Montreal





We left Louisville at about 11:00am and set out for the border. No troubles crossing back in, and our Border Guard kept us there just to talk about music. Cool guy man. Anyways, we have just hit London ON, and will be getting some much needed rest before heading out again to Montreal.

We arrived in Montreal, and immediately found ourselves lost. It allowed us to take in some sights though, including the very alien looking Olympic stadium. So I guess some good came of that. We stayed the night in the University of Montreal hotel. Basically a dorm complex with towels provided.

The show. What can we say? Going from the insanity of the Carnival of Chaos to the after holiday of tranquility of le Barfly was tough. We did play a short set though to a few patrons. We were informed that any day in Montreal is wicked, except for June 25 (by the way we had to make our own sound... and it sounded wicked, thanks to Ryan our sound guy!).

On the upside, we did get to experience the world renowned taste of Shwartz Montreal smoked meat sandwiches. Believe me when I say that nobody can do it like these guys. Johnny and Jerome also got to work on a new song that night back at the hotel. This one is unlike anything we have done before! So I guess some good came out of Montreal.
