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.

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.
