ROAR TOUR: Fredericton and Moncton, NB May 31-April 1 2008

Well we started the tour this week with Fredericton, NB on Saturday and Moncton, NB on Sunday night. Both went very well. Fredericton was the first night of the tour which meant taking a little longer to set up... like all day. But it's good. We figured out how to keep our fancy new back drop and lights from falling over during the night, and even got a few banners with the album cover printed on them to hang behind us, not to mention new merch with sweet new t-shirt deigns. In the words of our temporary merch girl Natalie, it's looking very "profesh."
That reminds me, for these two gigs we had our very own super amazing road crew! These guys helped out so much. Mad props go out to Nat - lights/powerpoints, Natalie - merch girl/pipe-fitter, Tim - guitar-tech/lights/spare battery guy, and Ryan - admission doorman/roadie/superman. These guys helped so much. Anytime we needed anything fixed or plugged in or figured out they were there and ready to help out with much enthusiasm. I think they're even going to featured in the next podcast for a little comedy moment...so watch out.
Overall both gigs went well. I think did around 5 or 6 songs off the album in Fredericton, and around 7 in Moncton. It feels so good to finally play them. And they'll only get better as the tour goes on. Oh, and before I forget, our opening act - Chelsea Nisbett, is killing it! She is sounding so good. As Rob likes to say, she's got some pipes on her. It's just her and her guitar up there on a little stool, and she lets it rip every night with all she's got. If you haven't heard her yet, now is your chance!
We've got two days off now for some practicing and then we're off to Kentville for some more touring. More to come soon...
