Charlottetown

After kicking off the tour in true Haligonian style at the Tribeca Bistro and Bar in Halifax on on a ragged Wednesday night, we cleaned out ol' Bettie White (our van) and hit the road to Charlottetown.

Our first show was a house show at some guy's house on Prince Street. We loaded into the apartment and started setting up our massive set up of gear. We took up half the living room. Ha. There were probably about 20 people there, and we played a really good set. House shows are always fun.

After that show, we loaded out and drove about a block away to Baba's Lounge where we loaded in for our second show of the night. Baba's is smaller than the bar we usually play at in Charlottetown (Hunter's Ale House) but it has a better sound system. We were lucky enough to play with perhaps the best band in Charlottetown, and one of my favorite bands around here, Smothered In Hugs. There wasn't a super huge crowd, but some of our good friends like Jessi and Sarah came - two people we haven't seen in a while - and Jen, an old friend from high school, even stopped by so that was cool.

Our set at the house show was probably better than the Baba's set, though it sounded better at Baba's, but watching Smothered in Hugs made the night worth while. Their songs are absolutely fantastic.

We've been shooting some video with our new camera, so hopefully we'll be able to throw some stuff up online within the next few days.

Next stop: Fredericton (I hear there are floods!!!!)
