We were a weary bunch this morning. As a matter of fact, by the time the cleaner insisted he needed access to the band house (I’m not even going to talk about band houses, by the way, cause I would just go on and on, but suffice it to say I am an endorser of […]

Most of our earnest ensemble drove from Vancouver to Boise yesterday. I had some business to take care of back at the homestead so I flew into BOI this morning. But I’ve done the drive plenty of times, so I can easily tell you how it was: awesome!

First off, apologies for not giving you a daily account of the home stretch of the Montana tour. It wasn’t for lack of interesting things to report. If anything, the opposite was the problem. But still, no excuses. We do mean to give you a daily update from the road. And we do, most of […]

Dragging our butts to get on the road at the right time today, but the good news is this is the last time this tour we have to leave before check out. Spending the next week in Montana. The shows are always fun, the parties go late, and the departure times are never […]

We were supposed to be playing tonight with a group from Montreal called Plants & Animals. They’re a really cool three-piece that’s starting to get a lot of buzz so we were excited to hear them. There was some confusion about who would be playing first, and we didn’t really care either way, but we […]

We used to come to Banff pretty regular-like, but it more or less fell off the tour schedule the last few years. Been touring the general region less, to start with, and when we have hit this area it’s mainly been Canmore (about 15 miles down the road). On top of that, the last few […]
