bump for a good show.

for those of us not going to cali to take part in the classic festivities....what better way to drown our sorrows than cheap draft beer & good music in an east van bar.

come on out and have some fun!!!!

on a related note...

the new album is officially out and should be available at your favourite record store (big or small).....

and one of their new songs is also in a sun-rype commercial on tv....stop/start animation of a person lacing up their sneakers and going for a run....the chorus is "it's so dark but i can see the light"......

watch out for it!!!
