Yeah we go on tours. No big deal.

Please Standby had a boner of a weekend. We went to 73 in St. Catharines on Friday night to play with our comrade Smilecase and Something Fatal. I hate to admit that, despite the sign on the window which specifically said "No Outside Food or Drink", I did in fact eat a spicy veggie pita inside. Which I still think was a healthy decision, unlike my decision to punch in a $2.00 tip on the debit thingy while I was paying for it, which brought the pita up into the $8.00 range if you count the bottle of water I had. It has definitely been a while since I saw so many drunk people in one place. Maybe I need to get out more. I don't necessarily mean 73, I mean the street outside, since apparently everyone in St. Catharines forgets about the other streets on Fridays. Also saw some sweet posters for Neil Peart (I think I spelled that wrong). So Neil Peeert must be coming to town soon. I'm sure you could google that or something. Saturday was a also a day to play a show as a band. Last night we were Tigerpanther, since we recently lost our old singer due to him being a primadonna. So our first show back as Tigerpanther went swimmingly. At Marcello's (where I now have multiple beers on tabs so no big deal). We played with our friends Cactus Bran and Japanese Beaver are Canadian, who, tragically, are now no longer a band. I'm incredibly bummed about this because those dudes WERE the hotness. Now all we have to look forward to is beardless derivative 16-year-old JBAC poser hardcore bands with expensive guitars. Fucks. To which I decisively say "Not Attending". I was drunk, as was Matt, but Matt was also crying all night, so I figure Tigerpanther is due for a breakup. Keep an eye out for Please Standby's upcoming third iteration as "Captain Bringdown and the Sournotes". I would also like to point out that as of Saturday I learned that our new cd (you can get a copy on amazon.com) has been played both on a helicopter over a forest fire as well as on a radio station. Suck on that, Bedouin Soundclash. That is all.

Katsu!

Hey people. You might know us personally or you might not. Either way, I'm prepared to share deep secrets with you with or without my colleague Matt's permission. Check in to recieve up-to-the-fiscal quarter updates about fun band facts such as:

-Have I started wearing deodorant yet?
-What is Matt's real hair colour?
-Can we actually bench one another despite a lack of any real photographic evidence?

And more!
If that doesn't pop your bone then check your god damn pulse.
