Sounds Like

"...unexpected synth oscillations, interweaving guitar jangle enhanced with anabolic distortion and stunningly layered vocals come at you like a ton of bricks..." Cam Lindsay, Exclaim! Magazine

"Canada's best kept secret" MTV Canada

"upbeat, shimmering pop music that could get folks dancing without a single disco hi-hat.....their EP more than delivers on the promise I saw in the live performance." Frank Yang, Chromewaves.

Voted destined for success in 2008 by Eye Weekly's 2008 Critic's Poll.

"While this Toronto band's deservedly acclaimed 2006 EP bore all the hallmarks of a band that had arrived seemingly fully formed, their full-length follow-up shows them taking a large leap forward." John Sakamoto, Toronto Star

I've been listening to it
in heavy rotation since I got
my hands on it, at your last show
when you came to Chicago!

Everyone who has heard it has been excited to get it themselves.

Can't wait for your next visit
Cheers!

HAPPY VALETINES DAY
A long time ago a man with big feet stepped on a rat and he felt kind of bad, cause he could not eat the rat, cause it was dirty and smelly like his foot which had also stepped in poo that day, and you can be sick by eating poo. So god a rabid dyslexic dog heard the mans wows and turned the rat into a penis... then all men had penises... and so Valentines day was born... come learn the true meaning of this day as King Clancy sings the word and great works of the great and wonderus dog... (or god if your dyslexic) hear the lament and look in awe as the king delivers furious thunder to your rats... learn the true meaning of Valentines day in your pants...KING CLANCY PLAYS THE HORSESHOE 9 30 pm SATURDAY FEB 14... RSVP TO GET IN FREE
