"LOW-RENT NICKELBACK" COMPLETE TRANS-CANADIAN TOUR

here are a couple new vids for some of the jams on our new album. more coming promptly...

so anyway, we just completed our "big" canadian tour with baby eagle and the proud mothers and it was a blast! good times. thanks to everyone who came out and rocked out and fell over and sang along and cried and sprayed us with beer or champagne or "natural champagne". just kidding. being sprayed with stuff kind of sucks, but i understand and appreciate the spirit behind it. i don't wanna get all ian mackaye about everything.
just sitting here at home listening to the milli vanilli "girl you know it's true" 12" single i picked up in toronto and thinking back over the last couple weeks. it's all such a blur, seems like forever ago that we played that first show in victoria on a quiet tuesday night back in mid-october. all the shows were good in their own way, some were busier than others, but at every one of them the people were there to PARTY (props to the joy road crew for representing and rocking the house at the otherwise zombie-fied kelowna show!). i have made no secret of my overall dislike of touring in the past (and present and future), but it was awesome to see so many stoked people in so many places after not playing there in such a long time. and then there's toronto. for whatever reason, people go completely bonkers at our shows in toronto. it's actually pretty hilarious. very flattering, really. but seriously, we're just an emo band, we're not fucking black flag. ha! looking up and seeing some dude completely upside down and some girl literally flying through the air while geysers of beer erupt in my face and bottles smash against the ceiling is pretty surreal (and actually kind of terrifying). as long as everyone is having a good time and nobody gets hurt it's all good to me. again, i don't wanna get all ian mackaye, i just want the front of our shows to be as inclusive as possible, know what i'm saying? anyway, toronto gets the gold ribbon for rocking the hardest as always. so what's next? who knows? nothing? we shall see...
for now, i gotta get back to dancing around in my sweat pants to this dope-ass kashif record i scored in a bargain bin. more on that to come shortly...
p.s. sorry to any and all ladyhawk fans in the states, we just straight-up ain't coming down there. nothing personal.
