Young Pioneers

Here's Young Pioneers, give it a listen: Young Pioneers by uncut

New Release: Split 7"

Wow, it has been a while since we've released anything! We've been working on recording our new album for ages and it is coming, but in the meantime we've decided to release a new single on a split 7-inch with our friends Few and Far Between from Detroit/Brooklyn. Elkion Records is being kind enough to press up the vinyl and put the record out. The artwork was created by renowned artist & designer Mark Penxa, you can check out his work here.

Anyone who has seen us in one of our rare appearances over the last couple of years has probably heard this song, it's called Young Pioneers. If you'd like to purchase the limited edition vinyl release you can order it here. The record is now on available on iTunes and can be purchased at the link below.

Talk to you soon!

Shocking News

We're playing a show. Weird, right? Anyhow, it's tonight, it's at Sneaky Dee's and we're on at 9pm. Ben Rayner over at The Star previewed us as such: "Perpetual underdogs but also perpetually awesome on the live front. The new stuff takes their coiled post-punk menace to pleasingly heavy and aggressive places. Where the hell is that third album?"

Them Bones

We played a show at a west-end Toronto loft in support of our buddies Dinosaur Bones a couple of weeks ago. It was a total blast. In addition to the pictures (see all of them here) there's a little bit of us in this video, which you might enjoy watching.

In the Studio

The Silver Screen

Guess what? We're going to be in a movie. We filmed the scene -- a battle of the bands -- yesterday.

Saturday Night Special

Just a reminder that Bishop Morocco (a band that I play guitar in) will be playing its very first show on Saturday night at Whippersnapper Gallery.

Josh Reichmann will be opening up; Jaime Sin and Mikey Apples will be DJing throughout the night. The live music starts at about 11. Short sets, so don't be late.

Also, there's a nice little blurb about the band in Now -- read it here.

Bishop Morocco

Since I seem to love talking about myself so much on here, I thought I might as well tell you kids about the band Bishop Morocco. My friends Jake Fairley (ex-Uncut and current techno superstar) and James Sayce (who was in The Deadly Snakes and Tangiers) decided to live in Gronigen and make a record. Said record is really good and will be coming out on Hand Drawn Dracula sometime in the near future.

They asked me to (or maybe I forced them to let me) play some guitar in the live version of the band, which is now the three of us and a big dancehall style soundsystem in lieu of a drummer.

We're playing for the first time on July 11 at Whipper Snapper in Toronto. Although I'm quite nervous about it, I still want you to come out and see us play.

Mondays

I used to have a regular Tuesday night with my friend Greg where we played records and drank beers at Sweaty Betty. Lots of people seemed to like it and it was fun to do. Well, we're doing the same thing again, except this time it's on Monday nights and it's at Red Light.

You should come out sometime.

Japan Footage

I recently found some footage of our trip to Japan and decided to edit it together. Sadly, nothing of us actually playing. You can't have everything though, now can you?

Watch it here. Sorry, but it's too wide to fit into the blog.
