<span style="font-family: Arial;">As a
particularly dreary Canadian winter concludes like the socially awkward
party-goer who suddenly realizes at 4am that he’s overstayed his welcome, it
occurs to me that we are a nation titillated by our unencumbered yearning for that
ever-elusive promise of spring. The transition is horrendous at first: the snow
begins to melt, revealing all of the dog turds and liquefied garbage that had
been cryogenically frozen from the months before. Slowly but surely though, the
days get longer, and the shorts get shorter. Spring time is electric.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that moment where you optimistically opt to discard your bulky winter coat for
a light, sensible leather jacket based on the favourable weather forecast.
You’re at the bus stop and you reach into that breast pocket for the first time
all season and what do you find? …Oh fuck yeah, brother, it’s a crumpled up
5-dollar bill and a half eaten roll of Mentos. In the moment, these items seem
to have the value of a lost Picasso sketch and the missing evidence from a
murder case. Thanks, universe! That is nature’s way of saying “Who loves ya,
baby?"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">As the
seasons change, the fellas in Fatality and I have decided to make a few
positive changes ourselves. For starters, we finally got a fuckin’ website. I
haven’t been this excited since MySpace. Now, I know what you’re all thinking:
“Spencer, that’s great and all, but I’m still not convinced that this whole
‘internet’ thing is going to stick around. It could be a fad!” Our bass player
Adam Zlotnik would have none of this. That is why when he pitched the idea of
getting a great functional website to use as a hub for all of our music, news,
and social media, I said “Malarkey! Music fans interact with their favorite
musicians one way and one way only, but by the telegraph, of course.” It was in
that moment that Adam Zlotnik proceeded to grasp his iPhone 5 in his hand and
pistol-whipped me on the head repeatedly while yelling the lyrics to </span><i style="font-family: Arial;">“Video Killed the Radio Star”.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Oh yeah, we
are also doing a hometown show opening up for world-renowned thrash legends
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/249274275249489/" target="_blank">Destruction</a> on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/249274275249489/" target="_blank">April 12th at the Virgin Mobile Mod Club</a> in Toronto. Joining us
will be <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/249274275249489/" target="_blank">Krisiun</a>, as well as one of my favorite metal bands in the whole wide
world: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/249274275249489/" target="_blank">Exmortus</a>. I have blathered about them at length in previous blogs about
getting to know them while we did a string of incredible shows with them across
California. We hope one day for their forgiveness for us clogging their toilet with
a human Mars Bars and covering their floor with sewage last summer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">So enjoy
the spring and be sure to make the most of it… Make love in a garden. Plant a
tree. Forgive a foe. Or just embrace the simple joy of peeing comfortably
outdoors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

some weight,</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">What is it that I love about the East Coast of Canada? Why do I always </span><span style="text-align: justify;">come running back there with such affection? Could it be the fresh </span><span style="text-align: justify;">ocean air, the endless hand-rolled cigarettes, or could it be the </span><span style="text-align: justify;">friendly and accepting atmosphere? There seems to be some sort of </span><span style="text-align: justify;">pungent energy that clings to the air like that of a great high school </span><span style="text-align: justify;">party where everyone got laid. It’s that work hard, play harder, get </span><span style="text-align: justify;">drunk and eat lobster, call in sick to work just to air guitar and </span><span style="text-align: justify;">masturbate side of the country that I have grown to love and truly </span><span style="text-align: justify;">respect. Fatality is ecstatic to announce the “</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/531553963606601/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Dead of WinTour</a><span style="text-align: justify;">” which </span><span style="text-align: justify;">will be taking us from Montreal to Halifax between January 31st and </span><span style="text-align: justify;">February 8th to help bring a little bit of heat back into the heart of </span><span style="text-align: justify;">a frozen country.</span></div>

I have always felt right at home on the East Coast. Any spot that was built on the shoulders of the working class seems to be effortlessly infused with a true character of honesty, hard work and a population that drink like a school of chronically depressed halibut stuck in loveless marriages. It’s a value system that revolves around the importance of keeping your word, the power of a hard day’s work, and a commitment to cherishing friends and family. The pot isn’t bad either.</div>

There is no such thing as getting “too drunk” in the Maritimes. It’s gotten to the point where I once overheard a guy from Nova Scotia describing throwing up as “backwards eating.” This is my kind of place!</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
I can’t wait to crack a few Pilsners, pile into the tour van and start out on what is to be a bachelor party on wheels filled with great friends, loud music, questionable food choices and undoubtedly a few well earned dry-heaving sessions behind an Arby’s in the mid-afternoon somewhere off the TransCan in New Brunswick. Through all of the decadence we are sure to encounter, we still pledge to play every moment of each set with a great deal of professionalism, intensity and passion in order to fully share our fun loving brand of heavy metal music.</div>

I am getting my Guess Who cassette tapes ready in anticipation for a Canadian winter road trip for the ages. Please be sure to subscribe to the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/fatalitys-backseat-levoncast/id640852941" target="_blank">Fatality Podcast</a> and warm up to some audio of great conversations and stories from the road as well as a first hand look at what actually happens inside and outside the tour van on our many adventures.</div>

before returning safely to Canada with a lifetime of memories and an excessive
amount of duty-free booze. We had the
Labour Day weekend to reacclimatize ourselves to society as the high of being
on the road faded and the post-tour blues set in. The post-tour blues are common among many of
the touring musicians that I have talked to. It is a time of reflection,
backtracking and tedious boredom. Not only do you have to come to terms with
the fact that you aren’t a rock star, you also have to make peace with all of
the compromises and sacrifices you made just so you could have a successful
summer. After 2 straight months of being accepted and welcomed among strangers
and friends old and new, the parties, the after parties, the noise and
destruction, the mooning of hitchhikers on the I-5… you must come home and
realize that you are just a dude. No more, no less.<br />

A few days after getting back home I found myself busy working
as a piano tuner in the Toronto area. My first call was from a gentleman named
Arif who needed a tune-up on his upright piano. As it turned out he lived in my
neighbourhood, so I happily agreed to head over the next morning with my piano
tools and a monolithic fuckin’ Tim Horton’s coffee. As I approached the house I
saw the 2 of the most beautiful women I had ever seen in my life exiting. A
fellow wearing a NOFX t-shirt and pyjama pants greeted me at the top of the
steps. “Who the hell is this dude?” I wondered. You can usually tell a man’s worth by the amount of beautiful women in
his general vicinity and no, Ted Bundy, dead ones don’t count, that’s cheating.
He showed me to his piano and after a few friendly words, I got to work
thinking that this guy looked all too familiar. Halfway through the job I
looked up on the wall and saw a gold record: <a href="http://www.protestthehero.ca/" target="_blank">Protest the Hero</a>.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Fatality had opened for <a href="http://www.protestthehero.ca/" target="_blank">Protest the Hero</a> a few summers
earlier and having seen them perform, I have to say that I find them to be one
of the most professional and exceptional live bands out there. I recalled
needing to take a piss during their set on a big outdoor festival stage
surrounded by wilderness. I went walking to the tree line in the distant
darkness 150 paces left of the stage and I accidentally trudged into a marsh
like a bumbling asshole. Try bouncing back from that socially: being in a
public place with hundreds of people after getting soaked up to your waist in
swamp water, lily pads and otter cum. I don’t think even Johnny Depp could
charm his way out of that one! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I talked with Arif about life after tour and how getting
home, I couldn’t help but feel like a fuddy-duddy after the infinite momentum
and night-after-night excitement of tour life had grinded to a halt. You ought
to see me on the first day I get home from a long tour, trying in vain to make
my cats watch me play the acoustic guitar with my shirt off, crying. He had a
good laugh and told me that that is the price of admission for such an amazing
and unique experience. He told me about an article he had read about Buzz Aldrin
and how his life turned to shit after he walked on the moon in 1969. I guess
after walking on a giant space rock and watching the shimmering twilight of the
cosmos from 384,400 kilometers above everything you have ever known, somehow waiting
in line for an Arby’s cheese melt loses its allure pretty quick. Upon coming
home to earth, his mother (would you believe her name was Marion Moon?)
committed suicide due to the instant overwhelming celebrity of the family; he
then destroyed his marriage and became a miserable alcoholic. I would have
thought it would have been the other two that lost it: Neil Armstrong from the
pressure of being the first to walk on the moon, or Michael Collins for
literally being the most isolated man in the universe.</div>

Tour to me is like going to space. You load up your
spaceship with all that you will need for your extended stay, you strap in and
shoot across the globe to uncharted territory with nothing to protect you but
your sheer determination, creativity and passion. You are isolated from all
that you hold dear, and you make the choice to sacrifice all that you once knew
just for a rare chance to chase that ever elusive 45 minutes of magic that has
gotten you out of bed since you were a child. And, like most astronauts you are
always trying to get as much Tang as you can get your hands on! In my eyes, for
the most part, humans are all the same. I feel as though we are all just trying
to find that delicate balance between our inner demons and our dreams. How can
we make this trip to the moon last forever? What kind of magic are we chasing?<o:p></o:p></div>

How come there are so many gorgeous people living in big
cities? Do all of the attractive people in each part of the country just decide
to live within the same 10 blocks of each other at all times? Do they do it just so they can
be close enough to one another to share jeggings and hair care tips? I love the looks on
everyone’s gorgeous and well-maintained faces when we pull up in our huge tour
van and the door swings open to let loose a pile of degenerate Canadian degenerate slobs.<o:p></o:p></div>

When we are driving through an area highly populated by
the genetically advantaged, like all groups of men in each other’s company, we
always start yelling the vilest shit. The kind of irredeemable comments that would make you lose your job mopping up a porno theatre. This is particularly so when the windows are rolled up and everyone is in a good mood. It’s kind of just what guys do, because deep
down, all men are monsters. My favourite moment is when someone in the van sees
a pair of nice legs further down the road and comments on them, only for them to turn out to be that of a man, or worse: it’s a girl that’s way too young.</div>

