Hey everyburrrrdy.

Sorry if we've been lacking on the blogatory front lately. We've been busy little bees, we promise.

We just got home from the beautiful/inexpensive/warm United States of America with our best pals in The Chariot, Oh Sleeper, and We Came As Romans. We had a great time, and occasionally - when we weren't busy shielding ourselves from the wrecking ball that is The Chariot (@THECHARIOTJAMS) - we had some awesome care free hangouts and even went so far as to indulge in a few beverages and some num-nums (That means food). Everybody should also go check out Oh, Sleeper (@WEAREOHSLEEPER) 'cause theyre WAY better than you at playing music.

But really, we had an amazing time with everybody. It was a great tour with great bands and even greater friends. I'll definitely miss stage dives and crowd surfing in inappropriate places. We'll also miss somebody getting knocked out freezin' every 13 seconds during our set. I guess kids in the US dig being involuntarily put to sleep...which is cool...I guess?

Anyways, moving forward.

We're finally home, which means we HAVE to play at least a few rock and roll gigs here in the great white North. Where you ask? Well fuckin' listen, and obey.

We'll be playing @ The Mansion (formerly The Foundation) on November 25th in Barrie, ON! Come out and remind us why we chose to be born in this hellishly cold country. Yes, you read that correctly. We chose to be born here. Go to the Facebook Event Page here DEAD AND DIVINE @ THE MANSION - NOVEMBER 25TH and invite your friends! Re-tweet it on Twitter. Re-gloopty-glop it on Blurm-Dudler-Ting-ism. I don't know anything about social networking anymore, the point is: Do whatever you have to do on the applicable tell-everybody-everything-about-yourself-shitting-twice-caughing-eating-Skittles-up-your-butt website you've subscribed to.

Finally, please remember to GO PICK UP A COPY OF THE MACHINES WE ARE! It's in stores RIGHT NOW, so go buy a copy! Fuck, steal it for all I care. Just have it. If you don't live in Canada (ie. United States, UK/Europe, etc), YOU CAN GO TO OUR US/INTERNATIONAL WEB STORE. Keep requesting Neon Jesus on MuchMusic! Call them, email them, text them, just keep this video rolling! You guys have helped so much, you have no idea. No excuses! If you don't help us, we'll be left with no choice but to Goose* you, and that shit is WHACK.

We love you. Come to Barrie. Tell your friends. New Canadian dates posted soon, as well as more US tours! Stay tuned for a new single/video, and some more fun stuff!

Also, the lovely folks at Macbeth have been kind enough to welcome us to their family. Please go check out their awesome foot-savers! They've been keepin' our toes from fallin' off, and I need my toes to press pedals that make me sound like I'm a mediocre guitar player. So in reality, Macbeth is helping our band play better. Shit, I used pedals in the studio, so I guess Macbeth is actually helping us record our records too. Either way, go check them out and show some love, they're the BEST: MACBETH

Onelove,
Dead and Divine
