It was a record that a grew up listening to a lot when I first got a record player in Junior High or High School. Grand Trine have been covering it and playing it live lately so we thought we would quickly record a version ourselves and post it. The singer of the band would go on to form The Haunted who you might know from The Pebbles comps or The Gruesomes cover etc. <a href="http://myspace.com/grandtrinemtl">Enjoy</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815255030315232093.post-15755773581802097132010-03-25T13:49:00.000-07:002010-03-25T13:53:47.108-07:001st review of the EP - Montreal MirrorRaf gets riffed.

Between all the people, record stores, distros who picked it up we have only 275 copies remaining from the original press of 600. This is great because the official release isn't even til Friday. We are always working on a special release show in MTL for April 16th which we have a few reserved copies saved for.<br /><br />We actually just got our personal copies a few minutes ago, and most people who pre-ordered should be getting them soon.<br /><br />We had another bloody one last week and released our split single 7" with Black Feelings. Not exactly sure how it can be purchased online yet or if it is in any stores. We'll have a few kicking around. <br /><br />In other news, we are going on tour! Weirdcanada.com is doing a traveling WYRD fest (pronounced Weird fest) so we are headed out to Calgary, Edmonton and Lethbridge at the start of May. We will play some shows a long the way. Super excited because Cosmetics are playing all the shows. If you haven't picked up their new 7inch on Captured Tracks.<a href="http://capturedtracks.com/"> Do it. </a> We have been talking about touring with them before either of our bands had ever played a single gig so this is really cool. <br /><br />We have some videos and things that will pop up in the next few weeks. And also a new <a href="http://grandtrine.bandcamp.com/">bandcamp</a> page. Hopefully band camp de-thrones myspace. It is the same thing but without ads. The Peelies convinced us of it's worth. They are usually a step ahead. That's why we have a blogspot and they have a tumblr. This is possibly the lamest thing I have ever typed. <br /><br />Uh, what else... we are remixing a Homosexual Cops song and it sounds exactly like New Order. Probably our finest work. I have had nothing to do with it so far. But I like the results.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815255030315232093.post-64435594626737866002010-02-25T14:01:00.000-08:002010-02-25T14:02:52.392-08:00New single!We are releasing a new split 7inch with Black Feelings tomorrow night @ Il Motore for Blue Skies Turn Black's 10th Anniversary.<br /><br />BLACK FEELINGS<br />GRAND TRINE<br />ULTRATHIN<br />HOMOCOPS<br />SPECIAL NOISE<br /><br />P.W.Y.CUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815255030315232093.post-60239760939878830202010-02-20T15:50:00.001-08:002010-02-20T15:50:55.452-08:00Cat Massage<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TnZhi5gaX8g&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TnZhi5gaX8g&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815255030315232093.post-28808409526078888652010-02-08T20:14:00.000-08:002010-02-08T20:32:48.134-08:00Loft party aftermath..Haven't really been able to move or anything since the loft party a few weeks ago. Huge success. We had to shut the doors after the first 300 people showed up and everyone locked inside was beyond wasted. I don't usually drink before we play but at some point I remember smashing a bottle and slashing my chest repeatedly til I was covered in blood. I guess nerds who like Iggy Pop shouldn't get drunk before playing sets - this will not be a common occurrence. The whole night was great. An explosive Homocops set as usual. And they did some now legendary things in the VIP room which I won't get into. The Peelies were great too. They insisted all the members of all the bands shotgun coldshots before they started and they had a homemade grand trine teeshirt and junk. Definitely one of the most fun new bands in Montreal. Apparently while we played people were rushing to merch table covered in blood asking where the nearest hospital was. The whole night was insane. We'll definitely throw another party sometime in the next few months with another secret location.<br /><br /><br />Here are some videos that I found from the party:<br />hd but blown sound, spot yourself in the crowd:<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vc33fOrEDZU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vc33fOrEDZU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />bottle breaking, instrument breaking, very drunk vocals: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sJmg2hHKhxQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sJmg2hHKhxQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Z Fairbrother and Emily and I silk-screened some toxic vomit colored poster and shirts for the show as mentos (the gig poster was also blown up to 18ft if anyone noticed it hanging from the ceiling). We have a few left if anyone wants to buy the leftovers. Each one is different. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i47.tinypic.com/2m7adtu.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; " src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2m7adtu.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i49.tinypic.com/msg4ra.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; " src="http://i49.tinypic.com/msg4ra.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />We should have them at the Blue Skies Anniversary show on Feb 27th @ Il Motore.

