Is Untoasted a word?
Hey everyone. I'm not sure who everyone implies on our website because I don't know who visits,if anyone, but hello to you. I am sitting at my desk at work, indulging in a cup of coffee to wake me up, and a bagel...which was not toasted, but I do not have the energy to walk back across the straight to complain. In fact I don't really care that the bagels not toasted. I have bigger things to worry about than whether or not my bagels temperature was raised slightly and has burn abrasions on it. Fuck it, I'll eat the bagel this way. Enough about the bagel.
Our first hometown show in over 5 months is this Friday. I love playing Toronto. Not only because the shows are always great, but because Toronto is our Hometown. Someone right now is probably saying "Wait you guys are from Cambridge". Fact: No we are not. If were speaking individually then yes, Ryan was born in Cambridge, and Steve moved there from England when he was a kid. The band however formed in Toronto and played our first show ever there, thus giving it the Hometown stamp...besides We've never had a great show in Cambridge, except for the Fall Fair...with Stereos..Sweet times. We've either been heckled or blown the fuse boxes on more than one occasion (7 times in one set)...Thats a quality sound system.
Back to Toronto. This show is going to be our biggest and best Toronto show to date..Atleast we anticipate. Since we put out the video for "Over & Over" we've seemed to have picked up a bit more buzz surronding it. Buzz is good, we'll take it. If you can't make it out on Friday (for only $7)at The HardLuck Bar which you should, then we've just announced our CMW Showcase in March. Details are right over there ---->. Say no more.
P.S. Shoutout to Victory, Sweet Victory! Those guys are too school for cool.

'We are CHASING AMEE and we're here to watch Scott Pilgrim kick your teeth in' Tour 2011.
Yes, thats one long tour name for one short tour, but given that we love Scott Pilgrim (and Michael Cera of course) how could we not name it that. Anyways we are 3 dates into the tour and so far its been incredible.
We started off in Cambridge, ON. A city you've probably never heard of and never will. Fun fact: Ryan was actually born there, and Steve has lived there since he was 6 years old..or maybe it was 9. It's one or the other and I'm too lazy to get up off the couch to get my phone to text Steve to ask him, so we'll settle on 6. Back to the Tour, the show in Cambridge was good, good kids, fun time.
We packed up and trekked to Montreal for the next day and lets just say we were welcomed with fans and snow. The fans were almost as crazy as the snow (in a good way). Crowd went off in Montreal and its been the most fun I've had on stage in a while. We were greated with 2 feet of snow during Load-out which was a nice treat from Montreal. After we braved the blizzard, we braved a real cool bar. One of the cooler bars i've been to in a different city. I wont go into detail, but lets just say the night involved lots of drinks (containing alcohol) and a man with a foot long fake penis. Yep.
The next day was time to head to our capital. Yeeee. Ottawa represent. We got there nice and early so we could explore, and explore we did. We hit up Parliament to have tea with Harper (unfortunately he wasn't in the country let alone the office) , but his Security were real nice...So nice that they escorted us out of the building in this really love things that hold your hands together..Gosh, Mounties are the shit. We played at Cafe Dekcuf, and it was far from a Cafe. The place was amazing. Our first Sold-Out out of town show and it couldn't have been better. Ottawa we love you.
I'm going to keep posting pictures that we take on our 'Hipstamatic' app for the iPhone. If you dont have this app then you are a fool. Go and download it..illegally.
More to come soon
Love
Ryan
