Listen kids, i'll level with you. At first I was all like "yeah, it'll be the best website EVER! But then realized that updating this, plus the myspace, plus the sonicbids, plus the NMC profile, plus the billion other websites that i've neglected i've opened accounts on and then forgotten about, i just don't have time. So i'm not going to update this puppy a hell of a lot. So, i'm sending you over to the myspace. Don't hate. I'm keeping this site up for the hi-res photos, those babies are hot biz.

Hey guys, Mat here, I'm still stranded in Algonquin park which is why not much has happened show wise for the last month or so. But I bought a tour-van! Can a tour be far behind?

Our disc is now available for download on Zunior.com! Holy crap!

You can also pick this biz up at the following stores:

Winnipeg: Into The Music and Music Trader

Calgary: Megatunes

Toronto: Sonic Boom, Soundscapes, Criminal Records, and Rotate This

WOOOOOP

and if you live in the West and would like to book us for mid November, we'd be much obliged.

Boats has a website? Who knew? Yeah I guess this one doesn't get updated a lot, but here's some news.

1. NXNE was rad to the max. We had a great time, met some nice people, our show was well attended and we caught the attention of some indie well-to-dos. We even got our picture in the paper for Now Magazine! A great weekend.

2. We're tearing up the charts like a hot knife through jello. #16 on earshot this week, including #1 in edmonton, #2 in kingston, and still going strong at both Winnipeg stations.

3. We got some kick-ass reviews, i'll put them in the bio section.

4. Buy the disc! you can do it right here on the main page. DO IT!

Hey everyone, check it out... a website. Hopefully this sucker will get updated as much or more than the myspace page, but who are we kidding? This page won't let you post comments or send messages, but it sure does look purdy, thanks to A. McMillan, king of the internet 2003-2007.

So we got this album coming out, right now it is March 20 and the mixing stage is almost complete. It will be mastered on March 27th and it will get pressed in April. We are currently working out a date for a CD release show, which will be in mid-May. So far the thing sounds stone cold awesome thanks to Ryan McVeigh at Mid-Ocean Studios. Also, we got some art work being cooked up by Eddie Ayoub the Second. He's pretty wicked and he made that banner on the photo page. Look at it. Go on.

So I'll try to keep this thing up to date but you never know what's going to happen on this interweb dealy.

Keeping it "real,"