Seattle is one of those places where all the people are
beautiful, but the weather sucks, so no one gets to goddamn enjoy it! Maybe
that’s why Kurt Cobain was so troubled: instead of the women of his era wearing
yoga pants and tube tops, they all wore long johns, flannel shirts and jeans.
They all looked like Al Borland from Home Improvement with tits. We played at a
small bar called “the Kraken”. The stage was so small that when I leaned back
during our performance, Mason's jittering crash cymbal would bite at me. At one
point I remember getting too much momentum towards the end of the stage and my legs
failed. I have the grace and balance of Bambi on a frozen pond. As I
was careening towards the edge of the stage my stupid legs buckled and I
clumsily went flying off the stage, hit the floor in a front roll and ended up
flying out the front doors of the bar with my guitar around my neck!</div>

I was so exited to hop across the border into Canada for 36 hours and a gig in Vancouver. I may have had to do 2 border crossings in 3 days, but hey, they know how to make coffee the way I like. Everyone split up all over the city except Mason, Adam and I ended up
spending the night at my cousin Colin's place. He is endlessly interesting because he
was a professional nightclub musician and comedian in the 70’s, travelling all across Canada as a one-man band. It goes without saying that he has
a ton of great stories. I remember him asking me what the difference was
between our first album <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/beers-from-the-grave/id347825872" target="_blank">Beers from the Grave</a> and our new album <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/psychonaut/id659165470" target="_blank">Psychonaut</a>. I
told him, “the main difference is that as I get older I have a greater wealth of
experience, therefore I have more to write about and wield more colours to paint
with. My first album is full of songs that were basically written about my
dick.” He looked at me, took a pull on his cigar and said, “Short songs, huh?”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next day we went for a walk along the Seawall. Me and
Mason took turns making fun of the corny boat names and punished each other for
a few kilometers with potential cheesy boat monikers. “Hey, how about 'Yacht-zy…'” "Ugh. 'What are you talking a-boat?'" Just then, out of nowhere I felt a drip on the top of my head. In my heart of
hearts, I knew that it was either bird shit or a drop of water from a leaf in a
tree above me. Being a rare clear-skied sunny Vancouver day, the odds were against me. Trust me when I say that I have never prayed for rain so badly
in all of my life. I ran my hand through my hair and looked at my hand, and it
was definitely the excrement of another species. Birds really are a bunch of
son-of-a-guns. Through millions of years of evolution they possess the power
shit and piss a substance that looks like cum out of one hole. I pray for
mankind to go through that kind of evolutionary progress, because it would save
a lot of time in the morning and it would stimulate the economy. And they can
fly! I had no idea how to react to getting shit on, as we were walking around in
daytime public. I got about 10 strides in until I had to confess and subject
myself to the laughter of my brother and bass player. “Hey guys, I just got
shit on!” I incoherently yelled as I lumbered into the first business I could
find, which turned out to be a very fancy seaside steakhouse. At the front
desk there was a greeter, 2 beautiful waitresses and a couple of the bar
tenders, all female, just hanging out, shooting the shit after the lunch rush.
I needed to come clean, so to speak. I look at one of them very earnestly in
the eyes and confessed as though I needed help hiding a body: “I just got shit on by a bird, do you have a washroom I
can ruin?” One of the beautiful waitresses pointed me down the pristine hallway
where I kicked the door open and took a whores bath in the sink.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What a way to start the day. After that encounter with the
bird, the rest of my day seemed way more tolerable. I should start my days by
getting pooped on more often. The rest of the day becomes far less shitty *rimshot!*. Be sure to tip your waitresses, folks!</div>

Our gig in Vancouver was at a place called the Astoria. An
old joint on East Hastings Street, where our van was vandalized with yogurt 2
years ago. When we got there, for whatever reason the bands were all setting up on the floor in
front of the stage. This made us susceptible to drunken buffoonery by the
audience which would inevitably fuck with our set and equipment. One guy in particular
was driving me up a wall. As we were performing, he kept bombing the "stage" and
taking out my microphone. He cheekily unplugged Mason's fan like that guy in the movie Airplane. He then started walking through the stage to take a
short cut to the washroom and "accidentally" kicked out our power (Jury's still out on that one). Finally he
came charging towards me again near the end of the set and I grabbed him by the
neck and threw him back into the darkened audience. After we played I asked
someone who was working at the bar who the hell that dude was and why he was
being such an insufferable prick. And he said “Dude, that guy is one of your
biggest fans. He has been looking forward to seeing you for 2 years and has been promoting the shit out of this gig!”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After our set, we were just hanging out and relaxing by
the bar when all of the sudden a fist fight broke out on the floor. I saw one
gentleman out of nowhere start to absolutely sucker-punch a dude with a series of drunken haymakers. Then like all bar fights, friends of the brawlers and brave
bystanders hopped in to try to pull them off each other. Before long, the fight
resembled an aggressive rugby scrum as a cartoonish tornado of fists began
shifting all over the room until it ended up on the floor space where our gear was sitting. The group began inadvertently stomping inadvertently
all over Eytan’s music equipment in the process. Just as soon as everyone involved was finally
thrown out, a second fight broke out near the bar. I couldn’t
believe it. The rest of the Fatality guys and I stood there; feeling annoyed
and we began anxiously singing “Oh, Canada.”</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;">I drove up to Santa Barbara with the girls from the police raid incident feeling silly, harebrained and bug-eyed. It was a nice change of pace to be in the company of women after being stuck in the pressure cooker of stink and testosterone that is the Fatality/Zombie Holocaust tour van night after night. Another fine facet about rolling with women is that I got the opportunity to go shopping for a brand new pair of used jeans because my only pair of forlorn trousers were torn into taco meat live on stage in Pomona. I hate shopping for clothing. Women seem to do it for sport but for the most part I can’t stand it. My whole goal is to spend as little fucking time in the store as possible: I find my size, grab a handful and glide purposefully to the change room for further analysis. I grabbed a comical stack of potential pants candidates and selected the one pair that fit my peculiar stubby legs. When we got back into the car and were pulling away I looked at my new denim dwellings and exclaimed, “Shit, I think I just bought girl jeans!” “How do you know?” the girls inquired. “Because the brand on the back tag says ‘The Flirt’ in fruity writing.”</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The venue was among the most interesting places we have played on this tour. It was a hookah bar that was BYOB, littered with comfortable couches, black lights and had vintage posters plastered from wall to wall, which gave it that warm welcoming feeling that you would get from hangin’ in your stoner friend’s attic in high school. I was expecting a relaxed and chilled out crowd to match the serene setting but as soon as the show started, a ton of people came out and the crowd just exploded and went apeshit. Couches wrapped around the floor of furious mosh pitters and acted as the ropes of a wrestling ring as these crazy beach town party animals tore the place to shreds, pillow fighting, bouncing off the walls and carrying on in elation and positivity like brothers and sisters with huge smiles on their faces. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zhrocks" target="_blank">Zombie Holocaust</a> were electric as always and I could tell that everyone was blown away by the precision and proficiency of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/exmortusofficial" target="_blank">Exmortus</a>, including yours truly.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The following night we played in the next big beach town north called Santa Cruz and I was accosted by assholes from start to finish. I am not dismissing the town of Santa Cruz; it is actually an awesome place to party. I am purely reacting to the individual weirdos I encountered that night who seemed to be sent from another dimension to pester me. We were performing at a huge concert hall on the downtown strip called The Catalyst, and I remember getting heckled by a big burly drunk fella right as I was in the middle of pandering from the stage about enjoying my time in Sunny California. He drunkenly misheard me, thinking I said “Southern California” and like a buffoon interrupts me to belch: “Whaaat?! Where exactly do you think you are right now?” Trying to call me out on my geography. It drives me up a wall when people shout at performers during a show. I find it inconsiderate and impolite, on par with someone drinking your last beer and then breaking the bottle against your temple. Nine times out of ten it is because the person is hammered drunk, trying to incoherently participate, but every once in a while you just get a real bona fide, genuine, know-nothing, mouth-breathing, certified, top shelf, dimwit, low watt, dumbfuck, blithering zero. This piece of merde qualified for both categories. I pleaded with him saying: “This might shock you sir, but I am not a geography major, I am just a drunk Canadian with a guitar and microphone.” He shouts, “Where are you from?” I snap back with “Toronto, you asshole. Any more geography questions? It’s not like I’m doing anything right now.” The crowd had a good laugh at his expense. For the duration of the set, just to fuck with him, after every song I would shout out something like “Thank you Chicago!” everyone in the audience got the joke but him. You would just hear a faint voice from the other end of the room: “Whaaat!?” like the oblivious ghost of distracting moron's past. </span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The downtown strip was just pandemonium that night. I went for a walk to clear my head and stretch out a little. I came to a nice street corner with some grass, a lamp and some bushes where I momentarily took sanctuary. Out of nowhere I saw a pretty blonde girl riding a bike veer off the sidewalk into traffic and get struck by an SUV. She got up and limped off the street while a man hopped out of the car to see if the girl was alright. “I’M FINE! I’M FINE. DRIVE ON,” I heard the girl say in some sort of drug-addled belligerence and biked off into the distance. I remained under my tree as I saw a peculiar looking man dressed in a white t-shirt, white shoes and white sweat pants pattering towards me. You know that feeling when you see a suspicious character walking towards you in public when you are trying to find your own space and you just think, “Oh no… This asshole is about to start talking to me.” He looked me with an arresting dullness and murmured “That’s Catherine for ye, I sometimes jus’ d’know what gets into her…” I just walked away mid-sentence like a jerk.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I got back to the venue, Adam Zlotnik was engaged in an interminable conversation with a cracked-out gentleman asking him “When was the last time you got robbed?” We just stared him in the eyes and said, “Now what kind of fucking question is that?” Thank goodness Dr. Douche the geography expert came along and hit it off with the crackhead like peaches and stupid cream. They’re getting married next month and are registered at Hooked on Phonics.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;">Southern California is a trip man! It also marks the halfway point and the farthest away from home we would be on our entire tour. One gig that sticks out in my mind was when we played a 2-stage festival at a club in Pomona called “Characters”. My confidence surely slunk from hero to zero as I approached the door of the club. The bouncer would not let me in because of my tank top. You know which one, the one that made people in San Antonio think I was homeless? Not gaining entry to establishments because of my physical </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">demeanour</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;"> seems to be an underlying theme of this godforsaken trip. It was a fun night all in all, and every band on the bill killed it. I only brought one pair of blue jeans with me on this expedition and the morning before the gig I noticed the stitching on the back pocket was coming loose and a hole was forming on my ass. It wasn’t that noticeable until I got on stage and began performing. With every jump, dance move or kick I felt the rip getting worse and worse. I made it remarkably close to the end of the set with my pants somewhat intact, but then as we approached our big finale something strange came over me. It all happened so fast: on the very last beat of our final song I turned from the audience, pointed my butt at them, grabbed ahold of the tear on my arse and with one powerful and swift pull, I tore my tour pants into confetti right there on stage in front of everyone. It was like Rip Taylor’s wet dream. The place went ballistic. It was hysterical to those who saw it, but I imagine it would have been even funnier to those who were looking elsewhere, and were unclear as to why I was now wearing tattered clothing with my ass showing. J.P from Zombie Holocaust said that it was one of the funniest moments of performance he had ever seen. I sacrificed my favourite pair jeans for the fine patrons of Pomona, California. Looking back, I think I was just getting even with the bouncer at the door for making a big deal about inappropriate attire. How about now Biff, you fuckin’ dunderhead?</span><br />

