Current mood:  drunk
Hey people, Darcy isn't dead. He's alive and kickin, kickin it old school, thinking about going back to school! haha.
Seems like I'm the only one who still checks this thing anymore! I wanted to come say hi again and give you a couple more updates on stuff that only I think is important.
Kirk just arrived home from Mexico with absolutely no tan at all. Lionel is busy writing some solo stuff and from what he's told me he's lining up studio time right now! So expect to hear something from Liiiiionel Sensationaaaal. Darcy is hard at work writing songs, I recently sat in on a practise with Darcy's new project and was blown away, I can't wait for other people to hear it.
What about me? Have you heard the good news!? I have recently started a new band with some awesome dudes who some of you might have seen in other bands in the Edmonton area! We're hard at work writing an Ep with plans to start recording and playing shows this summer! I'm not going to tell you the name, but I'll give you a hint... The name of my new band is somewhere in this blog hidden amungst my pointless babble. I'm really pumped about this new band and hopefully we'll impress some people!
 
Oh and Kirk decided to start using myspace again so search him up!
 
I hope all of you guys are all doing well and I'm sure we'll see eachother again sometime soon!
 
Love,
Andrew

Hey it's me Andrew.... again! please read!

Hey guys and gals.

So I have something I need all of your help with! I'm working in Sales/Marketing for an awesome clothing line called Die Young Live Free. www.dieyounglivefree.com

We're an independent clothing line and my job as sales rep is to push these awesome clothes to stores around the world!

Here's where you come in... since I know you all are super helpful awesome people I need you to go into your local clothing stores and tell them to start carrying Die Young Clothing! If you work at a clothing store that's a bonus! Talk to your boss and tell them about the line. Give them the website and tell them to get in contact with us if they're interested in carrying the line. This company is doing VERY well in Canada right now and I know that kids around the world will love it.

Anyone who's interested in purchasing Die Young Clothing can contact us at dieyoung@live.ca

My work account will be set up by Sunday so any purchasing inquiries can be sent to me! andrew@dieyounglivefree.com

 

Thanks so much you guys, I know I can depend on you to help spread the word.

Lets put these clothes on the backs of kids around the world!

 

Sincerely yours,

Andrew Nixon

Hey everyone. We haven't been very active over the past few weeks and we've had a lot of people ask why so I'm gonna cut to the chase and let everyone know what's up.

We are sad to say that Lionel has chosen to leave the band for personal reasons. We wish him luck with whatever he chooses to do in the future. That being said our tour which was supposed to take place in November has been canceled as well as any local shows we had booked.

As for the future of the band, we're still unsure at this time. Myself (Andrew), Darcy and Kirk are continuing to play and write music together. So you can expect some new songs sometime down the road. As for what name it'll be under I'm not sure. But I assure everyone we aren't giving up and will always continue doing what we love, which is writing and touring.

We apologize to anyone who was looking forward to seeing us on tour. This came as a big shock to the three of us and we're still trying to settle everything.

To all the fans, friends, promoters, and anyone who had any involvement with No More Parachute we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The past 2 years have been filled with tons of memories, fun times and new friendships. I speak for all of us when I say it has been the best 2 years of our lives.

Please feel free to send any pictures, videos or stories of the band that you may have.
We hope to see all of you again very soon and hopefully we can make you sing along again!

Thanks again and we love you all.

Take Care,
Andrew

Hey everyone! We appologize for the wait but we're glad we can finally show it to you! Here's our music video for "Shoot With The Left"

Tell your friends to check it out!!

SHOOT WITH THE LEFT
Monday, June 23, 2008 

Current mood:  busy

Hey everyone! So we've been getting a lot of messages and comments lately regarding some very important issues... I'm gonna do my best to field your questions right now.

 

1) When are you touring again?

answer: We're currently in the process of booking a tour that will span accross most of Canada, It'll be starting in November and we'll have more details coming very very soon.

 

2) When are you coming to the states?

answer: I know we had said we'd be coming to the States in the fall. But it doesn't look like that'll be able to happen. We're still writing for our new full length album and until certain things are confirmed with recording dates and such we can't commit to any international touring. We appologize but I do promise we'll be there as soon as we possibly can. Keep listening and please don't hate us haha.

