Travelling, man

Just updated our events calendar including some european and canadian dates!!! We're going to Berlin, Geneva, Amsterdam, Oslo, London and maybe a few more spots. In november, we're cooking up a mini Canadian tour... more dates are coming soon!!!

Fall is going to rule. That big news I have is going to have to wait a bit longer. Check back soon!!!

Summers almost gone...

As we enter the dog days of summer, I can safely say that it was not a very good one weather-wise here in Toronto. Apprently we got more rain than Vancouver!!! It would seem that our opportunities to really get crazy drunk and sweat balls and possibly get arrested were kept to a minimum. Oh well, I honestly can say that it was probably for the best since I could work at home without A/C which hasn't been possible in a long time.

I just added the Jerk It t-shirts to our online store. Go BUY one. There's literally only 10 of them left.

We will have a big announcement in the next week or two. I can't wait to tell yall! It has to do with our album and whos putting it out.... as well as upcoming tours in Europe and Canada. YEAH!

Random shit:

Woodstock

Yours truly did his first ever crowd surf at Hillside in Guelph

The Jerk It 12" is coming out next week!!! They will be available many places online, which I will link here. I'm about to set up our shop to sell the limited run T-shirts and CDs that we had made for the release.

Well Hillside Fest was insane. We drove there Saturday afternoon because our show was at 6pm. We made it with about an hour to spare. After setting up merch, we walked over to tent where we were to perform. When we walked in, I think Plants and Animals were performing. The entire audience was sitting cross-legged and we suddenly started shitting our pants at the situation. Not only that but the guy that played in between acts simply had an acoustic guitar and was playing some very folksy songs....which is COOL and all but I was really wondering how badly we were being set up to fail.

Well, I was 100% wrong. The kids that came to see us got into it right away and it infectiously spread to anyone else in the tent. This was definately one of our favorite shows EVER. The sight of hundreds of people bouncing up and down for a good part of our set really made us smile. And now I present to you videos to illustrate just how nuts it was. Thank you to Hillside and hopefully we'll see you next year? I'm camping next time.

Everybody loves the sunshine

See that glazed out look in my eyes...yep..I was on auto pilot. Also check the new TH Tee!

I'm not ready to talk about the events surrounding last Fridays' performance at Foufs. In fact, I still don't really know what happened. I just know that I blacked out for 3 hours... including an apparent 1 hour dj set... and lost my iPhone (again). Let's just call it bizarro world Thunderheist cause Isis was sober and I was wylin out like it was prom night. Hope yall had fun cause I sure as shit don't remember!

We are at Hillside festival tommorow which is apparently SOLD OUT as of a few days ago... crazy! And if you're in Toronto tonight, please come check me out at NONSTOP at the Drake Underground for my monthly dj night with Fistfight and special guest CFCF from montreal.

Next week we still start offering these Jerk It Tees that were designed by our favorite Swedish playboy, Arthur Roing. Stay tuned...

THE CONTEST
Ladies and Gentlemen,

The day is upon us!!

It's time to reveal the winner of the Jerk It Video contest....

But before we announce the official winner. WE really want to thank everyone who participated in this contest whether they were finalists or not. It really made us feel all gushy inside when we saw how many people put a bunch of work even tho they might not ncessssarily win. As far as I'm concerned, everyone is a winner. As a consolation prize, anyone who sent us a video gets guest list + 1 to the show of their choice (whenever available of course). If you submitted one, please contact us by email to ensure that we have your contact info. We have those who mailed us digitally but some of yall gave us DVDs at shows and we dont necessarily have your emails.
The two runners up will also get a nice care package in the mail curteousy of yours truly.

We had over 2400 votes (!!!) from all over the world. You probably are not aware but the videos really made the rounds and it's still spreading through word of mouth.

And so it's the moment of truth....
