  • Nothing Like Good Friends

    I’m feeling a bit under the weather tonight so I’m taking a pass on DeeDee Starr’s birthday show at Green Auto.

    Nothing like good friends to get you through the tough times, like all my film crew pals in this shot from our last show there. You guys know who you are…

    Sayyad’s doom outfit Hushed is also playing!

  • Chad Price Peace Coalition with SLIP~ons/Uptights/dannyboy

    Not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited about this one. Chad is playing a handful of dates in the Pacific Northwest, and we’ve gotta pretty cool lineup to support him and his new outfit on April 9th at Lanalou’s.

    Thanks to John Burwood for the fab drawing of Trump in a hockey sweater.

  • Dead Bars/Boss Martians/SLIP~ons

    This one was a really great time. My hat is off to those stalwarts who managed to pull off double duty and catch sets at the Dead End Drive In show at Green Auto and still make it to Lana’s in time for Dead Bars!

    There’s some photos from Dave Ballantyne on the gallery page, and Allan MacInnis blogged about the evening on his Alienated in Vancouver site, in case you missed it.

  • Anemic Heart

    So while we continue to wait for the last two mixes from Dave, I decided to release another song from the 2011 sessions at Hotel2Tango with Bond Head and Jonathan, two of my former bandmates from Doughboys. This one was mixed by Howard and mastered by Ronan Chris Murphy and is a bit more melancholy and less heavy than the last one. It will also be a digital single, and will be released on January 27th, 2023.

    If you’re a Spotify user, you can pre-save the track here. For the rest of you, I’ll make sure it gets on my bandcamp at some point.

    I also asked RD Cane to take a stab at a video for it, so will be uploading that to the Scamindy Youtube channel in time for the release.

    In the meantime, its -9 here in Vancouver, so I’m going to attempt to shovel out my car so I can get some provisions to get through Christmas!

    Happy Holidays everyone!
