The Jesus Lizard show = Awesome.

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.

We just found out we are opening for The Jesus Lizard @ Le National Novemember 13th! Amazing. More news and details soon!

Flicks from the most recent trip.

1st here is a great video of Dead Wife from the secret show we played together in the Murder House basement. They were in rare form both nights.

Here are videos of all 4 songs that will be on our upcoming 12" e.p.:
It stops filming at the "fake ending" which is funny. But this is one of our newer songs.

..ripping down the HPX sponsorship banner during the middle of song.
A quick one of Walter from Dead Wife hitting the lights out which remained that way for the rest of the set.
And just a couple of seconds of this one too. These last two and the Dead Wife vid were shot by Matt Elliot. The rest were from Derrick Hiltz of ECT.


Weekend Recap: 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!).

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.

Secret show tonight!

I am sitting in the eyelevel gallery in Halifax getting ready to watch the Torso/Aiden Baker show. We are playing a house party on Cornwallis St (murder house) tonight.

GRAND TRINE
DEAD WIFE
ECT
MEAT CURTAINS
FUCK MONTREAL (this is the band's name)

PAY WHAT YOU CAN! Starts at 9 sharp!

Last night was pretty wild.

You don't have to be weird to be wired.

.."when the going get weird, the weird turn pro".


the AXEMEN reissues have been blowin' our minds
<-this is one of the only band reunions that I'd be really into seeing!

Our record is being mastered right now and I am just finishing up the artwork for it. After this trip to Halifax next week we may lay low. Write a new set. And then have a big release show in January. Shub & Raf are doing a set as Back Stabbathh (Black Sabbath covers) for Halloween which I will post about. Brian Mitchell from Black Feelings as Ozzy.

Shots from the entire festival. I went to a dinner party last night where this flickr slideshow was hooked up to a large television as soft music played in the background.
