First off, thank you to all the bands we played with and everyone who showed up to our show in Calgary last weekend. Comrad Sound is one the best venues in Alberta and we can not wait until we can play there again. Awesome show! I'll post some pictures when i spot them floating around.
With summer just around the corner, i thought i'd fill everyone in on our plans for this year. (all additional and available show information can be found on our myspace)

-Sled Island Fest | "Cope & St.Gilles" collaboration performance. We are extremely excited to announce that we will be playing the All Ages portion of this years Sled Island festival in Calgary!

St. Gilles, we had to take it. Additional information is still coming to us and you can be sure it will be posted here promptly when we get it.
-Cross Canada Tour W/ Goose | This summer, we will be embarking on another tour, this one bringing us farther east than before to Toronto and Montreal. Dates are still being scheduled, but as it stands these are the dates:

Being as most of these shows are still in the works, details are not set and could be changed. Regardless, we have a fun summer ahead of us and hope everyone comes out to have some fun themselves! As for the "Cope & St.Gilles" record, mixing is almost done and then we'll see if we can give everyone a taste of what we've been up to. The plan is to have this thing out in time for the summer tour with any luck.
That's it for now.
