a plan between business-savvy musician-folk meant to correlate mutual fans and industry for benefit, to collaborate and create success, becomes a musical endeavor in which, fans, friends and tour-mates alike will never forget the emotion and effort put into giving it your all every single night, whether extensive or brief. Toronto pop-punk band Thunderhawks combined with Pennsylvania’s Kingsfoil gave us just that opportunity to experience, a solid moment in time. The tour began in Montreal at Quai des Brumes, a quaint little bar off a main >> read more

Next Time on The Amazing Race: PEI to Quebec City
There are few things as beautiful as the bridge to Prince Edward Island. This is something we found out recently. We came. We saw. Dan didn’t quite get red dirt in his eyes, which apparently is an expression from around these parts that he made up, but we played a great gig at the renowned Hunter’s Ale House for a stunning crowd of locals who made us feel right at home even though we were almost at the furthest point from it. The boys in The Town Heroes and Coyote made sure we had an excellent time while in Charlottetown by A) providing homemade lasagna and wine, hours of the finest quality of East coast Youtube sensations and lodgings, B) A solid gig at an awesome venue where the “Acres >> read more

Halifax… we hardly knew ye…
Driving into Nova Scotia was a good moment… we felt like explorers in uncharted territory, trying to find an appropriate name and failing, to greedily claim it for ourselves as if it had never had feet set upon it… the silly games we play. We have been to Halifax in previous years for gigs by plane, with just our guitars and our foreign soil stuck to our shoes, but never like this. Never with the van and our entire life in the backseat. It was a good feeling. We raced through a rainstorm of mist from Moncton to get to work on time, and Hey! Whaddya know!? We were successful in doing so! We would just like to thank the fine individuals at Live 105 Loud in Halifax for having >> read more

Maritime adventure!
Guys, finally, after all these years, we managed to take our tour our to the East Coast! It was a long trek from Thunder Bay to Saint Andrews New Brunswick, with a couple stops in Sudbury and Quebec City, but the van held up and did an outstanding job with the 20 hour drive and as always, she got us right where we needed to be, and much earlier than expected, leaving us a good amount of time to explore the rainy streets, warm pubs and the seaside at low tide in the quaint little town of Saint Andrews next to the Bay of Fundy. According to the locals, this wasn’t the ideal time to be playing monster gigs around these parts, but it was a solid night of tunes >> read more

Saskatoon, Junofest and a quick night in Thunder Bay!
Our trek continues with the longest drives you’ve ever seen and a steady diet of black coffee and Tim Horton’s everything bagels as we move this “what we thought was spring but feels more like winter” tour into Ontario! In a recap of the past week, we saw Saskatoon again for the first time in a long time! We actually had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some good friends, our boys in Fisticuffs and 2012 Peak Performance Project Winner, our homie Jordan Klassen! A band from Whitehorse called Old Time Machine opened the show at Vangeli’s Tavern… and as far as we’re concerned, they could have played all night long and we really wouldn’t have minded… make sure to go give them a spin on whatever music tech >> read more
