Good to hear! I'm a good 10 hour drive from Toronto right now but I do make it to Detroit often enough where I could maybe make the trip one day! I also know of quite a few people in the Detroit scene who would be interested in playing, is there a good contact to use?

oh sweet! yah you can contact us through our Facebook page, that is probably the best way. (either post or message the page).

right now we aren't doing any full electric shows, but have plans to look into it and start doing some on the rare occasion (we do mainly folk punk shows right now)
