We have finished our next record, which is now titled “Death & Taxes”.  We had a great time making it with our producer/God of Rock/BBQ Champion Mr. Mike Fraser.  Mike’s resume includes some of our biggest influences, so It was really a no-brainer to work with him.  We’ll keep you posted on the release date.  In the meantime, head on over to our website and pre-order “Death & Taxes”.  After all, only 2 things are certain in life, why not make getting a copy of this life changing collection of rhythm, hits and timing a third?

ALBUM PRE-ORDER

We had an amazing time at SXSW in Austin, Texas.  Playing as many places as we could, including a big crowd on St. Patrick’s Day.  People danced, beers were consumed, and rock ‘n’ roll was executed.  After we stuffed ourselves to an unhealthy amount of the state’s best BBQ joints, we took flight to the Toronto area.  After some killer shows in Guelph, London and Peterborough, it was time to head to the GTA for our CMW showcases.  We played to packed houses, you guys came out in full force and gave ‘er just as much as we did.  Thanks again for that, and keep in touch for our next visit to Ontario!

The ECMAs are upon us and after a couple of showcases in Moncton, NB we’ll be off to the great white north.  More specifically the Toonik Tyme festival in Iqaluit, NU.  With past headliners like Hey Rosetta! and The Trews, I know I’m excited to get up there, play for some new people, meet the local dogsled team and maybe some ice fishing? Curling?  Maybe there won’t be time for all of that, but it still sounds like a good idea to me!

So I guess I can sign off with, ‘keep your stick on the ice’.?  well, that’s kinda awful maybe..  ‘never eat yellow snow’?  that ain’t so great either.

well, keep in touch anyway!!

NEW ALBUM

We started tracking our new album this week. We arrived at the Sonic Temple and found our engineer/co-producer, Mike Fraser, hanging skull and crossbones flags all over the place.  Mike's an amazing guy, making this recording really fun and he seems to know what he's doing. After all, he did record these bands called AC/DC, Aerosmith and Metallica, and I guess they're alright…

PRE-ORDER

Kidding aside, we are so pumped for this record we're gonna give you guys a chance to have it before she's released! We've got a bunch of great deals that we've put together for you. Head on over to our website to PRE-ORDER your copy now!

SXSW IN AUSTIN, TX

In mid-March we're heading to SXSW (South By Southwest) in Austin, Texas. Looks like this may the first of several trips into the US in 2012!  Following our shows with Flogging Molly in New Jersey and Virginia in the fall we signed on with Val Wolfe with The Agency Group’s Los Angeles office for US bookings.  

HOUSE CONCERT WINNER

Finally, we are happy to announce Eva George as the house contest winner! She's just as pumped as us and I've heard she's already begun preparations: boarding up the windows, padding the walls with blankets and hiding anything breakable.

From the studio,

It’s been a while since our last update. So I figured I’d bring you up to speed with what’s been going down in Stanland…

We had such an amazing time on tour with Flogging Molly. What an incredible band, and just a fantastic group of people. We’re also no longer new-comers to the USA, and we can’t thank the fans enough for welcoming us to open the gigs and some of you even knew our tunes! We really hope to get down there again as soon as possible.

So I’ve become a scholar of clearing the cobwebs outta my head after Nova Scotia Music Week every year, and this year was no different. I definitely wasn’t the only one who woke up on their keys with their boots still on. We won the award for “Best Music Video” for “Ship To Shore”! A big thanks goes out to the director, Aram Kouyoumdjian and the rest of the crew and cast. All the extras who came down and acted like complete pros, and looked like they’ve been doing this kind of thing for years.
