Boarding Kennel For Crumbello is a demo that we recorded over a year ago but never put up on our sites. Mainly because I feel that there's some technically loose moments, and some of the lyrics have been re-written. I'm sure many of you have sought out demos by your favorite artists, only to be disappointed when the official album versions get released, because your favorite parts didn't make the final cut. But I feel that part of being a good artist is also being a good editor, so this demo should only serve as an idea of what the final product will sound like. The title comes from our Jack-Russell, Mr. Crumb, who had the misfortune of spending almost two weeks, during Christmas a few years ago, in a boarding kennel. When I returned from Poland, I found him despondent and emaciated. Because of this I decided to use dog metaphors for some of the awkward living arrangements and unwanted guests that we used to get at our G.P. Stable. Since the squeegee punks moved out from next door, a couple of months ago, it's been relatively quiet. Only a few squatters and broken doors.
If you live in Montreal catch us on Sunday, March 9th with

Zoobizarre. Also I would like to thank everyone who's shared their opinion and offered suggestions about our name-change dilemma. We've got a few pages of possible band names on our fridge that we keep adding to, but they are mostly sex-joke names such as, THE TITY FUCKS, VAGINA OF THE MIND, or LIBERAUNCHY. Some more serious ones we've come up with are, USE DYNAMITE, VOODOO MECHANICS, or $$$$$$$. I have a feeling this search is long from over.
