Who Gives Kudos:


Wednesday, May 25, 2005 

Current mood:  gloomy
hey everyone, heres a little more info: Due to financial complications and situations arising out of our control, we decided, as a band, it would be better those involved to discontinue the band. There are no words that can describe the love we feel for anyone who has supported our goofy scene over the years, and believe me we will never forget it. I (and the the boys) gave everything we had into this band for many years , and changed our lives for the better. Sometimes ya gotta know when to fold'em while still feeling positive. To all the fans, promoters, bands, friends we've had the pleasure of meeting, thank you we are truly sorry. Jay Sinclair

Sorry to hear the news. We here at Surreal Productions have been fans of you guys for sometime. I'm sure the decision to do this was difficult but knowing you guys it was the right one. Sad we're not going to see you on Friday. All the best.

Wow, this is pretty shitty to hear. I saw you guys in Victoria a few weeks ago and I was surprised at the turnout, especially compared to the packed show you played in TO in February. You guys were leagues above the average punk rock band, and easily one of the funnest bands to watch time after time, even if I was just bobbing my head. And Graham is easily the fastest diverse player out there, I'm blown away every time I watch. Anyways, all the best!

The saddness totally is shocking & really meeting you guys was such a great pleasure & such a great time.

I really will never forget you guys & working with you.
Also when two of you came out in those little jackets out of the back room & then the scary mask with the tu-tu b4 the show started.

Also while i talk to a friend on msn tonight he reminds me about you guys & how I did the last ontario show for you guys.
It was an amazing show in it's self but wow that's just one huge shocker right there.

You played for an hour and a half 21-22 songs & also two songs you never played live b4.

Working with you has to be one of the biggest highlights in promoting,
I just like man april 30th wasn't that long ago & it just feels like really it was yesturday b/c the time has flowen right by.

So much respect so much luv & also steve you were there for me though that tought time & i will never forget that really it makes me think so much & keepin in there.

I will never forget it & the hard work you guys have done for the past 10 years has been one of the most amazin things in punk rock.

Love to bits
Gillian Straightup!

If it's money that you need, I'll give you everything that I own. I'll sell my bass because it's no use to me if you guys aren't together. you're the reason that I got into the bass, if you do another show please make it somewhere in Ontario. i don't give a fuck where I'll come. I was at the Burlington show and actually met you guys, it was the best day of my life.

When my brother told me the news i thought that he was just playing a mean joke on me. I didn't believe him, and i still can't believe that I'm writing this begging you not to do this. I can't even listen to your music, thats how much it hurts. just please don't do this.....

I'm still waiting to wake up from this awful nightmare, that is haunting me. Thanx for all the laughs, and good music

you'll be missed

I'll always love my favourite band.

Well, I hope we get to hang out in Calgary and Edmonton on our tour in July. We are all pretty bummed about this. Love you guys and take care of yourselves. I know how tough a decision this can be after dealing with it myself in the past. Keep positive about each other and keep playing music regardless of who it is with.

PERISH (new/final tunes up)

 
Wow guys what can I say?? You are the greatest guys I know, and the greatest band I know. Seriously, had it not been for you guys I wouldn't have been this serious into music. When I first saw you guys I was completely blown away, and was so motivated. I've seen you guys like 20 times since then and you were always better than the time before. Scott......dude..... I have two guitar heroes. One was Dime, the other IS you. So melodic, yet so rippin'. Your music has given me so much homework, and in doing so taught me so much. I hope you'll still be up for jammin and recording some bop tunes or something with me when I'm done school. Thank you too Steve and Jay for teaching me so much about being in a band. Graham...you kill dude. And thank you all for being so approachable at all times. Never turned me down when I've approached you guys, and I can imagine I've been slightly annoying. You guys are such genuine and nice guys, that I'm sure you'll make the best of this. Thank you very much for all the years of great music, memories, and for doing so well at remembering names and faces when you've seen 1000's since the last time around. Anytime you want a place to crash in Toronto you know where to reach me.

man, this sucks so bad. I think Belvedere was the first local calgary band that I bought a cd for. I'm super bummed about this, and even more bummed I couldn't make it to any of their shows in calgary here this past weekend.

Well you guys had an awesome run, and I wish you luck in the future. All your releases are absolutley awesome cds all you dudes are super nice guys.

keep given'r boys.

Hey guys,
I'm sad to hear the news, was hoping to at least catch you guys for one last show. You are amazing, ever since I first heard you I was hooked. Well, best of luck with everything that comes your way!

Dudes, just gotta say thanks for being Canada's finest example of a 'band'. When you guys weren't touring tirelessly, you were helping out other touring bands and being a fine example of how bands/dudes are supposed to be in our scene. You set the bar for other bands and were always an inspiration. Some of my best memories are BC hall shows with Belvedere 4 or 5 years ago. I'm just sad I didn't check out the last few shows in Toronto. You're amazing musicians and I can't wait to hear any new projects. Stephan (x-Wishing Well).

my lawyer made me change my name. |t.s.u.b.|

 
We were looking forward to your show in Brandon soooo much, but I guess it's that time for you. You've got a billion fans, so if you ever change your minds [hope, hope, hope], we'll be here a waiting. Have some kind of final show in the middle of the country or something, so we can all make it :P.

belvedere love.

Hey guys I don't wanna pry on ur pesonal lives....but I have a question that lingers in the back of my mind. How does a band break up because of financial dificulties, which lots of bands have....and just turn around and start a new band? isn't that kinda negative pregression?....starting at the bottom again so to speak? U just got a video on much sometimes and MTV and all the people wasting their lives away listening to forced fed radio music r just getting a chance to hear a good band. If u ask me ur financial situation was bound to get better. Anyways I have loved ur music for 9 years now...lot's of good memories and I apprerciate it greatly, but it's too bad my last memory of my favorite band is that were forced to give up. I wish the best for u all, and thank u for all the good times. Hey on the positive side...I can't get sick of ur music, so I'll still have something to listen 2.

One more question: Is this a final decission written in stone? or if the tides change could I possibly see Belvedere together again? Take care guys and good luck with whatever it is u choose to do.
