The namesake of a very scary horror movie character (when I was 13 I thought he was scary anyway). My friend always watched horror movies, and I was so scared of them I used to actually call home and get my mom to pick me up if we had to watch one, and id make up some excuse that was anything but of course “fear”. Also a nickname for a very lovely town in New Brunswick. We are in Rimouski right now, or driving past soon. Shivering Songs tomorrow. For some reason the name of a cool movie popped in my head: “Ravenous.” Guy Pearce pre famous Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle. Great soundtrack. Was talking about this actually last night too with a fellow named Leif Vollebek, who we shared the stage with. Creepy but also an amazing movie. Great soundtrack.

Still no sign of Harper and we gots a show to play in Laval. Thanks so much Ottawa!! Really wonderful time at Mavericks. Opening for Pirate de Couer tonight. Think we start at around 8. Gonna be a short set so come early if you can!!

Yes!! Merci Kingston for the fun times. V, you’re the best. Ottawa tonight Mavericks. Should be a blast. I think we are on at 10 pm. See you there!

Hey folks. Let’s get this started. Kingston Ontario, home to Queens u., Virginia Clark and the Tragically Hip. Wolf Island. Great coffee. Outdoor skating rinks. Obviously a heck of a lot more. Will have some special peeps along for the show tonight. Think I’m gonna keep it a surprise though. I like surprises, don’t you? Julie Fader is a guest I can announce (it’s on the poster:) but that’s all!! Can’t wait. See you soon!

As Little Jon ala David Chapelle might put it: “AWW.. YEEAAW”!! Some more tour dates added to the TOUR section of the site. Kingston, Ottawa, Laval, Halifax & Fredericton. Sorry for all the extra CAPS.. They are intended to make one [you] feel the rush of excitement I’m feeling right now. Did it work?!

Postdata will perform as special guest to Mark Kozelek in Fredericton on Feb. 4th. This is part of the Shivering Songs festival. The show is at Wilmot United Church. Doors at 7pm. A really great line-up. Very exciting. A few more dates coming soon.

Yay!
