Manitoba Summer Tour!

-

 We had a lot of fun this past week. After performing in Squamish at the slightly hard to find Trickster's Hideout with Zombie Roof, Isabelle and I celebrated our 24th anniversary the day later and then jumped in a minivan to play three more shows in Manitoba. With Daniel Clement offering additional driving support the whole event was quite enjoyable. Big thank you's to everyone who offered us a bed to stay in,  you hosting made it all work. 

 

We would like to give a special shout out to Steve, Lyall, Gary, Elaine and Michael, and Terry and Helen for their generosity and kindness. Manitoba treated us very nicely once again. Good to know.

Now please follow us on Spotify or Apple Music or where ever you may stream. 

Thanks for reading 

Mark

Back in January or February of 2013 I remember starting the core idea one afternoon and the song took shape quite rapidly.  The lyrics are personal but I tried to keep them open to interpretation rather than literal; it's been a sad realization that this kind of incident isn't as rare as it may seem.   The truth is all four of us: Juice, Misty, Isabelle and I were heavily affected by Todd's death, and it's been many months of processing.  We recorded this version back in the summer, on a beautiful day in Vancouver full of sunshine and laughs.  Misty is playing the
