Here's their MySpace page, with a few songs available to listen. Good stuff.

There's also N. American concert dates... I think I saw Minneapolis in there, Malcolm. I'm personally making plans to see them in Toronto.

I think I saw Minneapolis in there, Malcolm.

Nov. 23rd, House of Blues.

You should come up to see that one, G. Be my last decent send-off before going to Scotland.

Was gonna do Detroit, an hour away, then in jest I said "how bout toronto, we could take a train and make a weekend of it, hahaha" and the wife thought it sounded like a good idea.

So I'm kinda locked in to that.

My tickets for the Toronto show have arrived.

Mental note... hotel reservations and train tickets.

I'd avoid Detroit too.

And passport. Getting harder to cross the Canadian border (if you aren't a terrorist).

A friend of mine is doing a marathon up in MI soon. Part of the marathon is crossing the bridge into Canada and coming back.

No passport check.

I had to order my passport for Scotland. Eight goddamn weeks + $100.

Take a trip! Travel the world! GIVE US YOUR MONEY!!!!

In '99 I got a passport in 3 days for a price of, like, $75.

There are passport expediting companies out there.

Just made my hotel reservations in Toronto. Got this message in the confirmation email:

Alert: Beginning January 8, 2007, passports will be required for air and sea travel to/from the United States and Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. The requirement extends to land border crossings January 1, 2008.

Another new album.

I'll get it, but the style of layering a single singer's voice 2+ times at once bugs me.

First single w/lyrics

Fuck Canada.

But fuck Iowa more.

My personal most-hated state is Nebraska. Fuck Nebraska.

Goddammit. Bought a "new" BG album and was preparing to rip it and I noticed the song titles looked familiar... checked the archives, and I just bought it for the second time.

Goddammit.

Concert's tonight. Good venue, too.

Post by **GORDON** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 12:52 pm

I did them twice... Hansi doesn't even try to hit the hard notes. Not jealous.

Getting old sucks. My Chris Cornell impression slips as time goes on.

Malcolm · Post by **Malcolm** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 11:19 pm

Recording for live album going on tonight.

Two encores. Hansi was not hitting the highs, but he kind of tried on the last 3 songs.
