Back Home
Been back at home for a week now just hanging out and relaxing. We were supposed to start a tour with the Refreshments last week but, Tim the bassist in AJC broke his hand. So we’re off for a little while now. Hopefully I’ll have some time to add more drum stuff to my web site, If you have some comments about my web site or about anything I should put up e-mail me and let me know.
If you want to download the video clip of “Sick & Beautiful” it’s on the AJC site.

Update from the Road
Tonight is our 61st show since the beginning of July and the Lollapalooza tour.
We’re finally back in Canada for a short tour across the western provinces, and then back home to Ottawa for about a week off.
On this tour so far I have stripped my snare stand, used about 40 pairs of drumsticks, changed my snare head once a week, cracked my favorite Sabian Rock Hats and changed my tom and kick drum heads once a month. I ordered 50 more pairs of sticks from Rimshot that got lost by UPS, so I’m down to my last few pairs on this tour, but I will have more waiting for me at home next week.

Update from the Road
Hey there, just thought I’d do some updating today since I’ve kind of slacked off doing stuff on my web site. We’re just on our way to Nashville, TN for a big rock show there tonight. I also updated the gigs page on my site, it has the same stuff as the AJC tour dates page. Other than that the tour is going great, we’re having a good time and meeting as many fans as we can.

Thanks to everyone for e-mailing me on the road, sorry if I haven’t answered you back yet, but I will try and keep up.

AJC in Minneapolis
We had a great time at the Double Door show last night. It’s great having a sold-out show and great to meet all the people who came out. It was nice to get our gear back too, since it was “lost/delayed” during shipping after our NYC gig.
Hopefully we’ll be back soon.
Just got to the hotel in Chicago for some relaxation time and then off to the gig.

Finished Lollapalooza
Just finished the first three weeks of the Lollapalooza tour. Everything went great, we had a good time on the second stage. We are now getting ready to do a three month tour of the U.S. and Canada. Check the Artificial Joy Club site for the dates once they’re confirmed. Have a look at some pictures from the Lollapalooza tour.
