Greys

Hello. We are playing the second of @aof_official's four nights at @thedanforthmusichall on Monday June 19th, and some pals are playing the other nights so you're in great company either way. They'll be releasing tickets tomorrow (June 9th) @ 10am so keep those clickin' fingers ready. George from Alexis has this to say about us: "Greys, never met these guys but I like their music a lot. Very excited to have them on the bill. Artistic, punky grunge with pithy song titles and slick looking artwork. What's not to like?" He's not wrong. xo (at The Danforth Music Hall)

Toronto's biggest psychos in the aftermath of the last show at the Silver Dollar. Dan Burke was one of the first promoters in the city to book our band (and so many others would proudly say the same) and the Dollar was one of the only legit clubs and non-DIY spaces in the city that our community could really call home, solely because he took chances on us. For me, the Dollar felt like it belonged to our scene in a lot of ways. It felt like a place where anyone was welcome. You could pop in any night of the week and see pals and catch a great band, and we were so lucky to have inherited a place so rich with character and history - even luckier to have a legend like Dan running the show. Sure it was a shithole, but it was our shithole. Spaces where people can create and share art are vital, but it takes folks like Dan and the others in this picture to maintain strong communities. To paraphrase the man himself, a room is just a room without the right people keeping it going. I will miss the Dollar dearly, but I will always feel so lucky to be surrounded by folks like this. xo (at The Silver Dollar Room)

dark times but at least we had each other this year. have a better one ✌🏽️ - [📷: @dannypatterson]

got the gift of FRIENDSHIP seven years ago today, when @braedenc met Shehzaad as Johnny Depp interrupted their conversation about Glassjaw and the Dillinger Escape Plan at @comradeclaws' bday party. and just a year after that, Braeden would join a band Shehzaad and his friend @camgraham25 had started for shits with their buddy @briansleeps. they'd play a bunch of shows and start booking tours after recording in Shehzaad's dad's basement with @joshkorody while @sean_rm cooked them all dinner. some of the best shows were at a garage in Chinatown run by some guys who had just started a label called @buzzrecords. they'd meet @colinroygillespie at one of those garage shows, who coincidentally lived across the street from Shehzaad and had just started working with Braeden. they'd toured around North America for the first time that summer and thought "hey this is more fun than school and jobs and we are young and still have all our hair so let's do this more," and thus baby Jesus was born and he grew up to destroy the Death Star with the help of Harry Potter and all the other hobbits. the best Christmas gift anyone could ever ask for was a chance meeting like this that'd eventually lead to six years of best friendship and traveling the world to fight crime and inconvenience people, which allowed us to meet even more amazing friends along the way. six years and it's more fun than it's ever been. sending hugs to everyone we've met over the years who ever showed us some love and for some reason still let us sleep at your houses or book us shows or feed us or put out our records or record our dumb songs or print our shirts or fix our gear or whatever. sorry about all the giggling. happy holidays. xo (at Claudia's House)

Said goodbye to an old friend last night to make space for two new ones. Thanks for coming on every tour we've ever done, and not getting mad when I stopped using you for an older model. Sorry for riding you like a skateboard that one time. You were always there for me. I'll never forget you and I miss you already. Goodbye, '04 Mustang. Hello, '71 Mustang and '56 Duo-Sonic. Let's make some new memories together. Hey @the_creamery let's chat.

Oh neat our Facebook page got un-hacked! Thanks, Mark Zuckerberg. I think the hax0r deleted some followers but they were probably on the fence anyway. Go "like" it if you want! Don't be a follower make your own decisions!

Hi someone hacked our Facebook page and deleted like three years worth of our *~content~* and also we didn't get Metallica tickets so maybe today will be better than yesterday idk.

#tbt to a year ago when we were heading home from the west coast to finish up Outer Heaven. Does not feel like a year, but in that time we managed to put out a 7", an LP and a tape, plus tour around this big ol' continent like seventeen times or whatever. Having no more shows on the horizon is a weird feeling. For all the crazy shit that happened this year, we're glad we got to spend the majority of it seeing old friends and making new ones. Thanks to everyone who showed us some love in 2016 - sending it right back 2 u. Stoked to sleep forever! ❤️❤️❤️ k bye xox

Posting this because I didn't really see it shared around all that much. We are NOT okay with this, and nor should you be. This is in OUR city. I grew up in Toronto and have always been proud to tell people that it is the most multicultural place in the world and that I have never felt threatened or unwelcome here. If I see nonsense like this anywhere, I am going to remove it, and so should you. If I see somebody in the process of spreading this hate speech - and that is what this is - I will stop them. If I have to get into a fight as a tiny guy who's never thrown a punch in his life, then that is what I will do. This is not okay. It's been a fucking WEEK. I do not want to feel this way and I hate that my friends at home and abroad are feeling unsafe due to this bullshit. I don't know what else to say. I am heartbroken that people in my hometown would do this. I am so sorry, for everyone. We are with you, always. (at Toronto, Ontario)

Traveled far for a little Big Star. We got a tour of @ardentstudios courtesy of none other than Jody Stephens. And now we're eating ribs. 10/10 would relive this day again. (at The Bar-B-Q Shop)

Wowee zowee it was nice to be home for a couple days. Thanks so much to @whitelungofficial for having us again - we love you! ❤️❤️❤️ Heading back to New York to start the rest of our tour dates for the year. Come say hi before we hibernate forever!

Did a studio jawn (lol) for @kexp the last time we were in Seattle and you can see the whole thing... right now!

Hi we are playing live on @kexp at 3pm PST before our show at @neumos_ tonight. Listen and loin. (at Seattle, Washington)

Wrote some stuff. Glad @metro kept my proposed headline. If you need a brown guy to talk about some shit, I'm your... brown guy.

Playing @halifaxpopx this October.