As soon as we got there, strange things began happening, and didn’t stop happening until we left for northern California. As soon as we pulled up to the venue we were greeted by one of the most aesthetically disjunct displays I have ever seen: a man dressed to the nines in an immaculate Tuxedo, standing outside a banquet hall, screaming at his wife who was dressed in a beautiful dressing gown and astonishingly pregnant. There they were, standing in the early evening luminosity yelling right in each other’s face. They were having one of those humiliating and utterly frustrating arguments that couples have, and this time it all blew up at a social event. It was such a potent moment. I have a feeling that this is a strongly evocative and poignant symbol for L.A. that I will always carry with me: a man having a dreadfully embarrassing screaming argument with the carrier of his child dressed in their Sunday best, make-up running down her glowing cheeks.</span></div>

What a fun night of music it was. Exmortus is one of the best metal bands in the world in my opinion. They have a way of executing complex synchronized arpeggios with fast intensity while maintaining groove and refined musicianship without sounding wanky or redundant. Do yourself a favour and make sure to check them out when they make it to your town.</span></div>

Finally, annoyed, he got out of the van, walked around and to his chagrin found a small Mexican man engaging in sexual relations with a transvestite prostitute on the trailer hitch of the van. “Sorry fellas!”</span></div>

This was our second night of merriment and camping in his family’s backyard. As the second night was coming to an end, a choice group of us went to the park so as to not irritate the entire household and neighbourhood 2 nights in succession. Eytan, Nick Mamere, 2 girls and myself grabbed a case of Budweiser, hopped into a car and zipped down to a huge park in the outskirts of L.A. at around 4 in the morning. We set up shop on a row of benches in the dugout of a baseball diamond. It was great to just be relaxing under an open California sky, drinking cold American beer and enjoying some uproarious conversation. In the midst of our mirthful meandering, we spotted an LAPD police car circling around the paths of the park in the distance. I got the same feeling in my gut as when a bee is flying around my sandwich at a picnic, and it seemed in this situation that we were the sandwich. We timidly watched as the cop car started circling closer and closer to our location. Finally, in the blink of an eye we were surrounded by 2 police cruisers and were hit with big lights. “COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!” they bellowed. “Okie dokie,” I croaked, as we all pattered slowly out of the dugout towards 2 police officers approaching us with guns drawn and flashlights ablaze. “Do you guys have any weapons?” “No,” we said confidently. “Do you have any drugs?” “No,” we said a little less confidently. “Sit on this park bench now!” he forcefully instructed. One cop went into the dugout where we had been loitering and began searching frantically for something worth his time, while one cop remained with us at the picnic table, and a thick, awkward silence fell over us. Just then, with brilliant comical timing, he shined his flashlight at Nick and asked him if he was Steve-O from Jackass. This broke the tension and we all started laughing our asses off, only because all tour we have been ribbing him for looking and sounding like Steve-O, Otto from the Simpsons and Ernest P. Worrell combined. We weren’t out of this pickle just yet, because I saw Bad Cop approaching the group to address us. With another beautiful beat of comedic timing, he looks at us and says in a very serious tone: “Alright… Which one of you is Steve-O?”</span></div>

We found a curb on a nearby street and continued to goof around like children until the reluctant Los Angeles sun surely rose.</span></td></tr>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Man, these night drives are killing me. We had been warned by
one of the gentlemen from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HavokOfficial" target="_blank">Havok</a> that when driving through the Southwest it
is best to travel overnight because with the intense, hellish daytime heat, the
roads essentially become a river of lava and you run the risk of your vehicle
overheating and your tires melting and popping. To me, night driving in a
packed van is like ancient Chinese water torture. You can’t get comfortable
enough to sleep but your mind just screams for sweet, delicious rest the
entire time. We drove all night to Albuquerque, New Mexico to play a show at a
tremendous venue called the Launchpad. When we pulled into town at around 8am
we headed to the house we were to stay at, and to our weary apprehension, the
house was full of people still fired up, drinking and cranking classic 70’s
jams from an all night booze and drug binge the night before. We clumsily
moseyed down to the wet, unfinished basement and spread out on the rough
concrete floor while Van Halen’s “Jump” cranked on the loudspeaker, rattling
the bare floor joists above us. We all fought tooth and nail for some rest, and
later that afternoon we reluctantly arose to get to the show. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its funny how we seem to have the best days after those
uncomfortable and restless nights. We headed early to a park and played in the sun
all afternoon. We had a marvellous BBQ and played ultimate Frisbee until it was
time to head to the Launchpad. So far, the Launchpad was my favourite venue we
have hit on this tour: great sound, big stage and awesome lights. Afterwards,
we were sure as hell not heading back to the party house, so we got a motel
room, crammed all 10 of us in and had an incredible evening. We all got
hammered drunk, and sat around watching cable TV well into the morning. I love
everything about cable TV. I think I just enjoy handling the remote control and
the power that it wields. It’s like a
magic wand that makes reruns of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Married…
With Children</i> appear. Every half hour you can start all over again.
Anything can happen in cable TV land. Especially when you have 10 dudes in tow
to relentlessly make fun of everything you see.<o:p></o:p></div>

Thank goodness we got rest because we had to push through an
arduous 10-hour night drive to Tempe, Arizona that lay ahead of us. I made the
second half of the drive as the sun was coming up. I got to appreciate
navigating through the beautiful mountains and desert, littered in dry trees
and cacti while listening to hour after hour of my favourite radio show, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Opie and Anthony</i>. When we arrived, we
went to sleep on a jam space floor that was supplied by the Arizona thrash band
and all-around great dudes <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Warhead.Official1?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">Warhead</a>. We slept like sardines until the late
afternoon and we headed to our gig at the Red Owl. In a plaza adjacent to the
bar there was an astonishing record store called Asylum Records that was almost
more of a rock and roll museum than anything else. They had classic
memorabilia, original signed guitars from Paul Stanley of KISS and Dimebag from
Pantera, and a hypnotizing Led Zeppelin live DVD playing on their big screens.
I could have gotten lost in there for days. We got our pictures taken and
framed on the wall next to fellow Canadians Anvil, which is a great honour.<o:p></o:p></div>

We played an extremely enjoyable Tuesday night set. I got
nice and loose. I even called out for our cover of “Hocus Pocus” by Focus, for
which we have an up-beat and dynamic arrangement with improvised elements. It’s
a jam we have had in our arsenal since we were young; the whole point is for me
to abruptly play 20 seconds of a completely different song at each instrumental
break of Hocus Pocus. As long as I pick a song in the key of “A”, (or “EH” as
we call it in Canada), it comes across as a musical magic trick. For instance:
at the beginning of each instrumental break I will just start playing something
like “Cat Scratch Fever” or “Seek and Destroy” or any song I can think of off
the top of my head, and it sounds consistent as long as it is in the same key.
Then I can seamlessly bust back into the Hocus Pocus groove by calling out a
“1-2-3-4!” count to the rest of the band. The beautiful part is that my band
has no clue what songs I am going to play until I play it, so it keeps us all
on our toes and displays sophisticated musicianship. It’s a high-risk endeavour that could fall apart at any moment. Whenever we nail this song live it creates
an air of spontaneity that you can almost feel in your bones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To play it unsuccessfully and fall flat is a
fate worse than death where the audience wonders why you wasted 10 minutes of
their lives and you feel like a silly billy for the rest of the night.</div>

We ended up going to the talented sound guy’s apartment to
crash, and ended up bringing about 300 people we met at the show along with us.
I recall having a very slippery grip on my actions on the night in question,
and I am not afraid to admit that I was in full-fledged “Goat Boy” mode. Thank
goodness I am not an angry drunk, instead I just wandered around the party
squinty eyed, cracking jokes, and hugging everyone I saw while sporting a shirt
with an entire drink spilled on it.<o:p></o:p></div>

We had a well-deserved day off in Arlington, Texas. We had
the whole day and night to ourselves, so we started it off by going to a
restaurant called Cici’s Pizza. Cici’s is a super cheap place to get tour food
because it has a $5 buffet, which means endless pizza, pasta and desserts.
Trust me when I tell you, I came out on top in that transaction. I went through
some volume, son! We found a table for 10 and showed no mercy as we selfishly
crammed our faces full of starch. I can recall this as one of the best
afternoons on this tour so far, just because we were acting like a bunch of
kids, eating all the pizza we could ever comprehend eating and had no adults
around to tell us to stop. There were so many “high fives” and hysterical
laughing sessions. We all left Cici’s with full bellies and sore faces from
tittering.</div>

