spring shows + r.i.p. bar orwell.

we've been busy hibernating (see: slacking) after our march weekender, but we're still gonna write that post about it eventually. a lot's happened since then...

we played with picknumberthreemylord! (who came all the way up from rochester), pretty mouth (subbing in for be still) & linens @ the arcade a few weeks ago. it ruled!

we've got a handful of shows waiting in the wings for may + june:

  • may 13th @ next church sanctuary (kingston) w/ frail body, treehouse of horror & pity the heel ($15 or p.w.y.c./all ages)
  • june 8th @ tranzac club w/ a perennial daydream (last show), treehouse of horror, guest room status & blosum ($20 or p.w.y.c./all ages)
  • june 15th w/ terry green, purity culture & cloudwatch (tkaronto—details t.b.a.)
  • june 24th @ houndstooth (a.k.a. the toast show) w/ gutmachine & xxemoboyskissingxx (p.w.y.c./19+)

in worse news, we also got word a few weeks back that bar orwell has seemingly closed for good after only a few years; fuck every landlord & property owner that obstructs what little culture we have left to hold onto in this city. some of our favourite shows as a band and as attendees have been there, and we'll miss their contribution to independent music. it's getting dire finding good venues around here but
in the face of it all, we have to march on...

here's a video clip of our first show there and our third show as a band. we'll miss it dearly.

and one last thing—riotnine forever.

love,
boxxy
