WIDGET

Yo check out our widget. You can hear music on it:



Also sorry we are so far behind - we got very busy for like 750 days straight so we weren't able to crank out a high quality 16+ minute song every year ha. We are working on the next one though! Should be ready by 2067.

HI



Hi, there isn't really anything new to report but things were getting a bit buggy so thought for all yr sakes I'd do an update so we could let bygones be bygones. So you should know already about all the shows we have coming up soon:
-January 29 in Kingston (Jamaica)
-Feb 10 in the Bahamas on the Bruise Cruise
-Feb 17 at Steam-whistle brewery in Toronto (Year of the Tiger)
-Feb 25 in Montreal for Nuit Blanche (we are doing Davide Allons-y a Vie)

I seriously have nothing else to really post here cause we've been on break for while. OK here are the lyrics to Year of the Tiger, which is about a tiger:

YEAR OF THE TIGER
Bristled by a peaceful air
Wound up by the soft wind that berates his hair
He'll sharpen his teeth on the sky
A fire passes through a tigers eye

As long as his days are old
As old as his tail is white
As white as his stripes are black
As black as the ghosts that sulk through the night

He'll take you before you can see
Him strike like thunder before light-
ning goes the tiger burning through the night

Tear into the empty world
Howl back at the sound of the void
As tame as the wildest dream
As soft as the loudest scream

Two eyes blink like stars in the dark
A shudder of light that you drink and are marked
The fear drips like blood from his teeth (repeat)

Beneath him just violent thoughts
Streaks of memories, prey he forgot
His castle of gristle and bone
The king sits on his throne afraid and alone

Between the earth and the sky
A struggle on both sides
The tiger lives afraid as the tiger dies

Chasing shadows across the sun
Streaks of light he can't outrun
Cut through the darkness like the shots from the hunters gun

Stalking a naked terrain
At the top of his barren chain
No one left to remember his name
So he kills again

Lash out at the unknown
Rank that is grown on the bone
A company of order and flesh
His foul caress

He rips the sun right out of the sky
Clawing tears in the haze as the dark fills his eyes
Blind to a merciless god
Smothered by the facade

He'll take you before you can see
Him strike like thunder before light-
ning goes the tiger burning through the night

The king of the shortest stick
The beast above with one last trick
Sovereign of his defeat
In the end it was bittersweet

Prostrate in a royal cower
The cat is a mouse to the eyes in the tower
His blood falls from the highest plateau
Above as it is below

It takes him before he can see
Pulls his shadow away right from under his feet
Now the darkness is part of the light
As the tiger goes, burning in the night

Between the earth and the sky
A struggle on both sides
The tiger lives afraid as the tiger dies

Chasing shadows across the sun
Streaks of light he can't outrun
Cut through the darkness like the shots from a hunters gun

Who is the beast,
And who are the spoils?
Who makes the trees
Grow up from the soil?

And charges the sky
With imperious fire
Brutes in the dark
Afraid of the sire (repeat)

Who is this beautiful beast
A tear of light on his teeth
A fearful smile on his face
Tokens of blood leave a trace

Whimper and bowed to the ground
A scornful sun bearing down
Grimace and howl through the pain
Get up, get shot down again

Light drips like paint from heaven
A shining pall on the horizon
Life weeps away from his frame
Stretched to the bone by the flame

Corrupt the stripes on his back
And burn the white into black
Iron imprisons his rage
Violent stains colour a cage

So filled with sorrow
So filled with hate
Otherwise empty
A relic of grace

Shot like an arrow
His fateful arc
He'll charge until
He's lost in the dark

Bring down the father
Who brought down the son
A blinding madness
He won't overcome

Strike out in anger
Eclipsed by fear
His last breath wasted
The end is near (repeat)

Remember life as a king,
The coil of life in the spring
The silver stare of the stars
Before the snare of the bars
That deathly coddle of light
Cut through the space of the night

So say goodbye Grandfather
The body spent to confer
As the flesh kisses the earth
His stripes dissolve to give birth
To the beasts in the sky
That ride the tiger tonight (repeat)

Between the earth and the sun
A struggle on both sides
The tiger lives afraid as the tiger dies

Chasing shadows across the sky
Streaks of light he can't outrun
Cut through the darkness like the shots from a hunters gun

2012


Hi, hope everyone had a nice break.

So Matador announced Year of the Tiger today, it's pretty cool. Many of you might already know about this record and also may have already pre-ordered it. That's cool too. You can get it from insound and also Matador is doing a package deal where you can save money if you also buy DCTL.

Anyways, so you can read on there that the aside features Jim Jarmusch and Annie Claude from Dutchess Says on vocals, and Katie from Austra does some piano. The Bside is a weird rager. We're gonna play the Aside live in Toronto in Mid February.

Sorry to everyone who has ordered/tried to order the split 7" we did with Sloan. Josh who does our mail order and also plays the guitar just had a baby and she's not old enough to stuff envelopes yet. So please just be patient - you will get your record in 12 to 14 years, depending on the child labour laws in your country.

Lastly - and this will be the last time I mention this I swear - thanks to all the bands and everyone who came out to the benefit shows we threw last month. They raised more than $20,000 and showed everyone what a great and supportive city Toronto is. We spent the year touring every where in the world (except Pittsburgh) and played with and made friends with tons of great people and bands, but purposefully chose to program the benefit shows with only Toronto bands because there is so much cool stuff happening here. If we had more time to plan, we could have easily done 5 more equally amazing shows with all Toronto bands, so hats off to everyone here and nowhere else.

Also we are playing this show in Kingston at the end of the month:
