We played 5 shows across canada on our way out to a Festival in Quebec city Oct 11th, and we played each show with the Hamilton band THE REASON. These guys were great fun and we certainly bro’d down on the long trek across. It was also great to be on the road with our new bass player Alex Bodman who did remarkably well right off the bat. After the west shows we pulled a classic 30h straight drive, saskatoon to montreal, to get to a festival show in QC.
