Guys, finally, after all these years, we managed to take our tour our to the East Coast!

It was a long trek from Thunder Bay to Saint Andrews New Brunswick, with a couple stops in Sudbury and Quebec City, but the van held up and did an outstanding job with the 20 hour drive and as always, she got us right where we needed to be, and much earlier than expected, leaving us a good amount of time to explore the rainy streets, warm pubs and the seaside at low tide in the quaint little town of Saint Andrews next to the Bay of Fundy. According to the locals, this wasn’t the ideal time to be playing monster gigs around these parts, but it was a solid night of tunes and good brews at The Red Herring Pub down by Saint Andrew’s Wharf. We were also joined by local song-slinger Randy Lavigne and his homemade telephone receiver microphone… and did we mention our hotel had a giant pool? Seems strange, but most welcome! It was almost on par with the view from our balcony…

The next day we made a trek up to Moncton, New Brunswick, another charming town with some of the friendliest locals we have met so far! A large French population mixed with east coast accents greeted us into the town as we combed the local farmer’s markets and prayed for some sun to peek out at us. We were excited for another gig in uncharted territory, this one being held at Plan B Lounge, a remarkable little venue on the corner, mixed in with the houses and apartments. It had a classic small stage with signatures of all the touring bands and nomads to have come through and performed scrawled all over it with sharpie (we signed of course…) The staff featured an all-star roster of kind people with big hearts and stories, and they even let us crash in the two-bedroom apartment located directly above the venue, rented for the live bands they have 7 DAYS A WEEK. We definitely thought venues like this existed only in our dreams… we can’t thank them enough for their hospitality and the party that ensued… still feeling that one boys…

The gig was also the first of 3 we would be playing with our good friends Mike and Bruce of The Town Heroes from Halifax. They were kind enough to help us book the gigs out this way with them, and it turned out to be quite a fantastic little show in Moncton… we can only expect the rest of our adventure here to be equally as beautiful, full of local micro-brew and Cape Breton humour and of course, the charming sounds of two good dudes making incredible music.