After breakfast we got our laundry done, and contemplated
our next move. Someone suggested that we check out Dimebag Darrell’s grave
because he was buried at a cemetery down the street. So we went. I hope this
doesn’t sound like sacrilege, but I thought it was a very strange and morbid
way to spend a day off: checking out the burial site of a murdered rock star
who I had never met. Most of the guys had their pictures taken next to his
headstone, which was even weirder to me, if only because I’d have no idea what
face to make: do I do it all somber and respectful, or do I throw up the horns
and act all metal and shit?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It just
makes me feel silly. I know a lot of people can develop an emotional connection
with musicians, but I usually make the separation easily in my head. If I don’t
know the person, I don’t think I really have any reason to be at their grave,
you know? I may just have a broken relationship with mortality itself. At any
rate, the dudes all gathered around the grave and cranked up some old Pantera
songs on a portable stereo and paid their respects.</div>

Afterwards we devised our next evil plan over iced coffees.
We decided it would be a fun idea to drive to Dallas and see our friends in
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/HavokOfficial" target="_blank">Havok</a> perform. It was a real treat to get to check out a metal show and not
have to worry about any responsibilities. Just enjoy some entertainment without
lifting shit, driving, or having to be interesting for 45 minutes. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HavokOfficial" target="_blank">Havok</a> are
without a doubt one of the best metal acts around. Their singer David Sanchez
was phenomenally charming and enticing, their guitarist Reece put on a great
show and wowed the concertgoers with his catchy and memorable leads, but the
star of the band in my opinion is drummer Pete Webber. In my eyes, Pete holds
the whole thing together with his hypnotizing technique and rock solid rhythm.
Great show boys!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In between bands I went for a quick stroll down the block to
get a feel for Dallas and maybe do a little people watching. An enormous tough-looking
black man intercepted my journey. He pointed to a white bracelet around his
wrist with text on it and told me that he just got out of prison and wanted
some change, presumably for a new library card or to buy flowers for the
elderly. I sheepishly lied to him and told him that I was fresh out of change,
and in a foolish sign of good faith I slapped my front pocket only to summon
the jingle of a healthy wad of change from an evening of buying drinks from the
bar. It immediately became evident that I lied to him because I was basically
playing the white-boy pants-pocket tambourine jingo-jango. He demanded that I
give him the contents of my pocket and I happily obliged. I would say that it
went down as the most casual street robbery of all time, on par with your
girlfriend stealing a fry off your plate at lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the way back to the van, Adam and Mason
took in a performance by a local crackhead who performed street magic while
telling corny jokes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All in all it was a
great night out.<o:p></o:p></div>

After our gig in Pensacola, FL. we had a good long drive
ahead of us. We were to drive into Houston and pick up our friends in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zhrocks" target="_blank">ZH</a> the
following morning around 11 am because they were to join us in our tour van and
play gigs with us for the next 3 weeks (that’s right, 10 dudes in an 11 seat
van). They were taking a 2-day bus ride from sunny California to Texas, and
that meant in order to meet them at the Greyhound station we would have to
drive all night long to prepare for our gig at the White Swan. We fuelled up
with some pancakes and hit the Florida highway at around 4 am. Night drives are
absolutely horrendous and I hate them like I hate being stabbed in the ass with
the butt-end of a goalie stick. First of all, it is very uncomfortable to drive
while you are tired, but it’s also near impossible to get any rest in the bench
seats while the tour van cascades towards its destination in the dead of night.
So you are damned either way. We made it into town and illegally parked in a
lot next to the Houston Greyhound station and waited in red-eyed anticipation
in the mid-afternoon sun for our California rock star buddies to pull into
town.</div>

I was relieved when they arrived and looked even worse than
we did. They had a dreadful and uncomfortable 48 hours in a bus, all with
different sets of stories including almost getting kicked off mid trip with all
of their gear on the side of the road. Even though we hadn’t seen each other in
2 years, everyone was dead tired, and a little dazed from exhaustion. We went
for burritos and blinked at each other in restive stillness for 3 or 4 hours
until we were set to play. Despite the mutual fatigue, we both played crushing
sets to an enthusiastic crowd of young headbangers. The crowd was so rowdy that
a fight even broke out during one of the sets. <o:p></o:p></div>

After the gig the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zhrocks" target="_blank">ZH</a> boys and us headed to a motel for a
snooze. To save money, all 10 of us crammed into the same room and conked right
out. Thank goodness we had the next night off and were free to slob the day
away and go camping in the outskirts of San Antonio. The spot we ended up at
turned out to be where they filmed the Patrick Swayze movie Parenthood. This
ended up being our first big party blowout with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zhrocks" target="_blank">ZH</a>, and we had an absolute blast.
The night was spent making fires, cranking James Brown music and playing
Frisbee in a scorpion field and sleeping in tents under a tree. It was the
perfect way to get reacquainted with old friends.<o:p></o:p></div>

I could not be happier with having <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zhrocks" target="_blank">ZH</a> on the road with us.
It is very strange for 10 dudes to be sharing each other’s space while avoiding
conflict. I think the reason is that both of our bands function in a world of
positivity. No matter how bad things get, we keep each other laughing and
energized, and when things are good we are all there for each other to savour
it as a family. Every conversation we have is fodder for a sidesplitting joke,
or a milk-out-the-nose laugh that will catapult you into a schoolgirl-like
titter for miles and miles.</div>

The next day we went for a swim and headed into San Antonio
for our gig at a club called the Korova, which was a Stanley Kubrick-themed
rock club. Before our set I went for my pre-gig walk and vocal warm up looking
quite haggard. I was running out of clean clothes at the time, so I was wearing
black Daisy Duke cutoffs and a black tank top. My brother Mason remarked that I
looked like an Australian Goth. I also had a patchy, shaggy tour beard that
made me look like a real asshole. After our gig a dude came up to me and said
that he thought I was a homeless lunatic because he had seen me walking past
the bus station singing to myself. That assumption was completely justified,
because at the time I looked like Saddam after they took him out of that
hole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

the one town that stands out in my mind is when we spent a couple days and
debauchery-soaked nights living within the depths of chaos and depravity in a
bar called the 321 Local in Cocoa Beach. It all started when we pulled into
town the night before our gig. We had nothing to do, and nowhere to go. So we
decided to go to the venue we were going to play the following night and start
our night that way. To kick things off, we had ourselves a tailgate party
complete with beer, BBQ grilling and George Thorogood cranking on the stereo in
the parking lot of a Baptist church around the corner. We went in to check out
the bar and met the owner Kevin and the booker David. We had nowhere to sleep
and couldn’t afford a hotel, so the owner of the club offered for us to just
party all night long and fall asleep on the floor of the bar. We heartily
obliged. The next few hours are a blur of air drumming and table dancing until
late the following morning.<br />

I found a hot piece of floor beside the pool table and time
traveled to the early afternoon the following day. The hot Florida climate has
a way of just drying you out. Nothing makes you feel like less of a winner then
waking up next to a bar-sports apparatus with pool chalk in your hair, feeling
dry as a wine cork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so dry that I
pissed sand. I was so dry, only British people thought I was funny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so dry, I found a bunch of camels
traversing my beer gut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh, if only I had
the foresight to grab myself some morning water and rest it beside my
soon-to-be unconscious body lovingly. That’s a real treat isn’t it? When you
awake from a late night of liquored-up lunacy only to find that drunk you left
hung over you a chilled Snapple or a 2-liter Fresca?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you can find someone that does that for
you, you marry that person and impregnate them immediately to pass on that
trait to future generations.<o:p></o:p></div>

I waddled over to the men’s room to freshen up and saw Adam
sleeping on the stage, snuggling up to the subwoofer. The other dudes
begrudgingly arose from whatever man nest they created for themselves and we
began talking about heading to the ocean for a quick splash just to wake up and
get psyched before we needed to perform later that evening. We went down to the
beach with the club owner Kevin as our tour guide, and he pointed us in all the
right directions and made sure that we had a beer in front of us at all times.
He had us in stitches with his wild sense of humor and stories, as well as his
positive and earnest attitude towards living the life he loves to live. “It’s a
hard life, but it’s our life,” he kept saying to me.<o:p></o:p></div>

It’s amazing how a nippy dip in the ocean can set your mind
straight. After playing in the waves like a pack of soft-minded imbeciles, we
brought a ton of food back to the bar to cook in the massive kitchen and to get
our powers back to full strength and play a power set. About an hour after we
played, I felt so loose that I decided to go back up on stage and play a last
call jam session with Eytan and Mason with me on bass. We took requests and
jammed out until it was time for another well-earned pool table nap.<o:p></o:p></div>

