Hey everyone,
We're really excited to announce that we have planned a reunion show for July 30th @ the Opera House in Toronto, joining A Wilhelm Scream & Living With Lions on the Toronto date of their "Famoose Friends & Fashion Pelts Tour".
This will give us a chance to play one last show together - something we weren't sure we'd ever see happen. Its really exciting and we hope some of you will come out, maybe some of you will even travel some distance to come. We hope you will, it will be a show to remember.
For more information on the show, visit the Facebook Event HERE or check out the show post here on our page.
We'll be playing somewhere in the neighbourhood of 15 songs - so it should be a fun night spanning the whole catalogue. Hope to see you there for our final show!

THE FULLBLAST RETROSPECTIVE MYSPACE PAGE!
Sweet jebus time flies. I just noticed that the last "update" was 2 years ago. Well, there isn't much else to tell to be honest - Bri is still ripping it up with A Wilhelm Scream, Andy is currently home from touring with BNO, Darran is working hard, and BBR is still going strong for me. Check out Living With Lions, a rad punk rock band who's record is coming out June 17th.
Anyway, not much else going on. For those of you that still check out this profile and enjoy our music, thanks for the support. Keep sending us messages, I try to log in and read them a couple of times a month. Oh, and FYI, unfortunately we do not have any more merch, or copies of "Constructing Fidelity" or "Punk Technology". Keep checking back, we might put some stuff up for download on iTunes...but no decisions have been made yet.
Thanks for reading, and keep in touch.
