Remember them? Arnold Lanni has been producing them. I recently saw them at BU's street party. They ruled.

Anyone seen them live?

I saw them open for Collective Soul in 2005.

They were pretty good. They did a cool Helter Skelter cover.

Cool. Yeah I saw them on Friday for the first time, kinda weird considering they're from Winnipeg. I was really impressed though. They put on a great show, and played 3 great covers aswell. A big jam session with Novillero aswell.

Joey the bass player was from BU's music program so he had a huge fan club up front.

They opened for another band here in Regina, either Grady or Thornley.

I didn't go, but I'm just informing you.

I've had their first album for a while now.
They are pretty rad. Catchy party tunes. I'd definately love to see them live.

Yeah I've owned the album for awhile now too, but seeing them live is way diffrent. I don't think they transfer onto a cd as well.

Are you sure they didn't open for Theory of a Deadman? They had some intresting banter midshow about how shitty the band was (egged on by a fan) and made a remark about pretending to like them while playing with them

Yeah I'm sure. They may have opened for them too, but I don't know anyone who'd go to that show. It was definitely one of the two bands I named.
