...We'll just stay inside, and play Donkey Kong

I did an interview with Taylor of Just Say No! records. Here it is, enjoy!

We have two new songs written for the 12" collab with St. Gilles. We are incredibly excited about these new songs and hope you will be too when we play them in November with Black Ships. More info on that as soon as possible.

Final mixing on the Ep is in progress. It will be available soon.... hopefully.

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the very noisy live tracks we did on our radio interview for cjsr.

i feel its a more accurate representation of what we sound like...not that our recordings dont represent what we sound like..... but they just dont have that loud feel to them.. these are almost too loud.... also, its not that i'm trying to represent... i know people can get hurt or even killed should they feel the need to prove themselves or "reprazent" in situations.........just download these.

or better yet come to a show.

Totally, Total, Totally

This is what has/is happening in the Cope camp of doom and despair.

On Tuesday September 16th, we will be doing an on air performance and interview on the radio show "Bringin' It Down" on CJSR radio. If you want to hear us make humongous asses of ourselves, you can tune in at 88.5 FM or online at http://www.cjsr.com.

On Friday October 31st, we are very excited to be playing the xtruex Halloween show! The entire show will consist of bands covering other bands. For example, we will be donning the grimm robes of Sunn O))). More info and a complete bands list will be made available soon.

We are currently in the works of putting together a weekend tour with our friends in Gift Eaters. More on that soon.

The ep... is almost done. We had to take a break from mixing due to tour and people being out of town, but we're back at it and hopefully it will be done soon.

That's it for now.

That's it.

What's in the box?!?

This video was filmed on our home turf in Edmonton before we headed out on our Western Canadian dates. It was shot by Lindsay from rotbottyrot(check 'em out here if you haven't), and gives a pretty accurate middle ground of what the rest of tour shaped up to be.
Nothing was broken on account of this show taking place in Kevin's basement, and that's our excuse.

Home

We've been home from tour for about a week now, just relaxing and getting our shit back together.

Tour was great! We had a fantastic time. We would like to thank everyone who helped us out in anyway by putting on shows, letting us sleep on their floor, came to the shows, or just hung out and talked. Thank you very much.

Ceremony unfortunately did not make across the border, so the show that we were suppose to play in Calgary tonight was cancelled. Hopefully, we will get another chance to play Calgary before the end of the year.

We are very excited and pleased to announce that we have been signed to Just Say No! Records! They will be putting out our collaboration with St. Gilles. As far as this project is going, we have starting the initial writing process and will be hopefully recording by the end of the year.

We are playing a show this Friday with Mind Control from Winnipeg. Here is the poster.

That's it.

From the road

Hey everyone,

So far tour has been awesome! Thank you to everyone who came out to our shows in Saskatoon, Regina, and Calgary. Right now, we are on our way to Vancouver to play and hang out. I'm using a cell phone to post this, so it's really frustrating and I'll post more shit when I have actual internet access.

Other than that, we got invited to play with Ceremony in Calgary on August 12th and we are more than excited to be playing this show. I'll post more info as soon as I have some to post.

Kev has been working on a extensive tour journal, so when we get back, I'll transcribe the whole thing so you can read all about our misadventures and understand our stupid inside jokes.

That's it.

What is this? The bro pride march '08? - "Yep, we're all getting raped"

This will probably be the last post for awhile, as we are leaving for our summer tour with Hominid on Thursday! Check out this awesome poster that Mr. Andrew Benson designed for us.

Also, be sure to come check us out tomorrow night in St. Albert with Shipwreck! Check out the poster i posted a couple of posts down for the low down.

We have a 3 song demo available! We're only making a limited amount of these, and they are only being sold at the Shipwreck show tomorrow and on our tour with Hominid. Get one while you can! $5!

That's it for now. I am both excited and terrified for tour.

Take care,

-Durell
