Well, all my winter/spring touring is pretty much done, I got 2 Ontario dates in June, and three weeks of east coast dates in july. New Record is done and will be out right after labour day on Mammoth cave Records again. Its called Mission Accomplished and it isnt too bad. its probably not any worse than my other records anyway. In the fall expect a big tour, a huge one. Hitting pretty much everywhere, im looking at you Hinton. If you want me to come to your town, drop me a line.

So yeah. I am gonna try and pry myself off the couch in the next couple months and see if i can still RAWK. even though i am old and greyish. I got an East Coast tour booked for JAN. Ontario Weekends in FEB and West Coast in MARCH. So check the tourdates section. In the summer hopefully I will be doing a couple festivals in ontario and out east. I am also going to be recording soon, so expect a couple new songs in the set along with the old duds you have come to tolerate.

stay cool

Yep. pretty excited for the beamsville fair next weekend. and also really “excited” to play some shows. i got some new songs and gags, and some awesome new shirts featuring the movies critters 2 and big trouble and little china art. with my fat face in there as well. also got some great shows on the horizon including a return to the rock with bad vibrations and a week of opening for bob log 3 in ontario and quebec. if you are bummed im not headed west just wait a month or two and then you will be bummed to have to come out and drink on a wed in kelowna.

okay dokey.
the new record ” Hi Dudes!” is out now, you can get it on the internet (Zunior.ca or Itunes), from Mammoth Cave Records, from the trunk of mothers minivan, or from one of these stores (Dr Disc (hamilton), Soundscapes (toronto) and Bluestreak Records (peterborough). You can also ask your local record store to order it for you. It has gotten some decent reviews and i think its pretty swell myself.
Death Tour take whatever is set to begin. im basically playing everywhere. so if you dont see your town listed (vancouver-victoria) dont worry ill be there in june. and then it looks like im doing a couple festivals this summer. well hopefully.

take care and see you soon
BA

yep. yep. yep. new album Hi Dudes!! is out on Feb 23. its available on vinyl, cassette and compact disc. as well its out on itunes and zunior.ca. its also the first album that can be ordered in stores so ask your local record dealer to get it in. If you want to order it in advance or whatever talk to the good people who are putting it out mammoth cave records. i am also going to be touring the record everywhere starting in march. ill be touring all summer so chances are good i am playing wherever your cardboard box is located.

So the Minivan Rollin tour ended with a bang, and awesome sold out show in Ottawa. Thanks to everyone that came out, played with me, gave me booze and atari games, shotgunned beers in alleys with me, and let me sleep on their moldy couches. i owe you one. New album is done, and is being sent off to the presses, release date is Feb 23. Tour to follow. it will be available this time with some kind of distro so you can actually order it from stores i think. wowza. I got some tourdates for jan, doing a quick maritime run to celebrate my upcoming 46th birthday. you get old fast kids. see you around the woodpile,

Got back from the west a week or so ago, thanks to everyone that came out to the shows and let me stay on their couches and bought me drinks. in many ways west is best, except the crowsnest pass, that can suck it. I finally received my 7 inch record with the Moby Dicks, if you want one send me a message and i can send one out, 7$ postage paid. Ive got a few shows left in Ontario for Nov and then 3 Xmas shows. New Album is abut 80% done, should be out late feb on mammoth cave records, cd, vinyl and cassette release. It called ” Hi Dudes!”. pretty excited for it. Im also almost done booking an east coast birthday tour in jan, if anyone wants to do a BA House show in Saint John NB, im game.

take care chuds and chudettes,
BA
