Babylon Night Club (Ottawa)	Fri Nov 28, 2003
Benefit show for the Shepherds of Good Hope Christmas Hamper Program with the Million Dollar Marxists, The Setbacks, The Busboyeez, and the Army of St. Joan. You know as well as we do that this is going to be one hell of a rock show. All proceeds from the show go to help put together packages for needy families at Christmas time, a great charity. This is the second year in a row that we've been asked to play, as last year's event was a smashing success. I am hoping this year's will be even better!
Babylon Night Club	Fri Oct 24, 2003
This will be a killer triple bill. We're sharing the Babylon stage with Full White Drag as they pass through Ottawa, and local duo Army of St. Joan (unfortunately the Cobras, who were on the bill, broke up this week!). This is one of the best lineups we've ever played on, and the expectation is that because of the immense concentration of rawk inside of the club, a vacuum will be created outside the club, causing explosions, earthquakes, and tidal waves everywhere within a 200km radius. In all honesty, the only safe place to be in Ottawa that night will be inside Babylon, as the rest of the city will erupt into flames because of the sheer magnitude of the rock happening that night. Be there.
Babylon Night Club	Wed Oct 01, 2003
We'll be supporting The Tangiers, one of the biggest buzz bands in Canada in years. They rock hard. Also on the bill is Hawaii, another hot ticket on the National Campus Radio charts. They've spent 10 weeks on the chart, to be one of the longest charting albums currently there. We'll be opening the show so come down early and stay late, as this promises to be the most rock you'll ever get on a Wednesday night. Guaranteed.
