Hey Gang // Brian Here

I would like to personally apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us this spring, but much to our own dismay, we've been forced to cancel and reschedule our North American Tour. As some of you may have heard, I underwent emergency surgery on April 24th for a perforated ulcer, and despite my will to play, my body was been dangerously weakened from the surgery and resulting hospitalization.

Unfortunately, after consulting with my doctor, I have been forced to accept that my recovery (aka powering up) will take approximately 6 weeks, including 2-3 weeks of severely limited physical activity (i.e no rocking out). Therefore, we've had no choice but to reschedule all of our live dates within the next 6 weeks (i.e. our entire first tour). I know that the constant shuffling of dates is disappointing and confusing, and believe me, no one is more frustrated than we are. Dave and I were looking forward to this tour more than anyone else, and we had been counting down to it as if it were Christmas morning.

Our new, sadly more realistic goal is to we return to playing live in mid-June. Our next live show will be at the Music Waste Festival here in Vancouver on June 13th, with a new, never ending tour beginning June 24th. This tour will Christopher Cross North America for the rest of 2009, so stay tuned for many more dates to be announced. To quench your thirst for rock, we will soon be posting online a full live set from our February 7th show at the Cobalt here in Vancouver. The footage is very raw and there is absolutely zero sound editing, so it is 'just like you were there'. Feel free to boo into your computer screen for added realism.

I hope everyone is staying crazy/forever // See you soon // Unwashed and slightly dazed // X

THE BOYS ARE LEAVING TOWN
(brian)

the boys are leaving town
the boys are leaving town
the boys are leaving town
now

will we find our way back home?
i don't know


YOUNG HEARTS SPARK FIRE
(brian)

we finished our old lives
like we finished off the wine
now we're used to staying up all night
two hearts beating
oh yeah, oh yeah

you can keep tomorrow
after tonight, we're not going to need it
beat up, beat down, wet ground
but too drunk to feel it

we used to dream
now we worry about dying
i don't want to worry about dying
i just want to worry about those sunshine girls

young hearts
spark fire
all night
oh yeah, oh yeah

you can keep tomorrow
after tonight, we're not going to need it
beat up, beat down, wet ground
but too drunk to feel it

we used to dream
now we worry about dying

i don't want to worry about dying
i just want to worry about those sunshine girls


WET HAIR
(brian)

she had wet hair
say what you will
i don't care
i couldn't resist it

these girls are all bikini kill
we need a ride to bikini island

we run the gauntlet
must get to france
so we can french kiss some french girls


ROCKERS EAST VANCOUVER
(dave)

we used to go out
get drunk and get sad
good friends
but this town
and this scene
has gone bad

we kept waiting
but still nothing changes
it's a shame

tired
old youth
burnt right out
we kept waiting
but still nothing changes
it's a shame

all those past dues
all those bad moods
all those half truths
all those sad tunes
you wrote while you wasted away

your big break was what you wanted
a little change was what you needed
your big break was what you wanted
it's a shame


HEART SWEATS
(brian)

your heart is as cold as ice girl
and i should know
i've been to the north pole

your soul is as black as death girl
and i should know
i have crossed the threshold

your style is such a mess girl
and i should know
i used to date a stylist

and still my heart sweats

xoxox
xox
some hearts bleed
our hearts sweat


CRAZY/FOREVER
(brian)

we'll stick together forever
stay sick together
be crazy forever


SOVEREIGNTY
(brian)

forget their blessing and forget the weather
we'll join our christian names together
write all our friends back home

we'll leave tonight and we'll leave together
i'll say what airline and you'll said whatever
leave all our friends back home

you'll talk of sons and i'll talk of daughters
we'll find a little place by the water
worry all our friends back home

i'll do the talking and you'll write the letters
i'll sing the beatles and you'll sing them better
forget all our friends back home

it's raining
in vancouver
but i don't give a fuck
because i'm far from home tonight

it's raining
in vancouver
but i don't give a fuck
because i'm alone with you tonight


I QUIT GIRLS
(brian)

she wears white
six days a week

she was just
one of those girls

and if you're lucky
on the seventh day
she'll wear nothing

she was just
one of those girls

after her
i quit girls
