Death Before Hip

February 22nd, 2005

Thanks to everybody who came out to Greenfield's to see us peel the steel sheets off the Barrhaven Mall roof with our no-holds-barred brand of rawk'n'rawk. Mad props to openers the Stand and the Red Arrows who played stellar sets as usual.

I would however like to un-thank one attendee. This would be the woman who accosted us before, during, and after our set to play "anything by the Tragically Hip". Ok, I know Greenfield's isn't exactly the Fillmore North, but we're not a karaoke machine lady - I don't care how many members of the band you try to seduce. We signed a pact with Satan that clearly states how we will bring deliverance unto the ignorant masses in the form of rawk so pure that it could put hair back on Gord Downie's head. That's our mission in this life and the next... and we can't stray from that path - ever - not even for one song. Not anywhere in the agreement does it mention "New Orleans is Sinking" or "Courage" so please understand us when we tell you we can't play that stuff. We're not just brushing you off... we REALLY can't play it.
