Propagandhi

Propagandhi touring eastern Canada and UK!!!

Chris and I have just finishing booking flights to the United Kingdom to play shows in England, Ireland and Scotland! We are excited. These good times will be going down starting December 6th. All shows are still being lined up over there by our mate, Sean.

Also on the agenda is Ontario and Quebec starting in Thunder Bay on the 15th, 16th, or 17th (ed. he means in October -- Jesus H. Chris) . I can't rememeber.These shows are being lined up here in the zero hour and will feature the bands GFK and Hiretsukan and some others. This trip is going to rip as we show off our new buddy,The Beave. watch for details. They will be coming your way any day now. Jamming with The Beave is sounding so good. It's way, way better. I look forward to hearing that dual, thick, full, guitar ripping everyday.

Thunder Bay was the first show I ever played with Propagandhi. Afterwards we weren't sure whether to kick me out of the band, laugh, cry, beat the shit out of me, flush me down the toilet, or, in the face of total humiliation, play the next show. hahhaha.. We hope Beaves first effort goes a little better than mine did. I'm sure it will.Beave seems to have the memory of an actual living human. All I remember is thinking. "What the hell's the next note?...oops missed it..too late..what's next..oh, i forget..oops..." haha.. Those were the good old days. sniff, sniff... Anyway, we purposely picked Thunder Bay in which to bring thunder to once again!! Well, maybe last time we brought enough lightning to power one lap of a little car around a tiny figure 8 race track. This time though you'd better Watchit!!!! Saturday is the last day of the mighty Central Park market here in Winnipeg. It's going to be a special one featuring 4 groups of dancers from El Salvador and Guatemala! It will be rocking. Apparently, I am the MC for the day. haha..... Hairhole will be doing the sound. This years market was the tester to iron out some problems and figure stuff out before next years "real" market begins. Come one come all! Every single time this year was fun as hell for me. A small germination of next years devastation. Ha. The total and utter power of music becomes most apparent to me at the market. When we play a song from a country where someone walking by is from they stop to dance, sing, or talk. If you type in the word "Soobax" on youtube.com you can check out the singer K'naans music video. He is a market favorite. This is the greatest song in the known world. Also check out his explaination of the song shortly after. The market is rocking when K'naan comes knocking, I'll tell you that! Also, check out the new Nomeansno record, check out the ruling new Salif Keita record. We'll have another update and tour dates right away. Keep your eyes peeled!!! -Scrod.
