With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
When Alberta Health pumped the brakes, we were 3 shows in to a string of 15 confirmed dates through the spring, and were setting up for another 10-12 summertime dates. This was gearing up to be our busiest year yet.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We had just released our sophomore album "From the Headache to the Heartache" in February with numerous shows to follow. 90% of those shows just couldn't happen.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
We went back to writing and recording songs. We had some that hadn't been recorded yet, so we've begun recording those, as well as working out a few newer ones.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
It wasn't immediate... but I got a haircut and then we had a band meeting.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
So many... playing with Nashville Pussy, The Reverend Horton Heat, Supersuckers were all highlights.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Music is only 'cancelled' if you think it is. The born players and writers are still pushing forward. Let them know how important it is to you.
