I fell asleep with a huge grin on my face last night. It could have been that I was a bit tipsy from the novelty of a cash bar on board a ferry, or it could have been that I was just entirely giddy about the Darjeeling Limited style bunk that I was occupying for the 7 hour crossing from North Sydney, NS to Port aux Basques, NL. Either way, it’s our first time in (on?) the province of Newfoundland, and we couldn’t be happier. The accents are already thick and juicy, and the screetch awaits us with open arms (or so I hear). Driving from the ferry terminal to Corner Brook felt like we were on another planet – that is until the snow showed up. It’s funny how a thin blanket of snow can take the most unfamiliar place and make it feel just like home.
Since our maritime debut, we’ve visited and played shows in Fredericton, St. George and Hampton, NB, Charlottetown, PEI and Halifax, NS. Everyone here on the East coast has treated us like family and we’ve been enjoying every minute of our time here. Tonight we play in Corner Brook, and tomorrow we head to St. John’s for our furthest show away from home to date. Wish us luck…

Peep it!

Dear everyone,
Welcome to our new website. Incidentally, this website is being born on the same day as our brand new album, “Islands Disappear”. So lets get right to it… We’ve had a great first day, and our album reached #5 on the album chart on iTunes! Huzzah! Thank you all so much for your support, you’re wonderful. What a great day this has been. Now please pardon the seemingly scatterbrained nature of this first blog post – I’m writing from a Super 8 hotel room in Guelph, ON, at 4am, typing as quietly as possible so as not to wake the 6 sleeping stowaways I’m sharing this room with. Front desk thinks there’s only 4 of us. Jokes on them, right? Well, off to the filthy carpeted floor for a good night’s rest. I got the spot next to the mini fridge, and it will softly hum in my right ear until I drift off… Jokes definitely on them…
