Hey, Seany here. I wanted to take a minute on behalf of the band (and my other band @thegreatsabatini ) to acknowledge the passing of a good friend. Kevin (BK) passed away last week and left a massive hole in the montreal community, and the hearts of folks from far and wide. There really aren't words to adequately describe how good he was to everyone. He also made incredible music with Animal Ethics (I managed to do a couple shows as a third, entirely unnecessary guitar player with them years ago), as a beat maker and rapper (as BK Brooks), and screaming with our friends @maxxpower_mtl . He leaves a recorded legacy with those bands and projects, so put that stuff in rotation. Saying he'll be missed is an understatement. Nothing but love for his family and inner circle. Thanks to BK for everything... it was a privilege to know him. REST IN POWER.
We have a couple of announcements:
First off, moving into the new year, we will now be functioning as a three-piece. We’d like to thank Thom for being an integral part of this project from the time of our inception. We wouldn’t be where we’re at today without his past contributions and we wish him all the best in his future creative endeavours.
Secondly, we’ll be playing some shows in March, including this one which we’re very excited about:
Saturday, March 15th in Montreal with @whoresband & @facetnoise
Advance tickets are available at: // /events/whores-tickets-8SXW6R
We’ll have some more updates regarding shows and this n’ that in the coming weeks. Until then, keep doomscrolling!
Our European tour with @grebermetal ended several weeks ago and we’re finally just getting around to addressing it. It’s impossible to express how incredible of a time it was and it’s not making the readjustment to “normal life” very easy, haha!
We’re eternally grateful for each and every show promoter & all the staff from all of the venues. You all put so much time, energy and care into organizing the shows and accommodating us, it’s still difficult to fathom that art / music / musicians are valued somewhere in the world. Holy moly, North America could learn a thing or two hundred from the European folk on how to accommodate bands.
To all of the bands we had the privilege of playing with and all of the folks who came out to the shows: it was an absolute treat to get to meet every one of you and we’re so grateful for you all for taking the time to check out a couple of unknown bands from Canada.
This is turning into a “TL;DR” post, but I’m trying to make it brief while giving credit where it’s due.
Thanks to our driver @wojtekvan4band for being the best in the van & backline biz. To our boys in Greber: what can be said? We love you guys. Thanks for being the impetus behind this tour and for all of your tireless efforts to make it happen! (Tee-Bee!)
Last and most importantly, hugest possible thanks in the history of kudos to our brother @mskwaankwad for filling in with us in lieu of PQ’s absence and absolutely CRUSHING it on vocals. This entire thing would not have been possible without you and we couldn’t imagine having done it with anyone else. We love you to death. We love you to death.
Okay, that’s it. Here’s a little compilation of clips from various shows from the tour. We’ll be posting several more over the next week or so, so stay tuned.
Lots of love and gratitude from us at the CP camp!
We’re heading over the Atlantic for our first ever European tour in three weeks! Unfortunately, our vocalist, PQ will not be able to make the journey with us and will be dearly missed.
Despite having big shoes to fill due to PQ’s absence, we’re very fortunate to be able to continue on with the tour thanks to our dear friend Mskwaankwad “Musky” Rice, whom some of you may know from his band @biipiigwan . Sean & McGee have travelled many a kilometer on the road playing music with Musky over the years and couldn’t dream of a more adept person to cover the vocals in lieu of our main man, PQ. We look forward to seeing all of you folks overseas next month!
We still need to fill in a few of the dates on the tour: Tuesday, October 22nd & Wednesday, October 23rd, so if anyone has any leads and could put us in touch with a band or promoter that could help out, we’d be eternally grateful! Thank you!
*Also, PQ normally runs this account, but will be taking a break from now until we get back from the tour, so if you need to contact him directly, please feel free to contact him through his personal account: @___.pq._____
RIVE NORD!!! La semaine prochaine nous prendrons possession du stage au Le Montecristo avec Collapsed, Global Holocaust et Cell Press! ÇA VA ÊTRE BRUTAL!!!
