If you saw the Seahorse ad in the Coast (congrats, Gilbert Switzer for scoring the cover) and got excited to see us this Friday (Aug 5), I should let you know that the ad is incorrect. This show has changed dates and lineups, but the Hold were never supposed to play. We're on a break. For those of you who don't know, our drummer also plays bass for the Burdocks, who are on the road supporting their newest release, What We Do is Secret.
It still looks like a fine show, and I'll be in the audience. The bands playing are Los Mantolinos (sp? I know nothing about them), Warring States, Pull's Key, and A Million Dollar Rock Band. Warring States is our friend Robin (formerly of the Warming Signs) and Jason (formerly of the Heelwalkers). A Million Dollar Rock Band are also friends of ours and if you check the past shows section, you'll see we played at least one show with them when we were first starting out. Back then, they were a two-piece. Now, they're a "full" band. Johnny Flinn, Jora Wentzel (who played bass in my first band), Erik Southey (who was in Head Injury Convention [I should go to one], the Debonnaires, and other stuff), and a guy named Hayden, affectionately known to us as "the Heckler". He comes to our shows and yells stuff at us like, "you stink like piss!"
In other Seahorse news, I heard a rumour that the show on August 13th is the end of an era. After that, they're "done with punk shows." I knew it was coming, but it would've been nice to play there one last time. (edit-or not. Just saw a good show listed for the 19th. But, hey, that's why it's a rumour. It'll still probably happen soon.)
In other Hold news, we're almost done that split 7". Gilbert Switzer are just waiting on us to finish our vocals, which we will get to when they hit the road this weekend. Speaking of hitting the road, we will be at the end of the month. We're taking another short trip west (but no further west than Ontario). Christian bought a van, so hopefully this one will be our first without rental costs. Watch here, or the shows section, to find out where we'll be when. We should have our little movie done by then. We're playing Reflections (with A Million Dollar Rock Band) August 24 before we go, and Gus' Pub (bands TBA) September 22, after we get back.
Divorce is growing, but more on that later.
