So It Begins!

May 10, 2008

In response to the world disasters like Burma and Chili, the rapidly spreading diseases in China, the countless wars that plague this planet, the corrupt environmentally destructive corporations that are raping the planet with no intentions of ever withdrawing(facking assholes i tell you), cel phones in Cuba, the worship of lame celebrities, and overall shittiness of the inhabitants of Earth, we shamefully announce our existence of our Facebook page, and Facebook group.  Is this truly the end? What does this mean?  What is the point on going on anymore?  (more…)

Touring Is Fun! Eating Shitty Food Isn’t So Much.

April 15, 2008

Well it was short but really fun. Lots of beer and burritos. Want to shout out to some of the wicked bands we got to play with, of course The Flatliners, The Knockarounds, On The Brink, The Hycoprits, Cambridge, Fraser, Resist The Right, The Unwanted, Poser Disposer, Wed Night Heroes, The Vicious Cycles and all the rest of you I can’t remember due to damaged brain cells. See you all very soon or not.

Western Kanadian Tour w/ The Flatliners

April 4, 2008

So besides not having any sort of vehicle to travel in yet, we are all geared for this tour. I have a feeling the five of us will never have felt so close to one another. I apologize that we are not playing a few cities and that not all the shows are all ages. But im sure we will attempt very soon to play a basement near you. So grab your kid brother or sister, fake ID if needed and and come see us at a show. Help us remember why Kanada is so fricken cool and why we love driving across it with non heated vehicles.

Weekend Of House Shows In Vancouver

March 30, 2008

So I managed to leave my domicile for a couple of house shows this weekend.  Only because they were in walking distance of the drive, and I knew the people who threw the shows, so secrets could be trusted. Pays to know people, or  I pay people to like me, I can’t remember how it goes..  All in all and what not, both shows were really fun, beer helps the anti-socialite it seems. The Hypocrits from Van whom we will be playing with next week or so at the art gallery/sweatshop on Monday and War Hero from Squamish, BC, I admittedly enjoyed.  Have I used the words refreshing ever before?  The environments did make it worth while, angst and conversation, with a pleasant soundtrack.  I do miss good house shows. Hopefully these spots will last the summer.  Hopefully we can play one of these houses this summer.

Care of CUPE:

Rumour has it we might be in your town soon.

February 29, 2008

So our accountant was crunching some numbers and it turns out that we have way to much money.  He advises that spending it on gas is the way to go if we really wanna help out the environment. So we are gonna drive to Winnipeg and back, obviously playing a few shows on the way.  I really wanna do this tour by hang glider but my band mates are scared of heights, so I guess we will be doing this trip in a van.  More info soon as we get it.  See you soon, people that live between Victoria and Winnipeg that is.

Speaking of police brutality…

February 11, 2008

I know there is no shortage of material like this on the internets but this story really made me sick.  A woman in Ohio is suing the Stark County police after they violently strip searched her and left naked in a cell for six hours, after she called them for help.  The link is here, don’t watch the video on a full stomach. 

Feb 29th only happens once every four years!

Come Join Us!

January 29, 2008

Welcome to our new website, I guess you could call it version 4.0. or something.  As I started to fall into hate with the interweb, Erin  found some time to finally conjure up her vision that she has been talking about for some time now.  So we are stoked.  This new website is now something that we can update on a regular basis and I am hoping it will help us participate in the attempt to avoid myspace.  It’s not going to ever be a flashy and fancy website with animation, and fading pages or whatever MTV bands are doing these days.  It’s going to be more about content. Obviously about us, but also content on what’s going on around us. I don’t know, it should be good until our interests wear off, probably by summer I ‘m guessing.  So for everything you need to know and more that isn’t on crapspace (for you to compare and tell how cool this really is) browse, listen, read, watch, or even subscribe. This site will always be under construction. It is a make work program.

Why can’t the police learn to play nice? :(

Attention!!!  In case you haven’t already heard, Cops Kill! 267 cop-related deaths in B.C. over past 15 years is from an article printed in our local rag of a newspaper, The Province (known here as mostly tabloid).  When I did the math I discovered that this is 267 too many people to be killed by these gangsters.  I understand that there are statistics suggesting that a percentage of these deaths are natural or suicide, but being a fan of conspiracy I choose not to believe these stats.  So please read and tell your friends and family to be careful of these dangerous people we call Police.   

note my favorite quote from Vancouver police Const. Tim Fanning… “53 deaths in 15 years” related to Vancouver police actions may seem like a lot, but he pointed out: “Our crime rate is comparable to Miami’s — we have a massive crime rate.” I laugh.  Mostly at Tim Fannings striking resemblance to Tom Cruise.