Looks like we will have the 12" and 7" out at the same time. We ended up re-mixing the CKUT sessions ourselves and added in some jamming we were doing at 4am at Rafs place. I had to work the next morning but it was fun. The results of our re-mixed CKUT session are a way way far out version of R.F.I.D. We are slowly just assembling what we need to D.I.Ourselves (again) and I am excited to get back to home recording. We are just going try to deck out the HQ in 2010.<br /><br />We are throwing a huge party on January 29th. Originally it was going to be the album release (delayed) but we figure we don't need an excuse to throw a party. Location: Torn Curtain Loft Bands: Grand Trine, The Peelies, The Homosexual Cops Djs: Annie Q & Emily B. B: BYOB. More details coming soon.<br /><br />I just heard the master of the Black Feelings/Grand Trine split 7". Sounds great. Color vinyl. MP3 download code included. 500 copies. Silkscreened artwork. Should be neat.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815255030315232093.post-51088222280331149332009-12-04T15:24:00.000-08:002009-12-05T06:03:48.665-08:00Interview with Tobias Rochman on Weird Canda<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://weirdcanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Canada_Map-black-horizontal.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 140px;" src="http://weirdcanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Canada_Map-black-horizontal.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://weirdcanada.com/2009/12/interview-tobias-rochman-from-montreals-grand-trine/">http://weirdcanada.com/2009/12/interview-tobias-rochman-from-montreals-grand-trine/</a><br /><br />It's no secret that Weird Canada is one of my favorite websites around. Definitely the best new blog of 2009. It has all the keys for success: content, simplicity and focus. Zach interviewed me and originally when we did the interview it was going to be for his blog <a href="http://avantlard.blogspot.com/">Avant-Lard</a> (also good), but after he pitched it to Weird Canada and they were into posting it. I am in ultra windbag ramble mode and my brain is picked clean. <br /><br />**<br /><br />We are heading back into the studio this weekend to record tracks for our split 7" with Black Feelings (will be released at Il Motore with Red Rockets Glare Feb 26th). We are going to record some extra tracks and maybe they will be released if someone wants to commit them to wax in the new year. <br /><br />Pre-orders for the 12" go up next week and we'll post a new track and get rid of the old ones and all that jazz. <br /><br />Also "Monochromatic Youth" is going to be used in a trailer for a post-apocalyptic love story that was shot in Halifax. I'll post that if I see it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815255030315232093.post-47923714241161609302009-11-27T09:29:00.001-08:002009-11-27T09:33:47.725-08:00WFMU free mix<a href="http://freemusicarchive.org/file/images/users/doncbruital_-_20091026165810661.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 265px;" src="http://freemusicarchive.org/file/images/users/doncbruital_-_20091026165810661.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />http://freemusicarchive.org/member/doncbruital/blog/Err_North<br /><br />The brutal doncbruital (pictured above) over at the fma/wmfu put tracks by us, The Pink Noise, Ultra Thin, Panopticon Eyelids together in a free mix.

