A LIFE OF CRIME & THE SCARS TO PROVE IT (CD/DVD)

Available May 2nd, 2006

In April of 2004, filmmakers Jon Eagan and James Loftus followed the Parkas as they embarked on their second cross-Canada tour to support their critically acclaimed debut album NOW THIS IS FIGHTING. By the end of June, founding member Grady Kelneck had quit, and the future of the band was uncertain. A LIFE OF CRIME is a documentary about just what the hell went wrong.

**** plays like a defiant 'I Will Survive.' Did you think they'd crumble? Did you think they'd lay down and die? - EYE WEEKLY

My friends, I hope you're not exhausted of live music after NXNE, because I'd like to personally invite you for a drink and a smile at our musical party this Thursday, June 19th at Sneaky Dee's. We'll be accompanied by a couple of very energetic & powerful bands (ADA & The Isosceles Project) that will make for an especially high-caliber soirée.

Here's the event listing (I assure you this link is not hazardous):

Thank you immensely, folks. You're good people; please persist in your collective goodness.

Peace, respect & good karma.
