August Shows Cancelled!

PLEASE NOTE: AUGUST 9 & 10 SHOWS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED!

Upon disappearing from Toronto for a week of vacation, I managed to injure my hand. Apparently I'm not as graceful a football player as I thought! My apologies for the lack of shows this month as a result. Not to worry though, I'm already healing, and will be back at it in no time! Keep your eyes out for updates on shows in the near future and enjoy the sunshine.

Recording Again

So I finally was able to get back into the studio again to chip away at the ever-extended road to albumdom ... We laid down a lot of good tracks, though we didn't quite get as much done as we had hoped. I'm aiming to be finished with the recording part of it by the end of May, and to have the preview CDs in production by mid June. It's taken a while with school monopolizing my time and all...
