Hi Ho. Reporting to you from Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada!

We left our sweethearts from Detroit (the Von Bondies) in Ontario. We had a blast at our Toronto show with them, doing a Von der Maur Bondies style encore; "Crazy Horses", the heaviest rock song ever written by the Osmonds (!?). We also had the pleasure to do those last shows with San Franciscans, The Peels. Another great rock tour came to an end...... then a 50 hour drive west to start another........

We started our Canadian tour this week. The Matthew Good band and Limblifter are our travel mates, and they are all very friendly. We are going from the very west to the very east (All the way to New Foundland!!! which is basically a chunk of Scotland that fell off and floated our way!) and everything in between. It is going to be a relaxing tour, with many beautiful long drives through the empty spaces of the great white north wilderness!

Yesterday in Vancouver, I spent time with canadian national treasure (as Sir Michael Moore calls him, and i agree!) Narduar the Human Serviette. We giggled and talked about all things past. He gave me dvd's of his best off interviews for his t.v. show. I watched them today, he has talked to everyone from Nirvana to Snoop Dogg. He is a genuine freak of nature, and we love him.

The next three weeks we will introducing the music to new ears in Canada.....and then; our long year of touring is winding down. We will be returning in November to the U.S. for our final run, with H.I.M. and Monster Magnet. Now that sounds like love-metal-heavy-romantic fun!
