The rental van has been returned. The
shower has ran. Dinner has been cooked. The laundry has been cleaned
and the groceries have been paid for and jammed into the fridge. I've
contracted some sort of touring van virus and can't go five minutes
without gargling hot salty water or blasting snot from my nose. I'm
back at work and trying desperately to run profit margins on
polyethelene sheets without blacking out.
I believe this means that we've had a
good tour.
She was a quickie, just five gigs in
five days spread across 4,000 beautiful kilometres of western
Canadia. I played a lot of power chords and ate a lot of Egg
McMuffins and shook a lot of hands and laughed my ass off for what
feels like 120 straight hours.
Massive thanks to everyone involved in
making the tour and the shows the best they could possibly be. The
promoters (Sloan, Tyson, Kyle and Randy), the venues + staff (Pats
Pub, Distortion, Mercury Room, The Legion, Munnin's Post), the bands
(Assimilation,Omnisight, Martial Law, Hazzerd, Eye of Horus, WMD,
Unleash The Archers, Displaced and Arkenfire) and all the friends,
new and old who came, saw, and had their faces rocked off. Special
thanks to all those who let us crash on their floors, fed us and gave
us booze. Much love and respect.
The future is looking great. Our next
move is to put the finishing touches on our debut LP, then burn
Armstrong Metalfest to the ground.
Talk soon.
