we left halifax around 8pm on thursday nite, in our new van (Bettie White) on what we have officially dubbed "The Angel of Debt Tour." we drove for 15 hours straight, through the night, making it to montreal around 10:30am friday morning.
we had an on-air performance/interview on the Concordia campus radio station - CJLO. We played four songs, Hang Up, Guitar Hero, Way To Ruin Everything, and Godspeed You Deathwolf! - and they sounded pretty good - especially for the radio. The people there were super nice, and extremeley accomodating. They even came out to our show later that nite.
Our show was at a place called Casa del Popolo - right across the street from La Sala Rosa - which is where we played last time we were in town. It's a pretty cool venue owned by one of the guys in Godspeed You Black Emperor. We played with Petunia and the Loons - a band from New Brunswick for whom our buddy Kyle Cunjak plays for. They were pretty cool, they reminded me a lot of O Brother Where Art Though because they were a 3-piece folk/bluegrass/country outfit. Very George Clooney.
The show was well-attended, and we were really happy considering this was only our second time here.
We are staying with our friend Bex who has cooked us massive waffles with fruit and ice cream(!!!!!). We have the day off today. It's gorgeous out so there's talk of some frisbee playing, but hopefully I'm going to be spending the day with Karley. I'll call her after breakfast.
Yum.
