We just got back to Toronto last week in time to rehearse a few times before playing a party for the guys from Them Crooked Vultures. Our friend Dave started booking a new club in town called the Cherry Colas and we were initially invited to come play Saturday the 15th at the after party for the Vultures show. Turns out though that the band came to the club the night before and they closed it down for a private party which we were invited to play as well. I didn’t really get a chance to talk to the guys much but I met everyone from the band and was a little starstruck by JP Jones. Dana (the biggest Zeppelin fan in the band) was almost as giddy as a small child which made us all laugh. We also got free tickets to see their set at the ACC and it was a great time.
We will now be hanging in Toronto and touring around Ontario the next few weeks and then we are heading to New York to play a showcase on June 2nd. We were suppose to head to Montreal this Wednesday but unfortunately the Green Room had a fire and our show got canceled. Now we’ll be in TO until our show at the Dakota this Friday, May 21st and we will also be playing the Cherry Cola (Queen and Bathurst) again on the 22nd! Stay tuned for more updates, and expect to see us back in Vancouver mid to late June, just in time for some killer beach weather.
PS – Also before I left Vancouver I had a party/show at my apartment. I invited some friends to play sets on my piano and had myself, Dan Werb (Woodhands), Tariq (Brasstronaut), Jody Glenham, and my friend Jordan Daniels all play. It was an amazing night and after the more intimate show, it became a raging party with a fridge I packed full of 150 beers going way too quick but at least I made my money back.. Anyway here’s a photo or two, I will throw another show/party when we return in the summer, I want friends Headwater to play!
