Ottawa (Wakefield)

Family & friends took over the Black Sheep Inn last night & really made it feel like a homecoming. Everyone played a great last show & Paul from the Black Sheep had it sounding gorgeous. After a big breakfast at the folks place, we’re on the train heading east. Homeward bound!

Waterloo

Trepid house was good fun. Hosts Jeff & Owen have a sweet pad that is worth checking out. There’s an aquarium between the live room and the control room, an arboretum that you get to through a trap door, and a sweet pirate room with 3 thrones.

Vancouver at Le Mirage

Le Mirage was magical. Ian & Stef went all out to make a cozy little camp down by the Vancouver railway tracks. Everyone who came to the show was a sport. I didn’t hear one grumble and think that makes all the difference. It could have not happened or been crappy, but it the show [...]

Vancouver

Alrighty.  Here are the details for Sunday’s show from our awesome host Ian Beaty: “This Sunday October 25th Down at the Bus Munich Brauhaus tradition meets Quebec, birthplace of our 1981 Passenger Coach, Le Mirage. It’s the first annual L’Octoberage feat: 3 Live Acts from Nova Scotia (2pm – 4pm) Handmade in East Van Culinary [...]

Tofino & Kelowna

Whew!  Our biggest trek of this tour is past us.  After an unnexpected rock n roll show in Tofino and a quick sleep, (Thanks for the use of your apartment Danielle!) we hit the road.  We drove through some pretty crazy mountain roads before the sun was even up, caught the ferry to Vancouver, stopped [...]

Victoria

Arrived in Vancouver on the train, rented a car, then took the ferry to Vancouver island. Currently looking for other modes of transport to try today. Really hoping we find a pedway somewhere. Tonight we play Dab Gallery in Victoria. It’s an early show; the doors open at 7pm. 602 Esquimalt Road. I think we’ve [...]

The Rockies!

Wow. We spent the day taking in the Rockies on the train. It was stunning, postcard views on all sides. As the sun went down we played a set to a wonderfully appreciative room full of travelers. After a big ole supper, we played again, this time in a romantically lit car with the train [...]

Calgary

We’ve arrived in bustling Calgary and after a BBQ at our gracious host Cory’s place, we’ll be heading to Local 522 for a show with Jay Crocker. Doors are at 8:30. Should be fun!

Winnipeg

Just arrived in Winnipeg. The fresh air is nice in our lungs. We’re going to play some tunes in the train station at 10:00am then we’re back on the train at noon. Tata for now Winnipeg train staff.

Guelph and back to Hamilton

Cornerstone was packed! Lots of beer and lemon ginger tea was consumed. Tonight we’ve decided to head back to Hamilton for a show at the Casbah. Need more Hamilton!
