If it starts playing "have you ever seen the rain" just as it starts to rain, i'm going to cry

Punch is fucking awesome! There is no way around it. They put on a fantastic show in Edmonton and Calgary this past weekend and we are so thankful to have been able to play those shows with them.

Our first out of town trip and show as a band was fantastic. We packed the van with the help of our friends in Hominid (who also played punch weekend), and St. Gilles himself. It was a good opportunity to see how things would work on tour. Needless to say, we will be uncomfortable, but it will all be worth it.

And, as always, it wouldn't be a Cope trip (previous times it was when Kevin and myself toured with Punch Out! and Leave it Behind) unless there was some really fucked up weather. And sure enough, we got bombarded with heavy rain and hail just as we were leaving Calgary.

Here are some great photos taken by Bryan Kulba from the Edmonton Punch show.

More can be seen at Byran's flickr or our myspace.

Take care,
