Shows, past & future

The Haiti Benefit last saturday had some ups and downs. Chads words:
"On Friday, we put on a show for 100 Shows For Haiti (http://www.100showsforhaiti.com), and despite having the cops come and shut down the first venue we did the show at before the show even started, we picked shit up, moved it to a new space, and still managed to have an amazing night. In total with the door and Vegan bake sale (done by my amazing girlfriend/friends), we were able to raise $430.00, and $150.00 for the touring band (Ringleader from Edmonton http://www.myspace.com/ringleaderhc). A total success in my eyes! This city sure has it’s priorities in check when they feel they have to shut down DIY benefits for less fortunate people in third world countries, instead of dealing with the countless dying people on the streets blocks away. Regardless, we pulled it together and I couldn’t be happier. It’s an awesome feeling that while spending a Friday night running head first into your friends, eating delicious Vegan snacks, and listening to punk rock bands play..you’re also actively helping those in need."

Sadly due to the presence of police we can't do this sundays Devotion/Give show their. It's looking like it will be an early show and I will post updated venue info A.S.A.P.


LISTEN TO BORN AGAINST!

2 SHOWS IN JANUARY!

A Benefit for "100 shows for haiti" which is organized by Greg Bennick(Trial/Between Earth & Sky/Les Gants).

"The greatest humanitarian catastrophe in the western hemisphere took place almost a year ago, and the people of Haiti are still struggling to survive. The earthquake of January 12th left hundreds of thousands dead, homeless, without access to clean water, and without medical care. This coming January, activists and artists from around the world are working together to put on simultaneous events on and around January 12th, to raise money for two Haitian relief organizations. Learn more about what you can do to help. Let's support the Haitian people as they use their ingenuity and passion to transform their nation."

... We haven't been doing doing much the past couple months. Just writing new songs whenever our schedules accommodate it. We have a show or two coming up, details will be announced once everything is confirmed. Hopefully this winter we will be recording so stay tuned for that, I know I'm excited.

as a reward for stopping by and reading this check out this grade 8 yearbook picture of our bass player Bojangles! Dude hasn't aged a bit.

NORTH VAN BOYS!

Nothing new to report on our end, We played with devotion a couple weeks ago. Headbanging ensued, it was great. When asked: "If you were a giant and everything was really really really big, How could you tell you were a giant" Matt Jolliffe replied by saying "Obviously your pants would be size XXXXXXL" clearly Matt is a genius.





Also, check out this video, An accurate representation of life in North Vancouver:

This coming wednesday!

not much to report from us other than Buzz broke his drum throne at practice mid song(a truly hilarious moment) and we lost Matty B but later found him. Glad to have our Matt back in one piece!
