Tales from the Road
++++++++++++++++++++

We just got back from a road trip to the island and want to send out
a special thanks to the staff at 106.9 The WOLFE for giving us such
a great welcome. For those of you in the Naniamo area, keep your
radio tuned to the WOLFE to hear a special acoustic performance and
our latest single "Early Morning".

We'd also like to thank BUKEY for coming all the way out from Maple
Ridge to keep "relations" up with our "older" audience members out
in Naniamo. And a sorry goes out to the boys in Machine Gun Kelly
who had to share a room with him - better luck getting some sleep
next time.

And if it wasn't for Jay fixing our truck in the Ferry line-up on
the way over we might not have made it at all - so thank-you Jay
Mission Scum ;-) I guess we owe you a bottle of crown or something
for that?



Album Updates
++++++++++++++

The mixing is finally complete! 2 weeks of late nights, ear
bleeding, knob tweaking, and constant bickering have produced one of
the greatest albums (we think) of all time. The next stage is to
begin mastering which we hope to start once our spring tour is
over. So far we're on track for our Aug. release date. We'll keep
ya posted as we move forward.


That's it for now folks! Hope to see you soon - oh and by the way
did I mention we're playing with NOISE THERAPY!

Later,
