THE MUSIC.
Anybody like them? They have kind gotten lost since putting out two great albums. Its been a while since the second one. The first was self titled in 03 and the follow up was Welcome To The North. Both ROCKED. I mean it. Get some.
They absolutely blew my ass and everyone else away at the commodore. You must see them to believe the energy. fantastic, heart pumping show. I wrote this on his "blog area":
just thinking to myself today, where the hell is the music??? good to know its on its way.....you guys absolutely destroyed the commodore here in vancouver. i go to A LOT of shows here, and i swear, your show is the reason there is now a space between the crowd and the stage. so many people jumped up during your set, you guys looked a little frustrated towards the end. amazing energy and show...cant wait for your return, lots of us here cant.
ROCK!

so yeah,
Rob updates and blogs on his myspace frequently. They have recording everything for the new album and will soon be mastering or whatever it is they need to do to get ready for release. Its gonna be wicked I hope.
Anyways, just wanted to see if there were any other fans out there anxiously awaiting the return.

you can check more yourself out later....its tough to search them anywhere, because of the name. you have to know the names of songs.
BTW, the frontman, ROB is now completely bald. HA!
check the jam and drum beat at the end of this song. DOPE! (never mind, its video edited, the album version is extended.)

Unfortunatly I think they're a band that is amazing on their debut but are so good they have nowhere to go for the 2nd (as shown in Welcome to the North).

rob seems pretty stoked about the 3rd....maybe a four year hiatus is what they needed...
I thought their second album was way more consistent than the first.
The Music will announce four ultra low-key "fan club" gigs via their website tomorrow morning (Thursday 7th February) at 9.00am. Tickets priced £10 (plus booking fee) will go on sale at the same time via an exclusive link right here."

How can you not just dance to this song?
awesome news....good find, oh thats from his blog!!!
Honestly.....
So ive being toying with the idea of if i should tell you about this but now i feel the time is right.I think its important for you as a fan to realise what ive been through in the last 4 years and how things have changed.
Its difficult to look back sometimes and not allow memories to develop into regrets.Choices that were made and more importantly thoughts that occurred.
If im honest i got into music as a way of expressing myself.I never thought for a second anyone would care or be entertained by this expression.As a 14 year old its tough to deal with emotions that come knocking that youve never dealt with before.So through music i restored a degree of normallity by venting my naive views of the world.Those views often way off the mark and unhealthy for a young mind.Trying to solve problems about the world in my head that even grown men cant do was a burden to my thought process.
Desperation develops through unanswered questions.Couple that with the beginning of the introduction of weed into my life.When i was going up i never really felt like i belonged anywhere until the first time i got high.It was like the one answer to so many questions.It seemed to give me a clarity and confidence that i had never experienced before.Invincible is a thought that springs to mind as i think back.Truly amazing times but i would later pay for this.
The addiction began to sit into its groove.At first it was a joy them later became a habit and a way of escaping the problems and thoughts that i mentioned earlier.Broad and unrealistic thoughts.Remember the song Life?Waking up on a misty morning all i want to do is get high?Thats the only thing that seemed worth living for.Well,that and music.
So i had become a self rightous scruffy selfish human being.Bitter at the powerless postion i was in to my unrealistic thoughts.My reality was nothing like the ones that were around me.My thoughts werent on getting laid.They were on the incomprehensible thoughts that, man can fly to the moon yet there are people dying on earth.Those kind of crazy thoughts that i cant find an answer to or change on my own.
So the snowball begins to roll down the hill.Always gathering power and speed.Growing in a cold and slippery way.Unaware of the monster im creating.This was my home for a long time.Whenever things got bad or too scary,id hide in the negativity of the world.These were the only answers i could find.Not a good place to be.
It was after i returned from the touring of the 2nd album that i began to feel unwell.Confused and so very scared.I had quit the habit of weed cos it turned out it wasnt for me.It opened so many doors in my mind.Some wonderful,some not so wonderful.I had to substitute it with beer and food.I had become bigger and slower.I was no longer this bouncing young man that thrived off expressing himself.I always tried to make people feel like they could forget about what they looked like in order to for them to feel free for a moment.(a bit like when your at a party and the dancefloor is clear and you have to wait for some idiot to get up and make a tit of themselves before you can get up,ya know?Im that guy whos gets up first to give you licence to say,"fuck it").Anyway.....id got fat and lazy in my eyes.
At the end of 2005 i wasnt myself.I had no beliefs anymore.I didnt really care about anything.I still had the same thoughts pounding round my head.the difference now was that i knew that i couldnt do anything about poverty and fucking random shit like that.Before i felt like i could.Reality took hold of me and what i saw i didnt like for one second.I sat on my arse a watched the weeks roll by.monday after monday.the snowball now the size of a mountain.
Drinking became the place to hide.Id have a bottle of wine before 7pm.then go out and make a fool of myself.The next day was always panic and more questions.
The things that were so strong had become weak and pointless.Like my voice......the thing that gives me everything i own.I know now when i look back the performances on the 2nd album were bad.That hurts me to realise that.
Acceptance was never easy.Always hiding in the negativity until i began to feel an overwhelming sense of doom.every day was bad.It took a close friend to say to me......."Robert,you are depressed".Thinking, ok im a little down about things but im not that bad.Paranoia is a killer.Suicide became an option.The doors in which i had opened in my early life needed closing or at least entering and sorting out.
So i got help from professionals at the end of 2005.I didnt realise just how bad i was.With help from my family,friends and medication i was able to start living again.It's a huge hill to climb coming back from something like that.A constant battle to remain part of reality.To retrain my mind into the prospect of a challenge instead of the safety of the negativity.
The last 2 years have been tough and ive faced up to the countless questions that were asked.Sorted through them.Youll hear what i mean when you hear the record.For now my battle is staying focused on the positive and trying to live a clean and happy life.
I hope this is a help to you all and that you can understand what ive been through.I needed to tell you this.
