Elation Music Video Release
Our music video for Elation was released today! Filmed in the dead of winter in an vacant building in Winnipeg's Exchange District, it was really damn cold and scary. But we held it together and I think you'll agree that it looks wicked. A huge thanks to Phoebe Chard and Max Harrison for putting this together.

Canadian Music Week and New Members
It's coming up fast -- our showcase at Canadian Music Week is next week! We're excited to head back to Toronto so soon after our last tour. Two months seems to be our average for hitting the city over the past half year. You can buy tickets here, and check out our CMW profile.
However, it's with sadness that we announce the departure of Dan Kazuk and Matt Morison from the group. Morison has been with us for almost 3 years now, and has been an invaluable part of this band. We will miss his double entendre jokes and energizing presence in the studio and on the stage. Kazuk will also be missed. Without his commitment to all those late practices and long drives, we would have never been able to accomplish all that we have over the past year. It's been a hell of a run with these two in the band, and we wish them all the best.
But the best is yet to come for us as we plan for the future. Our showcase at CMW will show off our two new members of the band: Terrell and Tyler. They're champions and we're excited to have them on board. If you live in Winnipeg, you can catch them live with us for the first time on March 13 at The Windsor (check out the Facebook event). We'll be performing some new material that we intend on releasing later this year!
Alright, that's it for now! Oh, and remember to check out our shows section for regular updates.
Cheers,
Austman

January Tour!
We're home from our first dates in western Canada, and we're very grateful to all the bands who played with us, friends who drank beer with us, and friends who let us sleep under their roof. It was a great weekend, and we'll be back out that way in the spring.
On January 3rd we head east! Ten days between Winnipeg and Montréal, running through the United States. Head over to our shows section to find out more details!

Winter Rumblings
Despite what some may say, winter is not the time to lock yourself away with a pile of books, movies, and rye. We're finalizing another eastern tour for January, and are hitting the studio for a new single in December.

Home and Hunkering Down
We're home from our most recent Eastern tour, and first shows in America. Thank you to everyone who booked us, did sound for us, played with us, came to see our shows, and let us sleep on their floors. We had a blast!
The next few months will see us focused on writing and recording our next release, but we'll be playing shows in Winnipeg, and expect an announcement about Western Canada soon. Looking forward to more of everything.

An Intermittent Reflection
The past month has been exciting, adventerous, busy, stressful, and rewarding. Our reception on the road was humbling and fulfilling. We owe a huge thanks to the bands we shared the stages with, the people who hung around to watch us despite never knowing about us, and our bad ass blue van for carrying us through the wrong drives.
Excluding a couple days rest, we haven't stopped working. Our days are consumed by writing, working to pay the bills, and recording. We've bonded immensely over the past month, and this has produced a new dynamic in the band. Expect news about a bleeding heart Canadian record in the months to come.
We hit the road again in less three weeks. Back to Montreal, through Southern Ontario, and then into America during the prime of their presidential campaign. Keep up to date on Facebook and Twitter.

New EP, Touring
We're actively working on pre-production of our new EP, which we are slating for a spring 2013 release. I'm not sure how to describe the songs we're coming up with, but it's expanding from some of the main veins we explored in All These Chocies.
As for touring, we're hitting the road for a short stint at the beginning of August. Its been a long time coming, but we're looking forward to interacting with new audiences. We'll be heading out east again a month and half later, from mid-September to the beginning of October.
After that, we'll be heading into the studio in November.
Oh, and check out this stripped down version of Mantra we did at UMFM in Winnipeg a couple weeks ago.
Lots of love,
Austman

Bright Horizons
Matt Morison may have ruptured his achilles tendon playing ultimate frisbee, but it's Louis Reil day in Manitoba, and we have a new music video to show off! And hey, he can still drum during his recovery, so we haven't cancelled anything.
Things are pickin' up, so stay tuned, okay? Do it.