The party in Richmond came to a slow end at around 5:30 in
the morning, but once it started dying down strange people began showing up.
One gentleman notably came in covered in sweat, visibly annihilated on drugs
with a towel around his neck and a ketchup squeeze bottle full of booze. It
seemed like just as all of the metal heads we had met during the night made
their way home, more and more drug-addled lunatics began showing up to have a
late night drug binge party in the attached bedroom that separated the living
room with the only bathroom. At one point a girl, belligerent and haggard,
emerged into the living room from the drug shack, took off her pants and
underwear and pressed her naked ass on a gentleman who was sleeping on the
futon in the living room while party goers laughed and took pictures in
relative discomfort. We eventually gained control of the living room as though
it were a game of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">RISK</i> and eagerly
turned down the deafening record player as I found a hot piece of floor
between the TV and the coffee table to rest my troubled head. The users in the next room
began getting aggravated and “pill sick”, as the hesitant
sun began to rise. We also heard the group aggressivly turn on one of the individuals for doing needle drugs. I closed my eyes, put in my ear plugs and began focusing on
sleep in hopes of getting a couple hours of floor rest before we needed to head
back to the van we left at a parking lot that was to be ticketed and towed when
our parking slip expired at 10am. I heard doors slamming, screaming and
relentless conflict in the next room as we listened to the soundtrack of
withdrawal, sorrow, and unbridled discomfort as the drugs began to wear off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At around 6 in the morning I had the unmanageable need to
urinate and had the ill-fated realization that the only way to the bathroom was
through the gauntlet of savages that had regrettably ran out of drugs hours
ago. I tiptoed to the door and overheard their conversation. They had become
increasingly sick, angry and paranoid; particularly of the unknown Canadians
who were subsided in the living room next to them. “Lets kick them the fuck out
of here! Who the hell are they anyways?” I heard one of them say as I began
running through my choices for urination. Do I pee in the sink, take my chances
on the street and risk getting locked out, or do I brave the drug gauntlet? I
put my hand on the doorknob, took a deep breath and opened the door. There were
5 people in there, a few of them curled up and visibly ill.
Sweaty-towel-ketchup-man was pacing around the room and a woman was sitting on
the end of the bed awkwardly awaiting relief from the after affects of drug
use. When they saw me enter the room, I can only describe the look on their
collective faces as sheer terror as I whizzed by to take a super loud early
morning endurance piss with the door locked. I made my way back to the floor
and got an hour of pained half-sleep before the alarm went off and we needed to
trek back to the van by foot.<o:p></o:p><br />

We were all annoyed, overtired and cranky as we made our way
through the downtown core clinging to our personal belongings like a walk of
shame after one of the most uncomfortable evenings in recent memory. However,
our style while traveling is to make the best out of any situation and do our
best to become positive and energized. We made our way to the ocean and
gleefully splashed around in the waves, then headed to Wilmington, North
Carolina, part of a region known as Cape Fear, and arrived nice and early to
have a no-holds-barred BBQ in the parking lot and got our energy back up to
full and got ready for our gig at Reggies.<o:p></o:p><br />

It was the promoter’s birthday party and everyone was in
good spirits. We played first and spent the rest of the night playing pool, sitting
at the bar enjoying dollar beers while watching Happy Gilmore muted with
subtitles and checking out the local bands. We stayed with Carlos from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/salvacionrocks" target="_blank">Salvacion</a> and his
girlfriend Erin and listened to great albums, drank beer and of course slept
until 2 in the afternoon. Apparently they had just put up our friends in
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/CAULDRONmetal" target="_blank">Cauldron</a> when they played through there a few weeks ago. Carlos and Erin were
gracious enough to let us stay the following night as well and we made them a
nice healthy vegetarian stir fry and went to a party in town on our day off. So
nice to make new friends and have a clean place to rest after such a wild and
restless week.<o:p></o:p></div>

Boy, I sure hate being the designated driver while everyone
indulges in booze and gets silly. There is not a more thankless job in this
world than to be chauffeur for this wily group of 4 young men with hard-ons.
When I am tasked with doing this, I tell the boys right at the beginning of the
night: “I will drive us to where we gotta go, but you may as well start calling
me Stephanie, I will tell you right now.” Stephanie is the name of my inner fat
girl. Everyone has one, that snarky voice in the back of your head when
everyone is hammered and having a great time except for you. I always imagine
Stephanie looking like Chris Farley from the Gap Girls sketch on SNL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Can we go now? I’m bored.” “No, you can’t have sex with
that girl, we came as a group we leave as a group.” And occasionally, just an
incredulous “Really!?” are all things that can be heard by Stephanie as she
passive-aggressively ruins everyone’s night like a serial arsonist of mirth.
Did I mention that I also stink at driving? I am famous for absentmindedly
spending most of the drive with the cruise control set to 10 under the limit,
with only the most tenuous grasp of the wheel at 7 o’clock, cyclically drifting
on and off the shoulder rumble strips. You know, those little grooves on the
side of the road that make your tires rumble to wake you up just incase you
decide to take an ill-advised nappy while on the way to your destination.
“BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM” goes the rumble strip, followed by countless crass backseat
remarks such as “Dude, you spend more time on the shoulder than a goddamned
parrot.” I might have been angrier were it not completely accurate.<br />

But it has been a while since we last spoke, so let’s take
it back to where we left, shall we? We left NYC in a state of goofy blurry-eyed
bliss and made our faithful voyage to Baltimore. We arrived nice and early and
decided to go for a stroll through the streets down to the harbor. While
nowhere close to the neighborhoods depicted in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Wire</i>, the areas we were in seemed pretty rough around the edges
with loudmouthed lunatics and bullet holes in a few of the storefront windows.
Our gig was at a venue called the <span id="goog_464072878"></span><a href="http://www.sidebartavern.com/" target="_blank">Side Bar</a><span id="goog_464072879"></span>. A cozy underground bar that has a
capacity of less than 100. Before the gig started I went for a little walk by
myself to clear my weary mind. I bought the local paper and chilled out on a
stoop reading and relaxing on my lonesome. I read that Baltimore had 32 murders
in the first week of the summer. Holy dog shit. They must really love our band
in Baltimore because I found the word “Fatality” written about 80 times before
I even got to the funnies. Either that or they are all just constantly
murdering each other over there. I also passed by the strip club district. I
was drawn to it because there was an almost tangible darkness that hung over
the street of sadness. The other thing I liked about it was they had old-school
strip club barkers standing in front of every club trying to pull in some
business. I saw men in cowboy hats outside of each club sayin’ goofy shit to me
like “Hey swinger, looking for a good time and cheap thrills? Girls girls
girls, nude and nasty.” “No thanks sir, but I might be back.” As we drove past
the same strip after the gig the entire street was blocked off with caution
tape and 10 cop cars. I reckon there may have been a shooting shortly after I
scurried back to the venue.<o:p></o:p></div>

We were lucky enough to stay with Eytan’s friend DK whom he
lived with during his stint in Israel. DK’s place is in the suburbs in a
beautiful white house that was built in the 1800’s. The boys and I spent the
next 2 nights there sleeping, eating good BBQ and doing the occasional phone
interview. He also had a beautiful acoustic piano that I played and played and
played.<o:p></o:p><br />

Our next date was in Chesapeake, Virginia. This proved to be
one of my favorite sets of the tour so far. I can always gauge how good a set
is by how seamlessly and comfortably we can navigate through the set. The more
relaxed we are on stage, the more engaging and adaptable we become and our set
becomes more of a resonating meditation of music than anything else; a tantric
expression of love and musical enjoyment. When I am at my best, it’s like I am
on autopilot, acting completely on instincts and riding the set like a spirited
surfer on a tsunami of sound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was
the first show in a state where you are still allowed to smoke in bars. It was
like going back in time to a stinky, slightly yellowed past. The smokers in the
band took advantage of this onstage and lived out their Keith Richards
fantasies.<o:p></o:p></div>

Then it was off to Richmond, Virginia: home of many great
metal bands such as Municipal Waste, Gwar and Lamb of God. We were scheduled to
tape an appearance on a cooking show called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BrutallyDelicious" target="_blank">Brutally Delicious with Bruce Moore</a>. We called him in the afternoon to confirm, but it seemed he would have
to cancel because he couldn’t get a hold of his camera crew to film the
episode. We were defeated until Adam chimed in with: “wait a minute, aren’t we
traveling with a fuckin’ camera man!?” So we headed down to Bruce’s house and
our roadie extraordinaire <a href="http://seandecory.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Sean DeCory</a> saved the day and manned his camera as
Eytan gave a great interview while making some picturesque chicken breasts and
hot peppers on the grill. Bruce Moore is a great guy, as well as an extremely
interesting dude. Apparently he was a mastering engineer in NYC during the 90’s
hip-hop boom before moving to a small town with his amazingly welcoming and
polite family. He also published a few recipes from Eytan and I in his cookbook
“<a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Those-about-Cook-Pure-Metal/dp/1908208104" target="_blank">For Those About to Cook</a>” a few years back.<o:p></o:p></div>

Richmond is a really sweet place. We played on the main
nightclub strip and it really came to life after the sun went down; complete
with live music spilling out onto the street like sonic contentment from the
open doors of the surrounding clubs. We had a great set and hung around playing
darts, drinking beer and enjoying the chaotic atmosphere of the crazed party
animals slinking in and out of the bars on the strip. After the show we headed
to someone’s apartment for some shut eye. When we got there we were surprised
to find a rowdy house party in full swing with music uncomfortably loud on a
jittery old record player, beer chugging and a whole lot of boisterous and
noisy shenanigans. Although we were ready for a good night’s sleep, we
submitted to go with the flow and get a little silly with the locals. I was in
the party zone and was loud, making jokes and working the room. I remember at
one point getting the entire room of partiers singing “I Feel Good” by James
Brown as I pounded on a nearby electric guitar. But as the night got later and
later, things got weirder and weirder and took a very surreal and dangerous
turn. <o:p></o:p></div>

Well Hi!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
What’s goin’ on? How are ya? The boys and me are just headed
back on that bumpy road after what proved to be a most rowdy, exciting and
unforgettable few days in New York after a fun gig in Philly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Philly is a really cool spot. We played at a bar called the
Kung Fu Necktie with our buddies in a killer band called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RumpelstiltskinGrinder" target="_blank">RumpelstiltskinGrinder</a>. Last time we played Philly we were extremely late because our GPS took
us on a hellish route through midtown Manhattan rush hour traffic while we were
stagnant and pulling our hair out with stress. So this time we made a point of
showing up in good time. RsG were really tight as always. The whole band really
meshes great, and their solos were clean as a whistle. Their singer Sean Riley
is a superb frontman. Plus you can tell that he is naturally a very funny guy
and an excellent performer, as his banter is effortless and comfortable.</div>

