I think the culture of creativity is very extremist.

Throw back Wednesday to when we got a full 2 page spread in the Winnipeg Free Press 😍😍 ... that's me in the picture framing process. Still can't believe it was real.

Continuation of Spring Tour 2016 pics... here you’ve got us hanging out in a Toronto subway, interviewing with Linda @ On The Spot + Canadian Beats, seeing Lizzy’s parents at their CMW show at the Smiling Buddha in TO! Eating amazing food at Sneaky Dees, playing music at Poisson Noire in Montreal, Black Squirrel Books & Cafe with Baberaham Lincoln in Ottawa, this amazing scenery on the side of a highway - the sky was insanely beautiful and I woke Eric up to take a picture - I drove into this weird sketchy drive way to this clearly haunted ... shack. Claire and I stood holding each other hand for about 1 minute then ran back to the car while Eric ran into the wooded area by this beautiful water openin, THANK FUCKING GOD.

Then Gore Street Cafe in Sault St Marie <3

Thanks to everyone who came out or supported from afar! We are starting to plan a western tour and can’t wait at all!!!!!!! So excited to meet new friends and hear new music! Big thanks to Eric on the Spring Tour 2016 for clicking photos for us - all the photos posted are by him!

Hamilton is really nice, and we were crossing paths with our Winnipeg buddies Black Cloud on their last show before driving 23 hours home. It was a magical night of music, Black Cloud being one of our favorite bands ever, and Sensai a new favorite. Beautiful people, amazing venue. Thanks Hamilton we will catch you later. Xox

The one time I don’t bring my camera

And The Steves are in town. I have to remember the way Steve’s guitar head’s shadow lay on Steve’s floral turquoise bass, the thread of red, blue and green from the LED lighting. The medium-high yelps, the progressions that make you want to move your whole body, that make your body want to convulse momentarily before the song ends.

You cut and die your hair / It’s the same it’s the same it’s the same love

And the last song, Steve puts his guitar down as The Steves bring out a nice and slow ballot, no one dances in bars. Someone dance in this bar. So Ryan does, and it is magical. Lev Snowe across the way, with smiling heads, Colby beside grabbing attentions as he has just arrived, Claire holding on to the red cape that will give said life to Steve once he finally got up from the floor. Convulsing, himself, to the soft hardness, radness.

The one time I don’t bring my camera... I got it all on film.
