We've been writing and recording the soundtrack for CBC's Farm Crime series since 2017(ish). They've been kind enough to let us do pretty much whatever we want (That includes recording all the music on a Tascam 8 track cassette machine). It might be the best gig ever.
Farm Crime Season 3 launches on CBC Gem November 3rd. A collection of our favorite soundtrack bits will hit the streamers on the same day. It's live on our Bandcamp page right now if you're curious.

Gone are the days of $10 reel to reel machines at the Goodwill (rip) so we've had to drag this guy into the modern age. Or at least the early 2000's.

Come see us on Thursday at the Baby G. Doors at 8. We're on at 9:45ish.

Is it an album release if you don't make physical copies? What the hell? Why Not?

Come join us for new tunes and some antiques.

🏆🎶 Thrilled to take home the award for Best Original Score at
T.O. WebFest 🎶🏆

We loooove the original music in the series, and all credit goes to FemBots! It was our dream to have them write music for the show, and we’re so glad to see it recognized!

Seek out their music wherever you get your tunes - and look out for their new album ‘Transfigurations’ in September!

Sudbury friends, the last time we saw you was 2008. Some of you we're still under age. Those who weren't are now old and tired. We'd been drunk for months, had catastrophic food poisoning in Thunder Bay and were at the tail end of a tour that came as close as any to breaking us.

Never let the good times bring you down.

We're back in your city Friday June 17th at The Lounge 390 with a giant pile of new songs and a few moldy oldies.

Until then we'll be trying to decide if this tiny, battered beast will fit in the van.

Tombstone Blues Live 12/05/2022

Here's a live clip of Tombstone Blues by our old friend Iner Souster. It was filmed during our 2007 eastern Canada tour.

Hello friends
Lots of people have reached out about next week's show at the Tranzac. Thank you all! This is our first show back after a long, long, long break and we were after something small and low key to ease us back in. The front room of the Tranzac has a capacity of 45 people. It's a pay what you will/pass the hat gig (please bring some cash. It's always nice to be able to pay the rhythm section). There are no advance tickets and no guest list to speak of. Our time slot is 10-12. If you are coming and are concerned about getting in I'd suggest coming a little early. There is another act in the time slot before us and I'm sure they'd be happy to have some extra audience members.
If you can't get in or if all of the above keeps you away there will be other chances to see us. This is the first of many shows and we'll likely be even better next time!
