Thanks for all the positive feedback on our Christmas cover. It was a lot of fun to get together and work on.
New Years Eve we played a show at Art Bar in Kitchener. We kicked off the set with a cover of The Beatles 'Free as a Bird' right at midnight. It's neat that we all spent the first few moments of the year together, in that musical space.
There was a table of interlopers right in front of our performance area who were hassling us while we setup. I bit my tongue then, but it'll be immortalized here: You guys are assholes. Next time I see you I'm gonna kick you.
The whole band has been in this weird fucking headspace limbo since we returned from our tour last spring. Trying to figure out what to do next (besides put a little piece of ourselves into a record and share it with people). Trying to balance the music with the day gig, trying not to get sucked into the machine and lose sight of why we're here doing this together.
The tour we did has killed better bands than Vacuity. And although it wasn't able to kill Vacuity, it did make us sick and confused. When you come back from a near death experience you tend to question the way you were. And I think maybe we've been doing that.
Anyways. We're gonna stick around. Stay tuned.

I have never had the joy of kicking off a New Year (and decade!)with live music right at midnight. Kicked ass!
And I was going to stand infront of that table...then I was advised not to cause a scene...
chops.
you've got 'em.
i mean, you have to be something of a masochist to be in this business of art, don't you?
without self doubt, a lot of things end up lacking in meaning, i think. or at least, some people make their best expressions when they are least sure of who they are, where they're going, where they've come from. cliche? i dunno... but where's my friggin' accent aigue!?
Hey if you are looking for a security advisor/personel, Im game. I enjoy kicking the shit out of ignorant tools and only ask for beer in payment maybe some bandaids for my knuckles,lol.
