Festival Summer!!!

After a quiet winter spent finishing our new album, we've got a series of festival shows booked over the next while, before starting some more extensive touring in the fall.  First up is Saskatoon's MoSoFest, before we head to Calgary for Sled Island, then in late July we'll be playing Bengough's Gateway Festival.

Lots more exciting stuff in the works that will be annouced soon, but in the meantime, here are a couple videos of new songs from JunoFest in Regina in April.

 

It's the end of a great year, so we're playing a home town show to finish things off in style.  It'll be us, Moonbahn (Ben Dobni of Feral Children/Zombifyus and our touring band on our May UK tour) and DJ SOSO, alongside a host of things our drummer Ryan has planned. 

We sincerely hope this show doesn't co-incide with the end of the world as we've been hard at work on a new album and are incredibly excited with what we have so far.  We are working with some wonderful people and we are confident it is some of the best work we've done.  We can't wait to share it with everything sometime in 2013. 

Thanks to Reeperbahn Festival and Incubate Festival everyone who came out to our shows in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany.  It was so great to play to such appreciative crowds.  We really hope we can make it back next year.

For the next few months we will keep a pretty low profile, while we finish work on a new album.  In the mean time you can preview a couple live versions of songs that will be featured on the new album.

And as a bonus, check this great video of Tyson performing an improvised set alongside a couple members of Mogwai and a host of European bands as part of legendary Can vocalist, Damo Suzuki's band at Incubate festival in Tilburg, the Netherlands

Europe-bound

Yes! Yes! Yes! We are headed to mainland Europe for the first time very soon.  We'll be playing shows at Hamburg, Germany's Reeperbahn Festival as well as Tilburg, Netherlands Incubate Festival.  Both festivals look to have incredible lineups and we are incredibly honored to get to be a part of them.  While we are in Europe we'll be playing a series of shows around the festivals.  We will be in Europe from Sept. 13-27 and still have some open dates, that we'd love to fill, so please do get in touch if you have space on a bill or an open venue....
