Life is balance. Half of the time I’m wondering what the hell is wrong with me and the other half I’m amazed at how much I love your fucking ass.
But right now – the rain has pulled all the dust from the air. It smells like the first kiss you ever had with the coolest person you’ve ever met.
And then it’s all down hill from there.
The hate of winter is near.
And speaking of hate I went to the Liberal Party of Canada fund raiser at the PUSH Art Gallery on St. Laurent. No I don’t hate the Liberal Party or any party (maybe the Yogic Flyers but that’s just cuz their too damn happy to be alive). I just hate people. And this isn’t good for social situations like this. It makes me stand by myself. A little cloud of self loathing for even being there swirling above my head.
Justin Trudeau was the guest of honor – he showed up in cell-phone form because he was on the Campaign trail in North Bay – understandable – but a little bit funny too. His lovely wife held him up for all to hear (Pregnant women are so goddamn hot don’t you think?). I was drinking down as much free wine as I could. I wondered if the people there ‘d ask me to stop. I kind of wanted them to. I would have said “It’s alright, I’m an artist. It’s my job.”
But there were Cultural Industrialists there that could have easily claimed the same thing. But really how can a 84 Billion dollar a year business have anything to do with art? Someone is making money somewhere – but it sure as fuck isn’t the artists.
And if you ever thought about voting – try this shit jacket on for size. This 84 billion dollar a year business of culture is supposedly going to be funded, in some fucked up Conservative Party theory, by 24 million dollars per year. Oh but it gets better – they’ll only give that 24 million (which is about the same amount as Stephen Harper spends on his summer cottage) to those few who are conforming to party standards and values of art. Let’s all sing together “Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alas!” [Read more →]
Well, I gotta say were very happy about that review of the NXNE show we played in Toronto – A huge thanks to Fridae, you rock!
Here’s a little something:
“These dudes were ridiculously good, the guitars were phenomenal, the riffs were wild, it has been a very long time since I heard an actual Metal band that play what they claim.”
The cool folks at Indie Solo will feature TGON next Wednesday, June 25th. Indie Solo features a new artist everyday, be sure to check ‘em out!

So, that’s about it for now! Come say hi in Toronto next week-end, and in the meantime, here’s a little something:
Hey all, I know many of you are wondering what’s going on behind the scenes, so I thought I’d let you know. We’ve been spending a lot of time in the studio lately, working on the album, sipping on JD and all (you know… rock’n'roll is hard work!), and the album is almost there! We’re working on te album cover too (which, I have a feeling will kick some serious ass)
We haven’t decided on a specific date for the launch yet, but of course we’ll keep you posted.
