Tour diary - Canada


The first show in Vancouver was upmost energetic. We had to 
blow out a few cob webs but after the first crack on the snare 
the crowd began to move. This venue looked like the Tivoli 
and the crowd was dedicated. So Richards on Richards street 
is a definite for the future.We are Lucky to have acquired a 
great Canadian crew that has been most hospitable and great 
for a laugh. After driving around the countryside for the 3 days 
staying in cabins in the snow, and 0 degree temperatures we 
trek through the amazing Canadian Rockies. 

Our tour companions "Current Swell" are keeping a roof over 
our heads outside the city. Somehow we managed to acquire 
this pimped out Ford Flex with all the mod cons. Sunroofs, 
comfy seats, and a quiet motor are some of the perks of being 
on the road in the Rockies for 8 hrs a day.

So far there have been great crowds at every show. Calgary 
was our last show and we went out with a bang. The promoter 
really looked after us and we played like it was the last time we 
ever would. After a 12 hr drive from Calgary to Vancouver we 
recorded some tracks in this great studio called Fader Master 
at about 12 pm. We have finished up on the mainland and are 
spending our last day on Victoria Island to farewell "Current 
Swell".

I got to say that eating at Denny's at 3 in the morning was 
definitely a highlight, especially because we had a massive 
entourage. The poor waitress couldn't understand our down 
under accents so we brought about 20 locals to translate our 
slang. So now we bus it to Seattle.
