Day 2- Tarptard

Dryden, Ontario sucks. In an attempt to find a place to sleep we pulled into the local walmart parking lot to crash for a few hours. Taylor apparently can't sleep sitting up so he decided to lay out a tarp in the ditch beside the highway. Before Taylor could even hit the pillow, the local fuzz were on us. Friggin Taylor!! Haha it was so sketchy looking. Of course the cop told us to get lost...and recommended we sleep in a rest stop a few clicks up the highway. So off we went....

...only to get pulled over by another local officer. He asked me a bunch of questions about the van like "what's with the cages in the windows". We explained that his comrade had already talked to us, to which he replied " oh you're those tarp guys!!". We're already famous in this town!

So that cop told us to drive 3 clicks and park in the rest stop...good advice. So now we're sleeping on the sudd if a dark ass highway 3 kilometers outside of my least favorite town ever waiting for pleatherface to come kill us. Touring rules!!!!

Haha I wish I had photos but I think that may have landed me a night in Dryden prison.

(in fairness to Taylor, I think we were being watched from the moment we rolled into town. Creepy vans attract attention.)

I'm watching burn after reading on my iPod. Life is good.

Free Show!

Free Show at Avonmore on Saturday. Come out.

The rest of the band will hate me for posting this, but whatever, this band is amazing.

We're leaving for tour soon and I'm terrified and excited.

Goodbye Show

Tour is almost upon us, and we have 2 really rad shows in Alberta before we leave.

June 20th, Goodbye Show @Avonmore Hall
High Jinks
Snic
Gift Eaters
Good Things
Maus

This will likely be a lot of these bands last Edmonton shows for a while as members are moving away for extended periods of time. (Laughton to Vancouver, Cecil to California, etc etc). This show is totally free and guaranteed to be a good time.

June 25th Sled Island @ Tubby Dog (Calgary)
We're playing with a bunch of cool lo fi punk/indie bands including The Neckbeards, Friendo and Nu Sensae. Show starts at 8PM and we're up first. I'm working on some screen printed posters that will be available at the show and if we have some left, on tour.

Check out the Maus recordings too! Band rules.
