I write this the night before we hit the road for our first show on our MOUNTAIN TOUR.  Tomorrow we drive to Revelstoke.  It’s 7 hours, give or take, depending on the roads and how many stops we make.  The next day we drive back to Vancouver.  Seems a little odd, but here in British Columbia it’s not out of the ordinary to drive almost 600 kilometers to play a show!  We have lots of shows coming up and some of them with even LONGER drives but it’s worth it to make some new friends and new memories.  Here’s a full list of dates and places we will be in the next month.

01/27/12 – Revelstoke, BC – Powder Springs
02/03/12 – Jasper, AB – Whistle Stop Pub
02/04/12 – Canmore, AB – The Canmore Hotel
02/08/12 – Kelowna, BC – Habitat w/ Fields Of Green
02/09/12 – Nelson, BC – The Royal on Baker St w/ Daniel Sky
02/10/12 – Fernie, BC – The Northern
02/11/12 – Harrison, BC – Layback Lounge
02/17/12 – Victoria, BC – Canoe Brew Pub w/ Maurice opening
02/22/12 – Vancouver, BC – The Biltmore Cabaret opening for Maurice
02/25/12 – Whistler, BC – The G.L.C. w/ The Matinee

We just released this video today of us playing one of our favorite cover tunes.  It’s “Your Protector” by Fleet Foxes and we recorded it live at Blue Light Studio for FREE!  Thanks again for having us guys.  Enjoy!  ~RB

They offered all the top 20 bands to come in and record a song and we are taking full advantage.  A HUGE thanks to Blue Light for having us and to Kaj for doing more than just twisting the knobs and pushing the buttons.  Also, congrats to our good friend Milton who recently became a father and thanks for coming by and shooting some video for us. HIGH FIVES all around!  I posted a sneak peak of the new song on our Facebook page if you want to check it out.  Enjoy!

So, we played at the Biltmore Cabaret this past wednesday night to an enthusiastic crowd of drunks, drag queens and hipsters and the like… ;)  By all accounts it was a good night.  Read the full review of the evening at scene in the dark DOT com (Jennie Orton takes a dig at my top hat.. and i’ve been getting so many compliments on it lately!)

We have 3 more shows remaining in 2011.  The first of which is our Christmas Party this weekend (Sunday) at Falconettis with Wake! Owl and friends.  Free cover and all ages. Totally chill. Let’s have a drink together. After that we are back at the Vancouver Christmas Market from 430 to 630 for a festive acoustic set on Dec 22.  Lastly we are ringing in the NEW YEAR at The Cellar on DEC 30 with Jack Mercer and Bodhi Jones.  So stoked!

Happy Holidays!

Last friday we completed our final Peak Performance Project reports and then we drove up to Kelowna to play Pop Okanagan.  I can’t tell you how amazing it was to leave my computer at home and enjoy a music filled weekend.  How refreshing!

Just this morning the Peak Performance Project Top 20 released the songs that all the bands wrote inspired by Vancouver 125.  You can listen/download them all for free HERE.  Ours is “Song for My City” and is inspired by Jeremy’s parents leaving Vancouver in the 70′s.  Ironically, he moved back as an adult and ended up writing a song about it.

We have an super chill acoustic show this thursday night at the Kings Head in Kits. Come out for a pint and some tunes around 9pm till midnight.
