“A bad day on the course is better than a good day in the office is what I always say.” – Dan Ball, golfing for the first time ever So this last week the “I’d rather be on tour” tour with The Harbour Sound came to an end, and much too early we might add. Thursday night was the final night of the rather short island tour, in which we were graced with the presence of our old friend Liam Glaim (formerly of The Perfect Trend) performing solo and our pal Lindsey Blane, who snapped some pretty killer shots of the event. It was a quiet, rainy night at The Cambie in Nanaimo, but had an amazing time playing for our friends and fans who came out on a Thursday >> read more

Dan: “I would love it if Morgan Freeman told me a bed-time story. His voice is perfect.” Tyson: “There’s something about his laugh, too. I love it.

It is more than an addiction this time around. We have been averaging about 3-4 hours of sleep, and the occasional narcoleptic lapse in the van. But, you know, that’s just how she goes when you’re straight giggin’r and working on the road for months on end. Fresh pots are hard to come by, but you take what you can get, fresh pot or not. Fresh pots. This past week, we had the distinct pleasure of opening for an inspiring band from Vancouver called “Limblifter.” The show was at Venue, >> read more
