They are shutting down Cordova St (Hastings to Pender) for a few hours next Thursday. BJB is taking this opportunity to support Vancouver's DTES community and do a free 30-minute set about 1:40 pm. Brandy, Tim and I are playing old and new songs if you're in the hood 😎

Saw The Cure last night. Always a dear band to me so it was great to finally see, hear, and feel the love they give, in person. Loved watching the sometimes subtle personalities on stage become familiar friends as the show would unfold. Safe travels to all out there bringing it.

we were contacted by @Bandcamp management and petitioned to cease supporting @bandcampunited. to be clear: we fully support @bandcampunited and want to see the platform that espouses to champion independent music do so equally for their staff. let them vote immediately.
