We left Halifax shortly after 6:00pm on Wednesday evening and headed to New Brunswick. Instead of pending the night in Fredericton like we usually do, we slept at Pineau's aunt's place in Oromocto.
Up early on Thursday morning, we bolted to Montreal making it in pretty decent time. We went straight to the Concordia radio station called CJLO where we did an interview on air and they played two tracks off our EP as well as two unmixed unmastered tracks from our new LP (which by the by, can be found on our MySpace. Got to see some old pals like Omar and Brian and got to take in the Concordia campus left. Felt a little weird considering yesterday was supposed to be my first day of school, but alas...I am on the road for another week.
The bar we played at in Montreal was called The Barfly. It was a little hole in the wall place on St. Laurent with two tables, two high tables and one pool table. It's weird, we seem to be regressing in our Montreal shows. The first time we were here we played at la Sala Rosa which is HUGE, then we played at Casa del Popolo which was smaller, but still pretty big, and then we get to this place. It was a weird feeling. We had fun though. We played with weird "hip hop" act called Ancient Rhymes and Omar's EXTREMELY loud band called Superheater. I'm glad we have soo many friends in Montreal. Val, Karley, Erin, Tim, Anne, Tory, Jen etc etc all came out to see us. There's nothing better than being in a "strange" place and seeing familiar faces. also, if not for them, we might have played to 12 people.
Today we head to Toronto for a show at The Boat. This is our first weekend show in Toronto ever, and the film festival is going on as well as V-Fest so there will be tons of people in town. Will they come to our show? We'll see I guess.