 

3) When is the music video coming out?

answer: VERY VERY SOON! Things got held up with the audio and some editing with the video. The director and staff on the video shoot were kind enough to do the video for next to nothing and volunteered their time. They are very busy people and we understand that they have other priorities. But we've been told that the video will be ready to come out super soon. We'll post a countdown as soon as we have an exact release date. Again we appologize for making everyone wait but trust me when I say it'll be worth it! Keep checking back for an announcement on the video!

4) When will you release new songs?

answer: Like I said we're still writing the new album. But we have started the demoing process and are gonna work hard to have a good quality version of a new song to post for everyone to check out. We're super happy with the way the new songs are going and we hope you'll like them too! Come to our shows on tour in November. We'll be playing lots of new songs and have lots of awesome updates for everyone!

 

That's all for now. By all means keep the questions coming. We don't mind answering them at all. I feel like a broken record for saying this but, KEEP CHECKING BACK! We appreciate everyone who listens to our songs everyday and leaves messages and comments. It makes our day. Keep em comin!

 

Thanks everyone. See you all very soon!

 

- Andrew

Hey It's Kirk!
It's been a while since Ive written anything on our page probably because I don't make sense most of the time. I'll give a shot at updating everyone anyways!

I'm just writing to let you guys know we have a new layout and some pictures we took of our routine soak and rub down. After each day of writing we are usually worn out and exhausted we have a hot tub party to vent and decompress from the everday stress of enjoying each others company.

We have been working hard at writing some tunes and just organizing our lives pretty much getting ready for the breathe before the plunge. There is alot of work that is needing to get done and we aren't the kind of people to bite off more then we can chew so be prepared to see more of us.

I'm sure everyone is going to read this and question how I graduated from High School with my grammar and sentence structure. I did it though! I guess that just proves how terrible our education system is.

Add me on Aim and talk to me I gotta get a camera so I can put up some video blogs! that sounds more fun then writing.

P.S check out how small my nipples are in our new photo's thats ridiculous!

Current mood:LINO MAN

::Break Me Down::

I got my caffeine fix this morning and my hit of nicotine.

Keep me glaring through cracked lenses, I cant help but stare.

Cross armed up at center, and just below your hair.

Your eyes met mine last November, I was all alone.

You picked me up and watched me fall down.

Red cheeks is what I remember.

Break me down and count me out.

Break me down, count me out and break me down.

Stiff legs heart filled with secrets, I wanna hear you say you need this.

Lips sealed so tight with no kiss, if I told you would you believe it?

If I let you know, we could take it slow.

Ill only be here for so long, here I am could this be so wrong?

Think about it, and please just say you need this, and here we go.

Break me into pieces, count me out, break me down.

Count up all the places, replay all the faces.

That count me out, and break me down.(you break me down)

Right here, right now you owe me this.

Break me into pieces, count me out, break me down.

Count up all the places, replay all the faces.

That count me out, and break me down.(you break me down)

You break me into pieces.

Your break me into pieces.

So just say you need this.

::Safe and Sound::

Get dressed up girl and don't forget that shine.

Make sure you get your make-up right, and in-between the lines.

Cause downtown city lights can only hold me up so high.

So watch me fall tonight, but don't let me fall behind.

This time it's safe to say that we're safe and sound for now.

But only for now, because I've seen this once before.

I can see write through you, but I can't believe my eyes.

If I keep looking hard enough, I think I'll lose my mind.

You should stick around and kiss me cause you want to.

Maybe spend the night? but not because you have to.

Don't breathe. Lets kiss and tell about the way you do, the way move.

So come on now let me lay you down, come on now.

I can see write through you, but I can't believe my eyes.

If I keep looking hard enough, I think I'll lose my mind.

All ready time to go now.

Break it down tonight before we fall behind.

And leave it to the light to see what we can find.

::Cut Me Up Baby::

Cut me up baby, spill everything I lack.

Stitch everything up at the seams, I'm not coming back.

I'm not asking for your sympathy, I'm not for you and me.

Point you're finger once or twice, I can take the blame.

Grab the crowds attention now, the stage is your's don't let it down.

Turn some heads and move some feet, you're just the flavor of the week.

Wash the prints up on the wall, careful now don't slip and fall.

Watch the ship sink take the lies, drowning now we lost our lives.

O4-05-01, all along you won.

You took this too far, you took this to far.

I cant believe in anything when everything means nothing.

O4-05-01, all along you won.

You took this too far, you took this to far.

Across the line, we'll leave this all behind.

Oh baby please just leave me, please just me behind.

::Shoot With The Left::

Twist one up oh; keep this under lock and key for me please.(oh for me please).

