Jelly who?

So there are these kids who live in Langley. And they're sweet. And they come to a lot of Victoria shows, which is hard to do when you're 18 and live in Langley. And they started this pop punk band called Jelly Boyz. And they just put out a demo. And this demo is excellent. So...uh...go listen to it.

Yet more videos!

Hard fuckin' Times

No Eulogy - The Legendary Castle - 05.02.2011 from B.S. on Vimeo.

Goddamn last night was a good time. Who knows why. Maybe it was the air. Maybe it was the mystery. Maybe it was the weed. All I know is that we got to play with two of the best bands Vancouver has to offer. This is just our set, once Brydon gets the rest up I'll post them for you to watch.

Narrow View are one of those bands where you listen to their demo and you're all "Shit son, this is sick, lets go watch these motha' fucka's" and then you see them and your brain is blown out the back of your head. Hellacious set, and Mark is a maniac front man. Someone should have made him pick up a mic ages ago.

Set Foot make me happy. Incredibly happy. Not happy like a fat kid eating chocolate, but how I imagine Ted Bundy felt when he realized he could get away with it. If I have any voice loss today it's because I was singing along to every song.

Vancouver was out in force, which I love to see. Got to see some crucial dudes. Also, watching their facial expressions when they saw the Van Isle push-mosh was amazing.

In other good news, we were able to almost-sorta finalize our tour schedule last night. I should be able to post an update for that in a week or two. Or maybe not.

Updates? Updates!

The LP is coming along nicely. We've got the drum tracks and rhythm guitar laid down, vocals and bass will be done within the week. Reece still needs to record leads and divebombs and feedback. Look for it on (insert label no one has heard of, turns out to be the drummer) sometime this summer.

Our friend Hunter plays in a band called Tongue Tied. They play neat tunes that remind me of being 19. You should check them out. CHECK. THEM. OUT.

We're still playing a show at the Legendary Castle tomorrow. If you know where it is, come out.

So...Egypt, huh?

So we'll be playing the Legendary Castle February 5th. Cool? Very cool.

Check it the fuck out

We're gonna be playing mainly new stuff. Good new stuff. New stuff that will make you happy. Or angry. OR BOTH.

We'll be recording our LP starting in a week or two. Hopefully we'll have tracks for that up ASAP. You will like them. You will like them OR ELSE.

There's been lots of new stuff happening in our lives. You don't get to know about it. Ladies have to have their secrets, you know.

What else is in store? Who knows. Probably a re-pressing of our demo on tape. Probably a pressing of our live set at CFUV on tape. Probably a tour with Iskra. Probably a lot of things. I will neither confirm nor deny any of it.

Our boys in Sixbrewbantha just put up some new tracks from their upcoming 7" split with Archathagus. Listen to it here.

In the future, man will be dominated by apes. Pure madness.

No Eulogy - The Action Index (CFUV 101.9) - 18.11.2010 from VANCOUVER ISLAND HARDCORE on Vimeo.

I'm pretty happy with how the live set on CFUV turned out, despite the insane amount of shit we went through to get there.

We recently purchased a van from a good friend of ours, only to have the first mechanic we took it too refuse to give it more than a cursory once over before declaring it was impossible for it to pass inspection. This left us in a jam for that night, since we now didn't have a street legal vehicle to move gear. We borrowed a friends van and proceeded to fill it to the brim with gear. Which is when the battery dies, and dies but good. So Reece calls his mother (LOLOLOLOLMOM), who drives her car over. We pack IT to the brim and make two trips. Somehow we were only about 15 minutes late, and managed to set up and have sound check finished in record time.

As Reece said, thanks to Troy, Tyler, Brydon and this really patient, nameless sound tech who just kind of stared at us the entire time.

Look out for future shows, new recordings, juicy gossip and general malaise.
