Hello there again, Fantastic Friends! Summer is upon us, and I think we can all agree that this is generally a good thing. It means that it is time for all the iced drinks, swim-wear at all times, real life tans, tons of friends and of course, SUMMER FESTIVALS! As you may already know, friends, we have long returned from our spring tour that took place from the months of March to late May, and as we are absolutely sad to be off the road for awhile… I mean nothing can really compare to the constant travel, the flow of amazing gigs across the country, the incredible music provided by excellent bands and artists and most of all, being stuffed in a van yet again with your best friends… BUT, >> read more

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.

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

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
