Double Duty Squared

We're playing Velvet Underground Saturday, May 1st. The show's gonna be a lot of fun. It's the band's first weekend gig, and we won't have another one for a little while as our bassist Jason is getting married and trooping off to Europe with his blushing bride.

That Saturday's gonna be mad hectic. Zack's pulling a Toronto Phil Collins that night, playing first over at the Drake with Bella Clava before boarding his private jet to fly over to the Velvet for our set an hour later. The man, as you doubtless already know, is a machine. And at our show, Jason's gonna be pulling double-duty as well, playing with us and first with guests Clockwise. They'll be awesome, breaking out a set of pure power-pop before they head to the UK to play the International Pop Overthrow festival in Liverpool. There they'll be playing the legendary Cavern Club.... how cool is that? And their Velvet performance will top off a day of recording a wicked new track. And the next day, the Brigade boys head into the studio ourselves, pressing relentlessly forward on our debut full-length, The Defiant Ones.

Phew.

Everybody's working for the weekend, indeed.