This isn't as complex as this seems, strictly red eyes and rips from magazines.

Jump to conclusions about these lines, figure them out then hey that's just fine.

To the night life.

To the night life.

Shoot with the left, and hit it with the right.

Shake it off your lips, and smile if you're alright.

Oh we're having fun tonight.

Shoot with the left, and hit it with the right.

Shake it off your lips, and smile if you're alright.

To the night life, this is our life.

Round and round we go all alone.

It's all we've known spinning these nights away carelessly.

Without direction we hit the ground with passion, as a reflection of home.

We go silently without a sound, we're under cover when we're lost and found.

Oh we were lost and found, oh we were lost and found.

Oh we're having fun tonight.

Shoot with the left, and hit it with the right.

Shake it off your lips, and smile if you're alright.

To the night life, this is our life.

Shoot with the left, and hit it with the right.

Shake it off your lips, and smile if you're alright.

To the nightlife, this is our life.

Shoot with the left, and hit it with the right.

Shake it off your lips, and smile if you're alright.

To the nightlife, this is our life.

This is home.

::Push On::

As everyday goes by, I feel every tear that you cry.

And you cry, and you cry, and we know that you tried.

But when loves not enough to keep us here forever.

Then mom, I think that it's time to let go.

Take a step back and say goodbye, just push on for our sake try.

Take a look back on all the years, it won't make up for all the tears.

You cried, oh we know, we know you tried, oh we know.

You tried so hard to find a way out of here.

When you've seen this before, you've been here before.

So many times we have lost our way, so many times we're left with nothing to say.

Just push on. Just push on and say goodbye.

Maybe not today but we're gonna be okay.

Just push on.

::Basics Now::

Get! Get! Get! Just get away, anything you want, you wanna say.

Over and over, over and over. You said, you said.

All we are is just another line, a stupid song that's out of time.

That I wont play back, I wont play back, you wont let me.

Let! Let! Let me get away, call me on the words I didn't say.

If you want payback, you want payback? I'll sing my way to you.

Oh to you, I'll sing my way to you.

Let it go, Let her go.

Back up basics now, take it all in stride.

Falling off the tracks again, I hate that fucking ride.

And again and again.

If you want payback, then I wont play back(I wont play that).

I cant get away, I cant get away, I cant get away.

Let it go, Let her go.

Back up basics now, take it all in stride.

Falling off the tracks again, I hate that fucking ride.

And again and again.

::Miles Away::

Do the girls in California have the same blue eyes as you?

That can keep the fire burning, but can't keep this key from turning away.

Yeah your miles away.

Distance is what controls me while im lying here on my back.

With attention undivided it's last call for getaways.

And im leaving you responsible for my responsibilities.

Cause quite honestly she's got me, cause her lips were laced with poison.

So please haunt me, cause I can barely feel you here.

Ill leave a flower on the shore that's just for us and nothing more.

Ill hold the tide so it wont wash away.

Ill keep a shy eye on you. Your miles away.

Flipping through the pages of our last conversation.

Find an explanation.

It's hard to justify! Wrap it up now, lets back it up now.

Ill leave a flower on the shore that's just for us and nothing more.

Ill hold the tide so it wont wash away.

Ill keep a shy eye on you. Your miles away.

Shy eyes, and midnight skies can keep this bed of stars from spilling all that lies.

Beneath this melody, it's plain to see that this could be all we need.

::Spin That Record::

I can see that your anxious tonight.

Your hands are shaking, your knees are breaking, YEAH!

We cant go back on words marked in stone, you're not alone, we're all alone.

Just so you know, I'll give you.

Two thumbs up and a side high five, pretty little moves and the lovely news.

I say, Spin that Record.

Two thumbs up and side high five, won't make up for the pretty little lies

That I say. Spin that Record girl.

Brace yourself and hold on tight, nothing I can say or do can make this right.

Make sure you let me know when to hit the lights, these are my intentions for tonight, I'll say.

Just for the record., over and over I've been playing off a heartbeat.

Lets set these sheets on fire, leave some lipstick to remember.

That these moves weren't invited, weren't invited under silence.

Two thumbs up and a side high five, pretty little moves and the lovely news.

I say, Spin that Record.

Two thumbs up and side high five, won't make up for the pretty little lies

That I say. Spin that Record girl.

Lets set these sheets on fire, leave some lipstick to remember.

That these moves weren't invited, weren't invited under silence.