It has been a long week after our artwork for the 12" was rejected by the label (that is why it has disappeared from the internet). I guess it was too offensive and they were worried about the fact it was a collage. Oh well. We also recorded an extra new song to be included on the 12" so maybe the delays have been a positive thing. <br /><br />In February we are going to be releasing a split 7" with Black Feelings on Blue Skies Turn Black. They are doing a 1-off release for the label because it is the 10th anniversary. But they are not re-starting the label. It is just sort of a special/fun thing to do. The release show will be at Sala was reunited bands from BSTB's past.<br /><br />And it <i>looks like</i> we are headed to Austin, TX in March for SXSW.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815255030315232093.post-24673510651297660112009-11-16T18:10:00.001-08:002009-11-18T01:56:44.919-08:00The Jesus Lizard show = Awesome.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinOPJJK-86_d0qWD7L4GO_NiFN_3H32VinJKU-8Hqpr_OBKBtKO8A2giapM-Xnm02CuW7wcF7F9HjyXpQDMmiKtXSPrifddxxmU7gblfJY2Y85aG28Osu1nChTqyVU8vstEOOlkToWkz9Q/s1600/raf-jesusliz.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinOPJJK-86_d0qWD7L4GO_NiFN_3H32VinJKU-8Hqpr_OBKBtKO8A2giapM-Xnm02CuW7wcF7F9HjyXpQDMmiKtXSPrifddxxmU7gblfJY2Y85aG28Osu1nChTqyVU8vstEOOlkToWkz9Q/s400/raf-jesusliz.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404889456675323154" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipLqzx2F4y1aZzIt7BusXnS3ZG1gRumzFA4xUwPEoJ4SZo5SvWzZ2lRK8mz6r3QEXUyGYjjfPtWYhMHM2874_ZyrZRwMj4pJAENVn7Zy5uky8jwGYcoDd4nMQecQ0frQAJoN2MuEMe8dOB/s1600/cabral-jesusliz.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipLqzx2F4y1aZzIt7BusXnS3ZG1gRumzFA4xUwPEoJ4SZo5SvWzZ2lRK8mz6r3QEXUyGYjjfPtWYhMHM2874_ZyrZRwMj4pJAENVn7Zy5uky8jwGYcoDd4nMQecQ0frQAJoN2MuEMe8dOB/s400/cabral-jesusliz.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404889458354591490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfSRXL8QJq9l9vB7DWBJkrpKkC8XSm6yH9ZLsde7JumEBdwxLVMfUkDzQYf_5n9BXxW3IzQwibZaUvRBpdzVSxO5nLUHu-d4_xv4g7TG7Bya4NXnk5rdSuZ_ImKncDEA18amASLv4i4zD8/s1600/tobias-jesusliz.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfSRXL8QJq9l9vB7DWBJkrpKkC8XSm6yH9ZLsde7JumEBdwxLVMfUkDzQYf_5n9BXxW3IzQwibZaUvRBpdzVSxO5nLUHu-d4_xv4g7TG7Bya4NXnk5rdSuZ_ImKncDEA18amASLv4i4zD8/s400/tobias-jesusliz.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404889455187130034" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGRfaZWuE35NBt-kQaiXp6dcIRFjLNXPpd8rzfsQkeEOMnCadNLYJRHpQ1SJL9o_ND8nK8uMtfhVkYuyujwmBmkMEIky3EjZK8mBcACRGwrb74sij1Oy6DeoGV_0f3hDtLfDQRB0IBdZni/s1600/shub-jesusliz.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGRfaZWuE35NBt-kQaiXp6dcIRFjLNXPpd8rzfsQkeEOMnCadNLYJRHpQ1SJL9o_ND8nK8uMtfhVkYuyujwmBmkMEIky3EjZK8mBcACRGwrb74sij1Oy6DeoGV_0f3hDtLfDQRB0IBdZni/s400/shub-jesusliz.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404889451343024594" /></a><br />I can't even begin to describe how much fun this show was! I am still trying to take it all in. They are the greatest band and the nicest guys in the world. We took lots of video, and filmed some of their set from the side of the stage which I will post in the next few days. The whole night was perfect. No complaints at all! Just totally unforgettable and fun. The crowd was great. The venue was great. The sound was great. The Jesus Lizard were great. David Yow kept calling our band "Grand Treen" but we couldn't even correct him because we were just happy he was talking to us at all. Ha. They basically turned our dressing room into their smoking room. And we gave them cigarettes in exchange for beer. This was basically the best show of all time.<br /><br />Photos by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bubbabrown/sets/72157622810740312/">Susan Moss</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815255030315232093.post-63744045172374595142009-11-03T14:28:00.000-08:002009-11-03T22:06:16.460-08:00THE JESUS LIZARD + GRAND TRINE FRIDAY NOV 13TH<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimARA9v7ZqvLWmYQtMJDOLfeENoy7ogmCiF0YJqoRBzdmhM5DScV8QCokfrpLVE6OpXKhmPr339H8u9KUON5PCKKJxcuneoAEgapgamG2kvStS4hiF02-0FjQ11EnVn4FsfnYwFrlvO2mg/s1600-h/JesusLizard_web367(2).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimARA9v7ZqvLWmYQtMJDOLfeENoy7ogmCiF0YJqoRBzdmhM5DScV8QCokfrpLVE6OpXKhmPr339H8u9KUON5PCKKJxcuneoAEgapgamG2kvStS4hiF02-0FjQ11EnVn4FsfnYwFrlvO2mg/s400/JesusLizard_web367(2).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400008123893406818" /></a><br /><br />tickets are $25.

They were in rare form both nights. <br /><br />Here are videos of all 4 songs that will be on our upcoming 12" e.p.:<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ckddm0t7T98&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_profilepage&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ckddm0t7T98&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_profilepage&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> It stops filming at the "fake ending" which is funny.

These last two and the Dead Wife vid were shot by Matt Elliot. The rest were from Derrick Hiltz of ECT. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Weekend Recap:</span> Dead Wife are the best. We love touring with them. When we got to Halifax the club owner wouldn't except Shub's 2 valid I.Ds so he took him out back to check his Facebook account before letting him stay to play the gig. I broke Raf's bass which I was borrowing during the very 1st song. The pick guard shattered. Which hopefully isn't too expensive to replace. Then during the last song we played our borrowed bass amp exploded (sorry Derrick!) and the guitar amp blew ( it works again!). <br /><br />Day 2= Hangovers. A house party with w/ Dead Wife, Meat Curtains, ECT, Fuck Montreal (again this is the band's name - they hate our homeland). During the set we were silly stringed, the lights broke, I got hit so hard in the face with the mic that my eye turned red and blue and started pussing, eventually it got so violent that all of our stuff got knocked over and disconnected between every two riffs. We literally had to stop 6 times. We decided to try a really laid back Ronettes style song that we had never played live and only jammed once to chill people out. It turned out well and I just laid down and we jammed it forever as payback for all the violence. After the set the cops came by with nobody left in the place and no loud music they decided to turn their venom on us instead. I guess someone from the party had left a beer can on the roof of our van and they made Raf (who was completely sober) lay on the curb and touch his toes and say the alphabet backwards, follow a pen etc etc. They forced all of the band members from both bands to stay in the car. That was just the rush we needed to get the fuck out of Halifax. And we hit the road back to Montreal at 1am and drove all night.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815255030315232093.post-67503602945155691842009-10-23T14:40:00.000-07:002009-10-25T19:59:19.558-07:00Secret show tonight!I am sitting in the eyelevel gallery in Halifax getting ready to watch the Torso/Aiden Baker show.
