waterloo (again) & more photos

sunday, we also spent the day kicking around waterloo. we all had to take some time to re-coup from joe's fun-filled party the night before, so we just lounged around and we were eventually able to download the episodes of Big Brother we had missed (pinky, matt and I are all hooked!).

we actually did have a show to play in waterloo on sunday night, but before that, we made huge pizzas with joe and his parents:












after dinner, we went about five minutes down the street to play a house show at the Trepid House where we always have a good time. All six of us crammed into the stage area in the living room where we played a 40-minute set to a really receptive groups of people, which included, but was not limited to, some of our new friends and some of our old friends from the party at joe's the night before. we played with a band from Montreal called Ghetto Pony and an amazing band from Hamilton called Tell The Divers. it was a really eclectic show. the cops even showed up (after our set) with a noise complaint. woo hoo rock n roll!

after the show we came back to joe's and watched Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back before we all hit the hay.



then monday comes. monday was an "official" day off as we had no shows. we did, however, have a radio interview on the University of Waterloo radio station, CKMS on a show called The Culture Vulture with our new friend Cole.

It was a pretty relaxed show, she played about four tracks from our EP, and we tried to get some new tracks off an mp3 player, but we couldn't figure it out. she basically let us DJ her whole show, and she got us each to pick a song and talk about it etc. it was a lot of fun. pineau picked a kittens song, pinky picked a radio free vestibule song, aaron picked a b'elle song, andrew picked a new yeah yeah yeahs song, matt picked a burdocks song, and i picked a contrived song. again, lots of fun.

so much to choose from:



this is cole, our wonderful host:

radio, radio:





after the radio interview, we hit up downtown waterloo and went to the music store and record store. i bought nothing.

as always, joe is a good time:



my friend kerri came over later in the evening, and we hung out by ourself upstairs for a while. she brought her guitar, and i played a couple of my new songs for her, she also did the same for me. just like old times. the boys spent the rest of the evening just lounging around, playing pool and prince of persia.



today, we head to hamilton for one of our two last shows. we have no shows on wednesday or thursday, so we're kind of screwed as we have no way of making any more money until friday, and not really anywhere to stay. after all the good times, now comes the shitty part about touring....
