There's no question about it: we're busy. We have been integrating our live rhythm section with a bass player, and class-act drummer, Mr. Anthony James. We have been booking and playing shows like crazy; we have been working on the record. Not only that, but we have been working on a video that we will release in the coming months.
Next week, we have some VERY exciting news. Arts and Crafts have been a go-to label for excellent Canadian music (Feist, Stars, Broken Social Scene, etc.) for years and now they are bringing us an emerging group with members from The Stills and Broken Social Scene drummer. We have the the opportunity to open for Eight and a Half on two dates of their current Canadian/UK tour. One at The Casbah in Hamilton and another at Starlight Room in Waterloo. We are annoyingly excited at the moment, so you might want to stay away from us until we've calmed down (hopefully in time for our show this Thursday!)
Contact us at [email protected] to get your tickets for the Hamilton show on May 2nd! It's going to be something to remember.
Check out Eight and a Half's "Go Ego" off of their debut album!

Well, the back five. April has been a tasty treat for Illitry. We've been to Toronto a couple times, and had the chance to play during Hamilton's April Art Crawl. Now we have Cambridge, Guelph, St. Catharine's, more Hamilton and more Toronto! We are coming to a town near you, so tell your other-city-peeps to come check us out!
We'll give you some more information soon. We have a few pieces of exciting news to share with you, but we'll keep you in suspense for now. In the meantime, scroll down to our list of upcoming shows, and copy those dates onto your calendar. We'll be seein' ya.

Wow! Last night went so well. We tallied over 100 people coming through the door! A big thanks to The Good Hunters, Redanda and New Hands for solid performances. Keep an eye on each of these bands and check out what they're up to!
And of course, a HUGE thank-you to all the wonderful fans and friends who came out. We'll keep saying it: we just would be nowhere without your support!

If you like us on Facebook, or have been following us on Twitter, you'll see that we are playing a particularly exciting show tonight with Rich Aucoin. He and his band along with Writer's Strike are on tour from Halifax, and we were lucky enough to be asked onto the bill. We are giddy with excitement and hope to see so many of you out tonight. It promises to be a great night!
PS. If you don't like us on Facebook or you're not following us on Twitter... get on top of that!
