Show on the Road 1: Canada and Europe 2009
Welcome to Show on the Road, an ongoing documentary of our experiences on tour.
We love being an independent band – booking our own gigs, building an audience on our own terms, and sharing our music with as many people as we can. One thing we always wanted to do was to share that experience with fans, other musicians, and filmmakers.
Well, now we’ve done it. Thanks to the Internet and some hard-working and patient geeks (thanks Agent Blank!), we now proudly present Show on the Road. We hope you enjoy it, this is our first attempt at this sort of thing so all your feedback is welcome!

The trio kiss goodbye to their trusty workhorse, Boff, and the land of plentiful meat, squirrels, grandiose buildings and fantastic audiences. The trio will sorely miss all you fine Canadians. Europe, keep your ears out for some fine folk coming your way.
