So the rest of the tour this summer was great. After three years of trying to make it out east to Toronto we finally made it with no trouble. We landed V.I.P at the Toronto Warped Tour and had the time of our life. Warped Tour was amazing, tons of great bands. Thanks to Domenica and all the Venues for making the tour a blast. We are back home and working on some new songs, keep posted for DTV Cribz ( Episode 8, check YouTube for previous vids). We also hope to have a video for A Perfect Day before the end of the year.  We are taking a short trip out west in October with our bros in Xplicit and have plans to head south to the States for early 2010.  We were honored to be one of the four winners for Power 97 Rockin the 204. This was suppose to land us a spot on the Rock on the Range Festival in Canada but because of time constraints none of the bands ended up playing. We still got V.I.P passes and got to hang with some great people. Also thanks to all our fans who voted for us in The Best of Winnipeg edition of The Uptown Magazine, "A Taste of What's to Come" was voted top three in new albums and also new artist. We are opening for Thornely and playing The Grand Beach Rock Show for our last two shows of August. Keep posted for show dates and pictures from the summer (Check Pics and Vids). We are still all living together in the same house and are looking forward to pushing some ideas we have brewing. All the boys are feeling good, determined and ready for a challenge. Night of the living Dread IV "Release the Beast" will be our fifth anual Halloween show at The Zoo October.31st in Winnipeg, always a gong show. Thanks every body for all the support, we will try and keep you updated a little more frequent. We are also happy to announce that "A Taste of What's to Come" is now distributed through EMI in Canada. All the best everyone, we'll talk soon!

What can I say, being on the road is great. Mike Wagner who who has taken over the low end is feeling right at home and we are all geting along so great and having a lot of fun. He is five shows in and we have never had a chunckier bass sound, good job Mike.This is by far the best tour we have ever been on. Everyshow has been solid, lots of people, good bands, good sound and we are playing great. Thanks to all the promoters, venues and bands for lining up some great shows. We played and stayed in a haunted hotel in Drumheller called The New Castle, that was a fun night. We played in Canmore last night to a room full of tourist and people from all around the world. There is something special about Canmore, can't wait to go back. We are in Edmonton right now waiting to play at the Jet Night Club tomorrow night and The Zoo in Hinton Alberta on Saturday. Want to throw a shout out to our boys in "Today I Caught the Plaque" who we shared the stage with for our first few shows. We had a great time with all of you and can't wait to meet up with you again, you guys were great. We have met alot of amazing people already and are having a blast. We'll keep kicking ass on the road, cheers!!

Steve and the boys!!!

p.s. If our gps tells us to make a legal u turn one more time we are going to smash it , lol !!

Let's get everyone up to speed! In the previous blog you can read The Uptown article on us and that will bring you up to the end of the summer. In September Randy moved out of the Dreadnaut house with his girlfriend and moved to his moms to help out. Randy then grew distant from the band and was rarely around. He showed up to play the Oct.31st Halloween Show and Dec.31st New Year's show. After the New Year's show it became apparent that Randy was no longer interested in playing in the band. He wanted to stay in the city and stay close to his family. Randy left the band January.1st and jumped right in to school and has been working very hard at becoming a heavy duty mechanic. He and his family are doing very well and we wish them nothing but the best, he is still a great friend of the band.

We started to spread the word amoungst friends that we were looking for a bass player. We had a few people try out and a couple close friends offer to help out for a while. We were able to play a show in Thompson with Anthony Bradbury on the bass in January which was a huge help. As of right now we have Mike Smoljanovic (the guitarist from the band Coda) filling in on the low end. He offered to help us out and was very enthusiastic. He came to a couple jams and was able to learn the songs instantly. We are excited to share the stage with him over the next couple months, thanks Mike.

 Dreadnaut has started writing for the next album and has been working on getting some up to date media pulled out of the vault. There is a lot of material to go through and the old computer is a little slow these days, maybe time for a new one. O and get this, our distributing company has declared bankruptcy so the money they owed us on all our album sales since July are not going to be seen,
 unbelievable, so that that's the cherry on the cake, whatever we'll survive.

Can't wait to see Mindless Self Indulgence in three weeks, and also BLS and Dope!!!! Lamb of God, and As I Lay Dying in April!!!! We also have a bunch of shows coming up and a couple tours in the works so keep posted for dates. Keep posted as there will be some more blogs to come.

P.s. Dime Bag Darrell "He Came to Rock". Great fucking book and dvd, a must have for any Pantera lover. Cheers to Dime!!!! Currently listening to new Mudvayne, Dope, Papa Roach, Mindless Self Indulgence, 3oh!3, NIN, Five Finger Death Punch and New Lamb of God!!
