We're Not Always Useless

So yesterday we took to Jason O'Young's straight edge fortress to record our songs for the upcoming split with Hinindar. After some mild confusion and a box of Dad's Oatmeal cookies everything was set to go and we started around noon expecting to hopefully track drums and a guitar or two for the 4 tracks.

Basically everyone flew through their parts as we've been practicing nothing but these four songs for the past month and the recording was finished and has come out better than I think anyone of us could ever have imagined. There some little fuck ups throughout that will probably drive me crazy in 2 months but if it was super tight it wouldn't be punk so fuck that shit. Also for noting purposes, Steve has the most punk voice ever. You wouldn't think something so precious could deliver that kind of sound.

Highlights of Recording:
-Jason O'Young

-Nick sleeping through EVERYTHING
-Slurpees
-Actually getting it done
-Grape Lady song apparently

Coming Clean

Alright so we have got a replacement for Mike on bass and it's the young stallion on top here, Jason Whitney:

We ran through the upcoming EP today and he should be set to record with us this coming weekend. Hopefully we'll have some new songs to upload in early February followed soon after by the full digital download of the split.

We've got two upcoming shows still. See the flyer a few posts down for the show on the 31st which will be an amazing time so be sure to be there. Then February 13th in London with Orphan Choir, Blurt etc.

If you book anywhere in Ontario and by some sweet stroke of luck are reading this and desire to book us let me know. We're down for anything. Basements, garages, arenas, wherever.

Welcome to 2009, Pussies.

Our short time bass player Mike Rajna will be celebrating his last show with us tomorrow at the Schwaben Club. He's got a real future at school and shit so he had to leave. Sometimes when you love something you just have to set it free... or some shit like that. Regardless we'll miss him and his coffee addiction. So come to the show tomorrow and bid him a grand farewell!

We've got a bunch of shit lined up in the future. Shows on the 31st in Kitchener at the Sweatlodge (see flyer below) and on February 13th we play London with Orphan Choir, Blurt, Tie Breaker and The Decay. That's a pretty amazing line up so people of London I hope to see you there.

We're also doing some recording on the 24th and 25th of January for an upcoming split with Hinindar, Touch The Sky. We've got 2 brand new songs plus we made two of his real shitty. He's got some rad new material and is going to do his best to make some of our songs decent. I have no idea when we'll release it, if I gave a date we'd just be liars because nothing is ever done on time. You've read this shit 10000 times now if you even occasionally glance at this.

So you're pretty much up to date now. Come enjoy some of the shows in 2009