We were met by 3 of the 4 members of space-thrash geniuses <a href="https://www.facebook.com/VektorOfficial" target="_blank">Vektor</a>. I am so glad to have them as friends because before we met I was a huge
fan of their music - we all were. I find them very inspiring because they have
a sound that is completely their own, which is a difficult feat in the world of
heavy metal. Their arrangements are extraordinary, and every member is an
absolute savage on their instrument. They moved to Philadelphia from Arizona
last year, so they came and met us at the venue while we were in town. The show
went great and afterwards we went to the bass player and drummer’s apartment in
West Philadelphia for some sleep. Trying to find a place to park, we saw a
space down one block but were instructed not to go down that way “unless you
want to be shot.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Needless to say this
made our suburban white arseholes pucker with fear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got to their place we had a few
drinks and listened to Blake the drummer play us some unbelievable classical
piano. I also bugged him to play me some Billy Joel and Elton John songs while
I incoherently belted out the vocals from the other end of the room.<o:p></o:p><br />

The following day a few of the Vektor bros took us downtown
to get some cheese steaks and we laughed away the afternoon in anticipation of
our very first day off in New York.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last time we were in NYC we had a full afternoon there, but
I knew that New York is a city that comes alive when the sun goes down, and boy
was I right. This time around we had a night off, so we decided to head to
Manhattan to see a comedy show at the Comedy Cellar which is like Mecca for
comedy nerds like me and my brother. This is the place that is famous for
having huge stars come in to do sets regularly like Louis CK, Jim Norton, Chris
Rock, Dave Chappelle and many other comedy greats. It isn’t uncommon at the
cellar to get to see huge touring acts working out new material. When we got to
the front of the line, the bouncer almost didn’t let us in because he said I
looked too drunk. He wasn’t far off. I reasoned with the blurry gentleman of
color with a walkie-talkie by saying, “Listen man, I’m here to laugh not to
cause problems.” Unfortunately, as I reached into my pocket to show him my ID I
accidentally dropped my keys all over the goddamn sidewalk like a mongoloid
buffoon. I really have the class and social sophistication of a public
masturbator. Pardon my French, but I was nothing short of a good-for-nothing
scallywag on this particular evening. The show was tremendous and the comedians
had us all laughing our asses off the entire time. Us 5 dirt bags going to a
comedy club, we may as well have had a bull’s-eye on us. The host Ardie Fuqua
saw us and knew we were in a band just by our appearance. He asked us from the
stage, “What’s your band called?” we reply “Fatality.” Then he goes “Well you
know what else is dead? Your careers.”<br />

We were seated right next to Cuba
Gooding Jr. As he got up to leave the comedian told a joke about anal sex. As
Cuba was passing us he put his hands on Eytan and Sean's sun burnt shoulders
and yelled “ANAL!!!!” and left the club. Luckily, this wasn’t the first time
Eytan and Sean had a man holding their shoulders while a man stood behind them
screaming “ANAL!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
New York is a magical place. You don’t ever need to look for
a wild time; it just finds you as long as you go with the flow. When the show
finished and we were standing on the corner preparing to head back to Brooklyn,
where we were staying, a woman named Tracy from the comedy show approached us
and invited us to the bar next door to play beer pong. When we got to the door
of the next bar guess what happened? The bouncer didn’t want to let us in. This
time it wasn’t my obvious and palpable one-eye-open intoxication, but rather
mine and Eytan's slovenly tour attire of cutoff sleeveless shirts. Tracy ran in
and grabbed some Corona promotional T-shirts from the bar and we headed in to
our own little section of the bar with a beer pong table. Tracy bought us a
bunch of pitchers and seemingly endless rounds of shots. We spent the night
drinking, dancing and laughing our dicks off until last call and finally we
made our journey to Brooklyn to stay with our friend Nick from a band called
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Br%C3%B6hammer/" target="_blank">Bröhammer</a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/98333748@N04/9260476360/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="DSC_1008 by fatalitythrash1, on Flickr"><img alt="DSC_1008" height="400" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2845/9260476360_387ab751a3.jpg" width="266" /></a>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next morning we all awoke in a haze all at the same time. Mason
had crashed on one of those really tall air mattresses that was supplied by
Nick and set up for our arrival. To my complete delight I noticed that there
must have been a giant hole in the side of it and mason ended up on the hard
floor. We watched him wake up and realize his unfortunate predicament. He stood
up immediately in his undies and mumbled angrily “Fuck this. This sucks!” and
we all had an over-tired giggling fit that lasted about 15 minutes. After such
a wild and magical night, the next morning it all almost seems like a dream,
doesn’t it? Where did this Tracy girl come from, and why did she treat us like
royalty? Did she even exist? Or is she just a ghost of New York parties past?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next day we were playing a venue in Brooklyn called
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Saint-Vitus-Bar" target="_blank">Saint Vitus bar</a>. This is the place to be in New York. It really is a killer
metal bar. When we got there the first thing we did was order our favourite drink:
the Pickleback. It’s a shot of whiskey followed by a shot of Brooklyn pickle
brine. Sounds nasty, but I assure you the 2 flavours complement each other
beautifully and leave you with a joyous taste like you just had a nice warm
Ruben sandwich covered with booze. And I haven’t been able to find them
anywhere except Brooklyn. The show was fun as stink, and it was great to see
Bröhammer perform. The singer Joe has an amazingly powerful falsetto that he
wields with such aggression that it’s almost like watching someone walking a
tight rope, you know that it can all go wrong at any moment. But it never does.
We spent a lot of time with the bass player Nick. He is such a savage, and also
one of the funniest dudes I know. We spent most of today driving the streets of
Brooklyn while he made us laugh till or faces hurt by saying the most
ridiculous shit to pedestrians. Every time we past a gorgeous woman he would
lean out of the window and bellow “Yo gurl, how’s that smell?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yo, what dat smell like?” in the voice of
Tracy Morgan.<br />

Last night I had the shittiest sleep of all time. We were
put up by Brian from American thrash band <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LichKingMetal" target="_blank">Lich King</a> in a small town called
Greenfield, MA. He lives on a beautiful property at the end of a long, skinny
and winding forest road. We headed there after our set in Florence Mass for
some much needed shut eye. When we got there Brian gave us a tour of his
basement, which turned out to be an awesome recording studio. I would normally
be all too enthusiastic to be hanging out with all of this great recording
equipment and great company, but I was just too damn exhausted to hang out.
Instead of being a polite guest, while everyone was preoccupied I meticulously
and connivingly scoped out a place to sleep. “Forget these chumps I am
traveling with; I'm looking out for numero uno. Self-interest is the name of
the game, baby,” I selfishly grunted to myself. As the band was getting the
grand tour and being polite, I took off in a flash in search of a soft surface
to rest my weary head.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I came across a large room I can only describe as a utopia
of sleeping apparatuses: couches and bunk beds galore. I had my first pick of
all of them. I believe I started laughing maniacally before doing a quick test
sample of all of them with my fatigued fanny. Until I found it: the top bunk of
the bunk bed. I could not resist its charm. There is something about the top
bunk that has always been sacred. It has been fought for and coveted through
the ages in school-aged sleepovers since the invention of the stackable bed. I
love everything about the top bunk. Especially that intrepid and gallant
feeling you get as you pitter-patter up the silly little ladder. I scaled that
fuckin' dumb ladder in 2 and a half seconds and descended into sweet, sweet
comfort and relaxation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Enter Adam Zlotnik<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will say this right now. Sleeping on a bunk bed above Adam
Zlotnik is like trying to slow dance with an epileptic at a rave. It’s fucked.
He immediately hopped in the bottom bunk and made a phone call to my complete sorrow
and disappointment. Once the phone call was complete, he began tossing and
turning like a listless trout washed up on the beach of fuck-it. Once he got
settled he would go “AAAAH” like he had just drank a nice iced tea on a hot
day. All the while I was wiggling about on the top bunk like an asshole whose
only fault was being mind numbingly self-serving.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Then finally I approached rest. You know that warm and
tender feeling you get as you slip away into sweet unconsciousness? It’s like a
hug from your mother, and a pleasant bath all in one. I just started drifting…
and drifting… and drif…<o:p></o:p></div>

I immediately become fully alert and filled with homicidal
rage. I realize that it is Adam knocking in my bed from underneath me. “WHAT!?”
I squeaked like I had just had a dream of road rage. “Is that you snoring?” he
whispered. It was then that I look to the floor and find my brother and
drummer: self-sufficient snoring Mason on an inflatable air mattress that he
had the foresight to bring from home so that he would never have to sleep above
a gentleman with the personality and likeability of a wet sock ever again. “NO
IT’S MASON SNORING, AND NOW I HAVE A FRONT ROW SEAT FOR IT ASWELL YA PRICK!”
“…sorry.”<o:p></o:p></div>

Greetings gang,<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Spencer LeVon here whimsically gliding along the
Massachusetts Turnpike with my brothers, drained, clumsy, and dumb while at the
same time optimistic and ready for more. Last night was one of the crazier
nights I have encountered while touring. We just left the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SonicPulse" target="_blank">Sonic Pulse</a>
headquarters, which is a house on a residential street in a town called
Framingham. We performed at a rowdy house party for the 4<sup>th</sup> of July
and shit got out of control immediately. Let me get back to that later, because
since last we spoke, we were barreling out of control towards the American
border with a fear of having our cavities searched.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/98333748@N04/9218477710/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="DSC_0697 by fatalitythrash1, on Flickr"><img alt="DSC_0697" height="274" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2872/9218477710_8df4b05baf.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Crossing the border into Vermont was actually as quick and
painless as I have ever encountered. With some luck, we got the only border
official with a sense of humor in the history of travel. Imagine Foghorn
Leghorn wearing rubber gloves. We had some playful banter with the guy, and the
only slight snag was when our roadie Sean had to prove his American citizenship
without having a US passport, during which time the border guard took the
opportunity to shuffle a pair of handcuffs in his hand like poker chips.
Despite this minor setback we were in and out in about 20 minutes, which was a
real treat. I may have gotten a tad too comfortable when he said “That will be
$24 for the 5 of ya, and you can be on your way.” “Make it $23 and you’ve got a
deal,” I confidently barked back to the visible horror of my bandmates. Why the
hell do I push my luck? We weren’t even in the country yet. He could and
probably should have violated our bungholes out of sheer principle.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first gig in the states was in Portland. We played with
one of my favorite bands <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hessian/178274836477" target="_blank">Hessian</a> and our new metal amigos <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BlackMassBand" target="_blank">Black Mass</a>. We had an
absolute blast and ended up staying and partying late with a dude we befriended
last time we were in town named Kevin. He is an absolute lifer. A guy in his
late 40’s with more energy and passion for heavy metal than anyone I have ever
met. He thrilled us all night with his amazing music collection, notably a
super rare tape of Van Halen from before they made their first album. A
collection of demos as well as audio from Pasadena High School dances and sound
checks when the VH boys were in their late teens. We loved those recordings so
much that Kev gave us a copy.<o:p></o:p></div>

