    my last post on this band was pre-fucking-pandemic. I probably would have seen them another 2-5 times in that time frame. 

    here's hoping November's festival show still happens.

    with the festival cancelled, Headstones have posted a few pictures on their socials about something "coming soon". not sure if it's new music or some shows. hopefully both. But it appears they are back to a four piece. Rickferd Van Dyck seems to be no longer with the band. Not sure why. nothing is mentioned on his pages or theirs.

    It's a shame they cancelled the tour.   They just announced that concerts can be at full capacity here in BC.  Would of been a fun show to go to.  Hopefully they do a bar show here.

    it was all because that asshole Jeff Martin (Tea Party) was having trouble getting clearance to travel here from Australia.

    That sucks, bud.  They should plan a special gig your backyard as a tribute to their #1 fan!

    I was not aware of that.  I thought you could fly here as long as you quarantined on arrival.. one wouldn't think it would be that hard with a lot of heads up.

    I was superstoked to see the headstones again, but I was also superstoked to see Moist.   I had seen them since they played the old Arena here in '97 (ish).  It was a helluva fun show.

    yeah I'm not sure as to the logistics, but it was revealed that the whole cancellation revolved around Jeff and his travel issues of some sort.

    I didn't realize there was a whole thread devoted to Headstones 'til just now. Saw them a handful of times in the 90s, early 2000s. And a few since they reunited (they still sound great, slightly different energy but still rock hard). Being near Kingston, they've always been a favorite of mine.

    I could really go for a headstones show.  My first official date with my wife was a Headstones show at a now defunct bar called the Soundgarden.

    I love seeing The Headstones when they come to down.  They always rock the place and the crowd is always super into it.   Luckily because I'm in a small town they always play our smaller bars when they come here.  Always makes for a great experience.

    I also wish they'd release their albums on vinyl :)

    i've been badgering Hugh for years about that. But I doubt it will happen. I have no idea how that even gets done, if the band has any say, or if it's a record company thing, not sure. 

    he also refuses to release a live album. he apparently hates live records. He said at the Kingston show in 2013 that they were recording that show, I asked him after if I could have a copy, he said "I'll see what I can do". I'm still waiting. lol

    new song Tangled was released a couple weeks back. I dig it. And Flight Risk is out this October.

    just one I'm sure. the two other closest shows to me are a 6 and 8 hour drive, so I won't be doing that. especially in November. I think my days of being a StoneHead following them around are done.

    There are a few bands I would have followed that way at one time but either didn't have the means or didn't have the time.  Would have been fun though!
    So enjoy the heck out of that one show!
