12"es are 1/2 gone! Official release is Friday. Montreal release show in April!

Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered our new Sunglasses 12" EP. 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.

We actually just got our personal copies a few minutes ago, and most people who pre-ordered should be getting them soon.

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.

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. Do it. We have been talking about touring with them before either of our bands had ever played a single gig so this is really cool.

We have some videos and things that will pop up in the next few weeks. And also a new bandcamp 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.

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.

New single!

We are releasing a new split 7inch with Black Feelings tomorrow night @ Il Motore for Blue Skies Turn Black's 10th Anniversary.

Loft 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.


Here are some videos that I found from the party:
hd but blown sound, spot yourself in the crowd:

bottle breaking, instrument breaking, very drunk vocals:

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.




We should have them at the Blue Skies Anniversary show on Feb 27th @ Il Motore. It is our 7" release party and it's pay what you can/free.

You know what to do! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Wipers `Over The Edge` encore in Ottawa last night.

last night in O-town was so much fun. Holy Cobras ruled. We were fed a really good curry. The turnout was great. The encore is posted above.. the bass was completely destroyed by this point. we drove home immediately following the set and Raf caught a plane to Mexico at 5am.

400 people confirmed to attend the show at the end of the month with The Peelies and Homosexual cops (and 300 maybes). The place holds about 250 max so get there early.

New track from the next 12inch was posted on myspace a few days ago and the pre-order starts any day. The first 100 pre orders get the last copies of the Be Bad + Attack Mode 7inch that Divorce put out in 2006. Check divorcerecords.ca for details.
