Hey, all! It's been awhile and we have some news to share with you.

We recently got an opportunity to contribute a brand new, unreleased song and perform in an upcoming NAC Production called Karanfil/Carnation.

"Laura Taler brings us on a site-specific cinematic journey through the National Arts Centre’s theatrical underworld where the art of crafting private dreams is made public. While conjuring a ninety-nine-year-old photo of Bronislava Nijinska, Taler poses a series of questions about performance, the fallibility and concreteness of language, and the practice of turning the self inside out."

Featuring musical performances by Megan Jerome and Expanda Fuzz, music by Turkwaz and Demetrios Petsalakis, performance and costumes by Marisa Gallemit, wet plate photography by Christine Fitzgerald, and cinematography by Wassim Nohra. 

Karanfil/Carnation is a National Arts Centre commission, created with residency support from Ottawa Dance Directive.

Such a fantastic time celebrating Mushy Gushy's new EP 'Bodybreak' at Irene's this past weekend!

Their new record is a scorcher of a pop-rock n roll ride and their live set does not disappoint. Thanks for having us fellas!

We helped raise over $8000 ($8073.44 to be exact!) for Ottawa-Rape-Crisis-Centre at this weekend's The ByTown Cup events! 

Big thanks to everyone who came out to rock with us at Beyond the Pale Brewing Company, bid on all those silent auction goodies and hung out for this inaugural fun and inclusive hockey tournament. 

We're honoured to have been a part of such a positive community event! 

Thanks to Coastal Pigs for taking this solid Warhol vibe pic of our set. ??
