We will be touring across America supporting Ben Kweller for about five weeks in September and October! Ben has a new album coming out soon, and we're really looking forward to hitting the road with him. Check out the tourdates page for details!

Hey folks! If you're at home on friday night you can see us on David Letterman after he's talked to The Donald.
Also, we'd like to thank everyone who came out to our show at the Berkeley Church last night and making it such a great time!

For those of you who get CTV (Canadians, we're looking at you here...), check out Sam and the boys at 9:30pm ET! The "Live at the Concert Hall" special, taped in April as part of the MTV Canada launch in Toronto, airs tonight.

We have added links to radio stations across Canada under the appropriate heading of "requests." This is, and always will be, a vital part of how we get things to happen. We would rather our fans and supporters speak up on our behalf than anyone else. Thanks again for the help - it is both needed and appreciated.

The past week has been a mind-bending blur of rock n roll, people, thunderstorms and late-setting suns. It began at the intersection of Bleury and Ste. Catherine in Montreal, where 100 000 people gathered to watch the likes of Elvis Costello, Daniel Lanois, Bedouin Soundclash and Jim Cuddy paying tribute to the great Paul Simon (yours truly chipping in versions of Late In The Evening and You Can Call Me Al, while wearing a blindingly colorful African shirt which I had been saving in my closet for a special occasion). Then it was on to Victoria, B.C. for the Folk Festival where we played in front of one of the best, most energetic crowds we've ever seen. And this despite the fact that the smoke machine got jammed and kept sending out waves of fog (known to the Knights of the Round Table as the "Dragon's Breath") into their eyes. The sky was clear, the moon was high and so were a few of our loyal fans. Jets Overhead opened the show with a great set in front of their hometown crowd and had them all fired-up when we took the stage. The Victorians sang and danced in a way unbefitting of ladies and gentlemen and it was great to behold. We then moved-on to Kelowna and played on the shores of Lake Okanagan. By Sunday we had reached the Calgary Stampede, chased by a hailstorm which could have derailed the whole show but which, mercifully, cleared-off in time for the first song. Maybe we've atoned for some of our sins of the past (not all, but enough to balance out the books), but this was a really good gig. Next night was the Ottawa Bluesfest and we found ourselves back in the East. The Stills and Matt Mays and El Torpedo were on the bill so it was bound to be a night of music people wouldn't soon forget. There was a great sense of comraderie surrounding the whole night - the Stills had us out as guest latino-esque percussionists and Matt joined us onstage to sing Uprising Down Under. That was when the rain hit and to the crowd's credit, no one budged (well, maybe a couple but who's counting) - it actually seemed as though the energy level went up a few notches. All in all, it has been a very memorable week for us. All of the shows now blending into one big reason to keep it going...

This weekend was a great kick-off to Festivus Season for us. The people of Charlottetown gave the SRB, Matt Mays and El Torpedo and The Tragically Hip an unbelievable welcome on Friday at the Fetsival of Lights. The sun was shining bright for Matt's set and then an enormous cloud rolled-in, driving rain into the eyes of anyone who dared to face-it down. We instantly assumed that this was the return of our bad-karma-personal-weather-system (see Sasquatch festival, among many others, for reference). Then, a small miracle occurred-  the clouds parted and the sun poured in just as we jumped up on stage. Now, not to be overly optimistic, but does this mean that the slate has been wiped clean? The playing field leveled? the ship righted when it comes to our bad Karma/luck? It is far too soon to tell and I would hate to jinx the future so I'll just shut the ol' pie-hole. Anyway, the show was great and the Islanders gave as much back as we gave out so ALRIGHT! We then moved onto to Bala and the beauty and speed-boats of Muskoka. The shows there are always a great time, something to do with  a letting go of inhibitions after a weekend manning the grill while on the sauce. We made our stand there over two nights and the place went-off both shows. Thanks again to the Manchee family for lending us their cottage for the weekend. We'll see you again next summer (the Manchees, not the rest of you)...
