Our Flying Burrito Brothers

Last night, we got to say farewell to one of Edmonton's best bands, Gift Eaters. This band was truly one of a kind and i will miss them. On that same note, Red Hot Daggers kicked the bucket that very night. Though we didn't get to play with them as often as Gift Eaters, they will be missed as well.

Here are some posters for our upcoming tour and shows. There is information regarding the tour in the post below. Come wreck some shit!

Coming this fall on fox: "Dog Dad"

Ok, so two things to ramble on about.

First, our friends in Maus have put some songs up from their upcoming demo. This band absolutely kills it. Hear for yourself here and then go see them at this show. The show is absolutely free and a bunch of great local Edmonton bands are breaking up after this show. Definitely worth your while and the price is right.

Second, we're playing a show with Begrime Exemious and Hominid on June 19th. Here is the poster. This show is going to be ridiculously heavy. Come check it out!



That is all for now.

Matt IS the tetris master

So, i've been really lazy with updating this thing.

Last night, we played a show with Goose that most of the bands dropped off, but it was so much fun. A room with good people, two bands facing each other taking turns playing, it was a blast. The result of this Cope/Goose show is a Goose/Cope 7" split to be released on xTRUEx eventually. We're still working on the collab, but i'm sure we can get two or so songs together to make this happen. So, look out for that and look out for the Goose demo, which to my understanding is near complete. Those dudes are way too good!

Nate at xTRUEx has informed us that the test press versions of the 10" are to be expected within the week (hopefully). So, expect those to be available by mid to end of June.

Not really related to Cope, but i've been jamming with a new doom band called Cygnus featuring Derek (Begrime Exemious) and Gary Orthner (Hominid). People who like doom metal as the likes of Goatsnake, Electric Wizard, and St. Vitus would probably really dig this. Its loud and its groovy. Hopefully Cygnus will be able to play some shows by the end of June, beginning of July. I'll post updates about that band on here too.

That's all i can really think of right now.

I Need More Magic In My Life

First off, i just wanted to say that i'm listening to Soundtrack to the Personal Revolution by Burnt by the Sun. Holy fuck, listen to this album if you haven't before! That aside, here is what we have been up to.

Writing for the collaboration 10" is complete. All we have to do is get the new songs down to the point of being able to play them comfortably enough to record and play live. Maybe there will be a new song added to the set for Ghost Throats, we'll see. The new songs are much faster and technical than the ep, but still heavy. The way i see it, the ep songs are the first ones we wrote as a band. Hell, some of the songs were even written when Orphy was playing drums. Throughout that writing process of the ep, we were still figuring out what we sounded like and what each member can bring to the table. Now that the ep is out and the 10" is on the way, and we've been playing those songs for a year now, i think its fair to say we have a pretty good idea of what we want to do other than trying to figure out what we want to do through trial and error song writing. Coming into the writing of the collab was refreshing and the shit we managed to write, i am genuinely excited about and even more excited to be able to play the songs live. So, i guess thats my little insight on new material that could very well be played as soon as our shows in May.

So with records and cd's and all that shit, we thought it'd be a good idea to get some shirts made. We've had a couple friends make some really good designs and now we just have to pick what we would like to use. So, as soon as i know what design(s) we're going to use, i'll post it on here.

The booking of tour continues to continue. I just posted all the dates we plan on playing on our myspace, and i'll post them here as well. If you or anyone you know can help us out with a show in any of these cities, please contact me via the Cope myspace or at burnceciliburn@hotmail.com.