We drove to our friend
Matt Tomasz from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/seaxmetal" target="_blank">Seax</a>’s hideaway in a cabin on a river in a rural area of Maine.
Apparently this was the river that the first priest was executed in during the
Salem witch trials. When we got there it was raining, and no one was home. We
let ourselves in and were greeted by 2 enormous dogs and some serenity. We
spent the entire day resting, playing chess and listening to Zappa records
while all of our friends back home were undoubtedly vomiting on each other in
the name of the great nation of Canada. I slept for 16 hours.<o:p></o:p><br />

The following night we performed in Worcester at a bar
called Hotel Vernon. What a divine shithole that place is. It was a dive bar,
but for all the right reasons. Free peanuts, a piano, pool table and $1 draft
beers. The venue section of the bar looked as if it were the bowels of an old
wooden sailing ship. It was a fitting, because after overzealously consuming $1
beers, everyone in the bar developed a severe case of wobbly sea legs. Also,
after a full week of malnutrition, I think I may have the scurvy. I was very
impressed by the great and many talents of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/seaxmetal" target="_blank">Seax</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BlackMassBand" target="_blank">Black Mass</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SKULL.HAMMER.OFFICIAL" target="_blank">Skull Hammer</a>.
AYE MATIES!<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On to Providence, Rhode Island. We played at a very interesting
Gothic style bar in an industrial area. The whole place was decked out in
velvet and lit candle chandeliers. Mason said it best when he remarked that it
looked like “Dracula’s living room.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That leads us into the bizarre and outrageous night that I had
mentioned in the first paragraph: the 4<sup>th</sup> of July house party at the
Sonic Pulse headquarters. The house was decked out with bands in the basement,
depraved partying all throughout the house and a BBQ pool party in the back
complete with women in bikinis having water gun fights and grown men in Speedos
playing a good natured game of grab ass. Did I mention there was some of the
more self-destructive daytime drinking I have ever witnessed? When we got to
play our set we were all already blasted out of our minds. I had the distinct
pleasure of wearing Dan Hammers headset microphone. I felt like Ted Nugent if
he wasn’t a right wing lunatic, but instead a clumsy Canadian with too many day
beers in his gut. What a night, man. We raged into the evening, until a group
of us decided to go for a midnight dip in a nearby reservoir, coupled with a
beautiful view of the stars in the Massachusetts night sky.</div>

You need to see the pictures taken by our buddy and
roadie extraordinaire: <a href="http://seandecory.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Sean DeCory</a>, because they are absolutely wild. All of the photos are now available on our new <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/98333748@N04/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> account. Also,
please check out the Fatality Podcast at <a href="http://www.fatality.podbean.com/">www.fatality.podbean.com</a> for more
excerpts of goofy storytelling and camaraderie form the road. God, I love this
life of mine. What makes it all the better is that I get to share it will all
of my friends coast to coast and be inspired by their fire, and then share that
same fire the next night with a whole roomful of likeminded others.
Positivitiy, sisters and brothers.</div>

Goddamn, Quebec roads stink. I swear, Quebec must be the
pylon capital or the world, because the highway looks like an in-line skating
course gone horribly wrong. A local told me that this is because the
construction companies started repairing the roads all over the province, but
then went halfway through the job went on strike in hopes of more money from
the government. And although I would rather gouge out my left eye with an AIDS
dick then navigate these godforsaken roads I must admit, that is a gangster-ass
move. <o:p></o:p></div>

It all started off in
our hometown of Toronto on Friday night for our album launch of new record
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/album/psychonaut/id659165470?v0=9988&ign-mpt=uo%3D1" target="_blank">Psychonaut</a>. What a night. Special thanks to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/callofthewildofficial" target="_blank">Call of the Wild</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/shotguncure?fref=ts" target="_blank">Shotgun Cure</a>
for the support. Great night from start to finish. It was a real confidence
booster playing to a packed house of friends and fans that have been keeping an
eye on us from our humble beginnings in the metal scene, trying new things,
experimenting and introspectively defining who we are as a group of unique
individuals in this crazy-ass metal band. Toronto has for sure shaped who we
are as people and as a band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can see
it in our work ethic, our open minds towards people and experiences, and
similarly in our eternal search for a unique identity that you must cultivate
to survive in a city of 2.6 million. Thank you to everyone who came out and had
a crazy night with us. The memories of that one night of bliss will act as
positivity fodder for when I am inevitably playing to 5 indifferent strangers
in town called “Fuckton” or “Weaselburg” on a Tuesday night in exchange for
slightly-discounted mozzarella sticks.</div>

Right now I am watching as my guitar player Eytan heroically
takes a leak into a bottle as we faithfully maneuver the labyrinthine
clusterfuck that is Quebec construction. It is these kinds of moments when I
look deep into my own soul and softly whisper my newfound mantra: “I should
have been a dentist. I should have been a dentist…”<o:p></o:p></div>

Last night we played Piranha Bar in Montreal. What a truly
amazing city Montreal is. 100% authentic and unique in every way. But I must
ask, is everyone in Montreal a 10? Goodness, even the homeless look like
Abercrombie models. I can see that diet being a big hit, the Montreal homeless
diet. “Eat nothing but peach pits, pizza crusts, wine dregs and
gutter-marinated smoked meat and have washboard abs in a month and a half.” We
went up last night with no set list or idea of what we were going to play. That
is fun to do every now and again. It helps us develop our onstage improvisation
and musicianship to go by the seats of our collective pants. That kind of
performance is conducive to spontaneity that I have always thought was a great
device for compelling entertainment. Like a rollercoaster with no restraints.
Apparently our friends Sam and Max got engaged to each other during our title track
Psychonaut. That’s a first! I’m glad they waited until we were actually playing
a song and I was finished talking about my penis.<o:p></o:p></div>

As we continue rumbling towards the United States we have a
nervous energy because we know we will be at the mercy of whomever we meet at
the border. They have absolute power over us. They have the ability to cancel
our whole trip, and potentially our music careers, and even more shocking, they
have the unchecked authority to look in our bums. We are currently at our last gas
stop before crossing over into the States and we are frantically cleaning the
van, making sure we made no mistakes with our paper work and throwing out all
of our plums and pears. Is that the biggest threat to national security?
Fuckin' plum smugglers?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are they looking
to prevent crimes of Passionfruit?<o:p></o:p></div>

I will be sure to let you know how it goes. Stay tuned for
more blog entries and keep track of us on our brand new podcast entitled “The
Fatality Backseat LeVoncast” to take a rare look into the conversations and
adventures of a touring metal band as we do our darnedest to conquer the world
with nothing but a mild headache, an unfortunate road diet and no sleep. You
can search for it and subscribe to it on iTunes in the Podcast section, or you
can find it at <a href="http://www.fatality.podbean.com/">www.fatality.podbean.com</a>.
Did I mention that it’s free????<o:p></o:p></div>

As I sit here in Eytan
and Adam’s backyard with the sun in the sky and Red Fang blasting on the
stereo.. To my left I can hear the
Spanish family next door screaming at eachother and eating lunch, and to my right
I can hear the sounds of the rest of the band getting last-minute details ready
before we start the sequence of the many huge announcements and projects that
we have been painstakingly and diabolically creating for ourselves, setting up
the thrash dominoes and lookin' forward to flickin' those fuckin' things and
watchin' em tumble. With our collective fingers on the detonator we feel like a
pack of war-ready Kim Jong Uns with slightly less baby fat.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, we have finished
tracking our sophomore album entitled “Psychonaut,” and have the release date
settled. Mark your calendars for June 28<sup>th</sup>, as we will be having a
massive CD release party and tour launch at Sneaky Dee’s with Shotgun Cure and
Call of the Wild. I am absolutely beaming with pride with this album. You can
expect increasingly more modern, mature sounds and lyrical content, married
with that signature no-holds-barred Fatality vibe and attitude that we are
known for. We also have a massive tour lined up in support.</div>
<br />
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Wait, shit, rewind, did
I say tour???? By golly, I did. You can also look forward to a large-scale 70-day
tour of Canada and the United States in support of the best recording work we
have done to date. I can’t wait to spend my summer in a metal tube on wheels
with my best friends making this bizarre dream come true. Take a look at our
tour dates and see if we are playing in a town near you, because we would love
to see you, and have a drink, joke around and kick each other in the nuts, or
whatever it is that dudes do. Having the opportunity to play all this new music
in front of a new crowd every night is daunting but ultimately rewarding. It’s
like the movie <i>Groundhog Day</i>, except
we’re seeking the love of a roomful of random drunks rather than trying to fuck
Andie MacDowell.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We have also filmed a
professional music video with <a href="http://bleedingheartproductions.ca/" target="_blank">Bleeding Heart Productions</a> for our single
“Thoughts Collide”. We don’t have a release date just yet, but keep your eyes
peeled for that video, because it is gonna change your fucking life.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Now, here is what you
can do to get involved and be a part of this wild venture of ours. We have
created an <a href="http://igg.me/at/fatality" target="_blank">Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign</a> and a sweet video that explains
exactly what we are doing and how you can help. Basically, as an independent
band, the main thing that we lack is proper funding. So what we are doing is
creating a way for you to support us by pre-ordering the album, or pitching in
a few bucks to receive really cool perks, including: merch bundles, a recording
of a love song written by me, music lessons by any member of the band, and
entrance to the exclusive listening party and video launch. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So please, check out
the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7cti1up5zY&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">video</a> and contribute a few bucks to keep us on this righteous journey of
ours.</div>

