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,

Hey guys,

We finally have a video posted from our show with ANS and High Jinks, and for those who weren't there, it was FUCKING awesome!

You can swing over to our youtube and check it out:

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,

Shipwreck!

We just got added to a show with Shipwreck on Tuesday July 22nd! On top of that, it's in St. Albert, and there hasn't been a good show here in a very long time, which means attendance is mandatory.
Here is the poster.

Take care,

That xenu is a galactic asshole

First off, a huge thank you to Rotbottyrot (for Eddie Shorts as well), Thrashtic Fibrosis, High Jinks, ANS for coming all the way to Edmonton from Texas, and Ryan from Hominid for putting on the show, which took place this past Sunday. If you missed it, well fuck, you missed a great show.

There are photos that were taken at the show by our friend Travis Logan, and a video of our set. Once i have said photos and video, i will post them here.

As far as recording goes, the actual recording is done, now its just the mixing that needs to be complete. Everything is sounding awesome so far!

This weekend, we and our friends in hominid, get to play with San Francisco's Punch in Edmonton and Calgary. The almighty Gift Eaters and always rad BYK have also been added to the Edmonton Show! Check them out!

End Transmission,
