Gigs and gigs and gigs and gigs…

Friday Oct. 30th – Big Al’s on 17th ave, opening for our friends in Sacred Alley.

Friday Nov. 20th – Blind Beggar Pub.

That is all.

Gig past and more in the works

First, thanks to all y’all who made the trip out Saturday night. Nods & thanks to the crew at the Beggar as always for the hosting, Acronycal (the boys from Edmonton who headlined), all our friends and family, and the boys from Krank who came down to check us out (they’ll be playing at Beggar on Saturday Oct 17th).

Second, We’ve got a couple possible shows in the works for October. We’ll keep you posted once we have things all 100% locked down.

The Beggar the bettar?

Saturday night around 9pm until midnight on September 5th, We know what you’ll be doing…

Getting stinko and bouncing out with the GB boys at the Blind Beggar that’s what you’ll be doing!

And the world beats along…

Just chiming in to let you know we’re still alive and kicking. We’ve been deep in the lab since our last gig, creating, crafting and laughing manically. Seriously we’ve got a pile of new music that’s currently in the works, at various stages of nearly finished. Not to mention the onslaught of stuff that is still in it’s “infancy”. Our next gig we will most likely have 2 or 3 new tunes for you fine kiddies to enjoy.

Update about important stuff that will in no way affect your life thus making it not all that important!

Remember this post?

“In case you cared…”

Probably as it’s one down from this one. Well it seems our efforts are all for not. The radio station Fuel has changed formats mid contest and ceased to be, thus ending the contest. They’re some kind of “All Hits” station now, which means we probably won’t be played there anytime soon (We’re just a shocked as you!).

GB live at Dickens July 16th

We’ll hit the stage about 9 or 10 ish. Come-on Down! Remember Dicken’s Pub Thursday, July 16th.

Our show at the Beggar last week with Scorched Banditos was cool as all get out. Thanks to all the friends family and random fans who came out. The Banditos for a kick ass set and the Beggar crew as always for hosting!

Thanks to 3 West TV.ca for streaming the show live across the inter-tubes-net-dot-webber… anyways you can check out the show > HERE < there’s a brief interview at the end of the set if any one is interested. If you’re not, don’t worry you’re not really missing anything cool or shockingly intelegent. We don’t cure the common cold or give the formula for turning lead into gold or anything like that.

In case you cared…

Fuel 90.3 Calgary is running an indipendant music contest and we’ve entered. One of the entry requirements was a video submittal that showed the band playing.

So we thought (and it hurt).

We all know how to play (with instruments).

So we made a few phone calls (on telephones).

Got a camera (go Newtons!).

Found a couple of camera ladies (Sammy! and Nat!).

Picked a song, we’ve got like 30 and counting (Yay West Bound Canadiana).

Played (the shit out of it!).

Recorded the audio and video on our super-audiotastic-megalo-steriophonic-Mac-o-power-record-o-tron (in our sexy orange secret basement jam studio of doom, sex and power).

We then strapped our drummer and a monkey (because all good things need a monkey) to the super-audiotastic-megalo-steriophonic-Mac-o-power-record-o-tron until they massaged it all into a supreme indie master work (go Sean and the monkey!).

and now we have…

News you can use?

Our gig at the Underground on Saturday the 9th was fun if nothing else. The Warehouse basement be a hard mistress to fill. The folks who were in attendance seemed to enjoy themselves, thanks for the support :)

And for anyone who knows of a little site called Garageband.com we have one of our songs (Page 73) up there that has received quite a few accolades.

One down and another few up.

Friday night at the Blind Beggar was fan-freaking-tastic. Good times had by band, bar staff & the happy drinking masses.

Coming up we have a few Irons in the fire, but so far the firm and confirmed are thus;

June 20th, 2009 – Blind Beggar

July 10th, 2009 – R&N camping mini fest – All weekend & by invitation only

Fade to White

Fuck Metallica in their funny ears! Sorry, the colour change has nothing to do with the afore noted band or the song of which the title mocks. It’s been 2 years under the oppressive might of the Octobrainy blackness, so we thought time for a change and here it is like it or lump it. Same great G.B. flavour, now new and improved with 87.235% less dark.

Oh and don’t forget APRIL 24TH we be funkin’ with our friends at the Beggar… BE THERE!