I am sure that I will
continue writing some blog entries on our travels, but now that I have my
brother Mason LeVon on tour with us, we have decided to record a Podcast
entitled “<a href="http://www.fatality.podbean.com/" target="_blank">the Fatality Backseat LeVoncast</a>” as a vehicle to chronicle our
travels, tell stories, dick jokes, and recount our failures and victories. I am
so happy to have this outlet because it will give the world a look into the
scope of a touring metal band and the conversations, personalities, trials and
tribulations that make up this very unique and entertaining scenario. You can
search for it on iTunes, or check it out at <span lang="FR"><a href="http://www.fatality.podbean.com/"><span lang="EN-US">www.fatality.podbean.com</span></a></span> and at the bottom of this post.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 18.88888931274414px;">What a great way to spend the weekend: gallivanting like the pack of giggling boobs that we are. It has been over a year since we have been to Montreal, so we are super excited to showcase all our new material and almost definitely eat a poutine that is bigger than our heads and rub a currently-above-.500 Maple Leafs season in everyone’s face. I can see it now: “Hey, look who’s briefly hangin’ in there, eh? We’d have to collapse harder than usual to fuck it up again this year!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 18.88888931274414px;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 18.88888931274414px; text-align: left;">This mini tour will be a celebration for us as we as we come to the final phase of the production for our upcoming sophomore album which will, mark my words, give your earholes a staggering evening of savage love making and, like a gentleman, call you a cab the following morning. We are also lining up some huge projects in the summer including extensive touring, a professional music video, and a few other things that will hopefully put this band over the top. So stay tuned for those announcements in the coming months.</span><br />

So take a look at our revamped merch store <a href="http://fatalitymerch.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>, because not only is all of our stock at an all-time low price, but it is also all going out of print. So get it before it’s gone, folks! These are guaranteed to become collector’s items, insofar as they are definitely items, and having at least one constitutes a collection.</span><br />

This is Spencer LeVon here
peck-pecking away at Adam Zlotnik's laptop like a fat girl on myspace. Right
now I am just listening to a bit of jazz and relaxing in between the frantic
and frenzied activities that consume the life of a modern working musician.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I don’t know what my
problem is lately. As I get older, I
seem to be developing the musical taste of Elmer Fudd. My hairline isn’t far
behind either. I am not entirely sure where my jazz infatuation came from, but
I have a feeling it came out of necessity. All day while I am stuck in traffic,
waiting in one of life’s many lines or something as simple as waiting for the
brainless zero in front of me to make up his mind about what kind of pizza
slice he would like to order while simultaneously maintaining a phone
conversation with his girlfriend with his iPhone wedged in between his fat head
and his shoulder; my inner self-important, narcissistic, selfish self rears his
ugly head. While I am in full-fledged Sam Kinison mode, I hear ceaseless
hammering blast beats in my mind. All I can hear is the beat of my heart pulsating
like a frantic Dave Lombardo drum solo as my blood pressure soars from high to
higher and I develop the anxiety of Anne Frank wearing tap-shoes. The desire to commit crimes against humanity
seems overwhelming. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Yet somehow, jazz
music seems to help me with this. A bit
of Jazz goes a long way folks. Fuck medication, fuck meditation, and fuck yoga.
Pick up a Lenny Breau album and watch as your inner demons softly melt into
fedora-wearing angels snapping their fingers in syncopated time. The likelihood of living out my
murder-murder-murder-suicide fantasy approaches zero.<o:p></o:p></div>

I plan to unwind this
weekend as me and the Fatality boys will be heading into the recording studio
in Oak Ridges. I have always felt relaxed and comfortable in recording studios.
It’s as relaxing as shitting with the home-toilet advantage. I don’t know what it is about the recording process
that I find soothing. I think it is the fact that I am blessed to be working
with my best friends with a common goal in mind. Enjoying the gift of pure
expression, I feel like a grinning Wile E. Coyote as he drags his cartoon detonator
device behind a boulder and waits to set off the stack of dynamite that he mischievously
placed along a winding desert road, in hopes of finally vaporizing that fucking
bird once and for all.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You can expect an
enlightened new full-length album to be released this summer as well as an
extensive tour of Canada and the United States. I really can’t wait to be set
loose on metal fans across this continent and do what we have been training to
do all our lives. It really is a beautiful life, and the more I reflect on all
of the great opportunities we are creating for ourselves the happier I become.
I am generally a happy camper, as long as no one is taking more time then I
deem appropriate to order a cunting slice of pizza.<o:p></o:p><br />

This is Spencer LeVon writing to you
from the Esquire Great Eastern Chinese restaurant in beautiful North York
Toronto. I just got fired from my job 15 minutes ago and I am trying to ease
the pain with some general Tao chicken. Typical white guy order. I may as well
have just asked the Asian gentlemen at the counter what they have that tastes
the most like chicken wings. If there were a way to somehow add mayonnaise to
this dish, I'm sure I would submit to a full on fit of honkey-boy ecstasy.<br />

Getting fired is great isn’t it? Not quite as fun as
quitting, mind you. Because at least then it is on your terms. But really when
you get down to it, getting fired is just gods way of telling you to watch more
daytime television. I might normally be tempted to contemplate my future or perhaps
simply yell at myself shirtless in the mirror, rhetorically asking myself how a
chinless nobody like myself managed to survive this long. But I can’t. There is just too much cool shit happening to even begin
feeling bummed out for a minute.<br />
<br />
For starters, Fatality has got an old school
weekend warrior road trip lined up this weekend with gigs in Ottawa and
Toronto. We kick it off on this Friday November the 2<sup>nd </sup>in our
nations capital with our thrash companions Aggressor, Mastery, Criticull and
our buddies from the Yukon, Sanktuary. The very next day we will be peeling our
sorry asses off of whatever floor we managed to stick to, and head straight to
Toronto to perform a headlining show at the Hard Luck Bar alongside Aggressor,
Mastery, Lethal Voltage and our French Canadian buddies in Eternal Judgment.
This is just what I need. 2 nights of screeching insanity with a pack of bands
that I care deeply for.</div>

What is better is that all of this excitement will lead us
into our final portion of songwriting and the transition into the studio to
record our second full-length album. Holy shit! I am completely pleased with
our new material. It is a little bit more dynamic and daring, but still as razor
sharp and potent as always. I really cannot wait to take these tracks into the
studio and bring them to life. You can catch some of our new material at the up
coming gigs this weekend!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To celebrate my newfound free time, I have some fresh
content for all ya'll. First up, here is a promo video made by our bass player
Adam Zlotnik to promote our Toronto headliner gig on November 3<sup>rd</sup>.
The footage used was from our last Headliner at the Hard Luck on September 1st.
God damn we have a lotta fun! We also threw in an awful blowjob joke in there
for good measure.</div>

We also have a batch of photos we took a few months back
with the beautiful and talented Victoria J. Polsoni featured in this blog. They turned out great, and
she did a really good job. I think the only reason we didn’t release these
earlier is because my hair looks like a mix between Helen hunt and “The Leader”
of the Movmentarien cult from that Simpsons episode. Yuck. What was I
thinking?!<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyways, I’m going to wrap up this blog and take my chicken
to go, because I am unemployed and I don’t want to miss the Power Puff girls on
YTV.<br />

For many, September is a time of stress and disappointment. This might be that it represents the “back to school” season or perhaps it represents the beginning of the transition between summer to winter. The whole thought of September might have you as cold and miserable as a sound guy.<br />
<br />
That’s a bit of a strange analogy, but why are most sound guys so universally disgruntled? I have a feeling it is because they are just “guys” but they have always wanted to be “men”. That would be devastating, wouldn’t it? Being just a guy. Because as we all know “guy” is the moniker that we give members of society that we don’t fully respect. Take “pizza guy” for example. He is just a goddamn guy. Have you ever met a “police guy”? Didn’t think so!<br />
<br />
However you feel about the month of September, I have 2 reasons for you to turn that frown upside down and to make the feeling a little bit more manageable. Reason #1 is that you get to break out all those dope leather jackets that have been patiently waiting in your closet all season to make you look cool while all the while you have been gallivanting like a bumbling fool with shorts on as people look on with disgust after making harsh eye contact with your awful inner thighs.<br />
<br />
The second reason is because we are throwing a massive all ages rager at the Hard Luck Bar on September 1st. It has been a good goddamn while since we put on a big Fatality production like this because we have been habitually busy in the Laboratory (the Fatality jam space) writing the best material we have ever written. So what better way to celebrate the next chapter of the Fatality legacy then to put on a gigantic all ages Heavy Metal party to showcase all our new songs which will be recorded and released on our next album.<br />
<br />
Helping us get the party started is Toronto doom band “Pyres” who I can only describe as Black Sabbath on acid. On next is the return of Mastery, who have just been added to the bill. These dudes have been laying low for some time and are back in stage form and will be joining us to kick some ass with their new vocalist! We also have Folk Metal party monsters Crimson Shadows playing to make sure that you have a fabulous sound track for your night of shameful binge drinking. And on right before us will be our good buddies in Unleash the Archers. Or UTA as they are also known coming all the way from Vancouver, BC!<br />
<br />
So do yourself a favor and save the date of Saturday September 1st. Call in sick to work, TVO that awful fuckin' show that you love, drunk proof your apartment and come out to the Hard Luck and enjoy our celebration of friends and Heavy Metal Music. Look forward to the usual surprises and remember that this is an all ages show, so invite any youngins who would enjoy the experience, because there seems to be less and less opportunities for young folk to enjoy live Metal in Toronto. Also, don’t invite any “sound guys”.<br />
<br />
Goddamn, I can’t wait.<br />

soft piano music, lighthearted stories, jokes and some of his favorite
love songs to take the edge off. So fry up a few eggs, draw the blinds
