From the Order of the Day Mailing List:
First off, we’d just like to say thanks to everyone who came out to the shows on the 12th and 13th. Both shows were a huge success and we really appreciate the support. It was great to see some familiar faces we had not seen in a long time, and it’s always fun to meet new people too. That being said, there are a couple more chances to come out and see Order of the Day in the near future.
Thursday May 26, Ottawa, Zaphod Beeblebrox w/ Clockwork.
Doors are at 8pm, tickets are $6 at the door, Licensed, 19+.
OotD plays at 9pm, Clockwork at 10pm.
Friday June 3, Ottawa, Café Dekcuf w/ Channel One, Everlea.
ALL AGES. Times and ticket prices TBA.
There are more tour dates on the way and you’ll get the details as soon as they’re available.
In the meantime, be sure to take a minute and check out www.orderoftheday.net to see some pics from the Ottawa show, join a discussion on the message board, and check out the music/downloads page. We’d also appreciate it if you could send the website link to a friend (or a group of friends) who don’t know the band and who you think would like our music. Every little bit helps!

Pearl Drums has just introduced their new line of Reference Series drums.
“Reference Series drums use a combination of task specific bearing edges and 3 time proven woods, Birch, Maple, and African Mahogany. Using Maple as a sole material has long been the traditional choice for shells and for good reason. Maple provides smooth, well balanced tone that is perfect for a 12″ tom. Subsequently, all Reference Series 12″ toms are composed of 6 plies of Maple. The only single wood shell in the series. Our 10″ and 8″ toms receive 4 plies of Maple with 2 inner plies of Birch for cut and attack. And for maximum response, all 13″ and smaller toms have a rounded 45° bearing edge.”
See the Reference Series online at the Pearl Web site.
