Q1, Would you like to introduce yourself?
WE ARE KNIFEY! We’re a rock band from Toronto and we’re pleased to meet you.
Q2, What are your phobias?
Spiders. On a side note, how come I am willing to pay good money for and eat a foot-long crab leg, and yet when I see a spider that’s 5 cm wide I start sweating and panicking? New song idea?
Q3, How many pairs of shoes do you have?
1 pair of Vans, 1 pair of dress shoes, one pair of boots. I’m a footware utilitarian. Just ride them into the ground and get a fresh pair.
Q4, What are your irritating habits?
I set multiple alarms across two phones in the morning, and snooze all of them, creating a glorious symphony of alarms. I keep trying to explain to my girlfriend that it’s a all part of the process of creating experimental avant-garde music, but it’s nearly left me single on several occasions. Not even joking.
Q5, What things embarrass you?
I like to be low-key in public and get super embarrassed when people I’m with are loud, especially on public transit.
Q6, When did you last smuggle goods through customs?
I smuggled a stuffed animal Armadillo with a Texas hat into Canada about 2 weeks ago. Sniffer dogs walked by about 8 times. Knifey 1, US border control 0.
Q7, Who is your favourite actor?
I’m thinking Steve Carrel. Simply a class act. Also, that man has aged like a fine wine. For pure acting: Daniel Day Lewis. Although, I think collectively we’re obligated to say Keanu Reeves (just wait for our album to be released to find out why )
Q8, And, most importantly, what is your favourite type of cookie?
The big one from Bruce Almighty!
G’day. (‘Later’, too. Out for a ride.)
Hello Folks
Beautiful morning, even if a little chilly.
Chilly here too. BUT IT’S GOING UP TO 17 (63) TODAY! Friggin’ Florida…
Good morning.
We were close to 35 yesterday, far too hot. Cloudy and cooler going to 25 today.
It’s around 14°c here and due to rain soon (next 5 minutes)
It’s 11° here supposed to go to 17° and have some showers this afternoon
We’re supposed to get to 25° later in the week.
I keep putting the news on to see what is happening in the world, forgetting that we are getting wall to wall coverage of the Umpalumpas state visit
Frig, I feel for you guys, Garfield! I have trouble putting up with the sound of his voice, and if I’m close enough, I switch the damned media off. And when I think of all the nice, welcoming platitudes Queen E. had to mouth… she deserves better than that…
…individual.
not unlike a kidney stone, this too shall pass
Hello! Back from Vancouver and swamped getting ready for the kids graduation.
I was in the garden by 6:45am as it has been scorching here as well.
Finally in for brunch and a nap.
Time Baker was amazeballs! Liz and I went for a nice dinner first. The show included several guests near the end including Said the Whale, Yukon Blonde and Dan Mangan. Both encores were great too. Missed my bus but totally worth it. Thank goodness I could sleep and rest the next day away.
Cool Morgana, glad you had a good time in Vancouver.
Sounds like a great show.
I think Nick produced some of their stuff, from what i heard it sounds pretty good!
Hi Wynnzie!
The liner notes say Marcus Paquin produced the album.
The album is very good. The sound at the concert was exceptional from where I was in the Commodore. We chose a seat near the sound man. He did a great job but I did not expect him to be standing, dancing, clapping and videoing during the whole show … did not see as much as I would have liked.
and yes, Hello!
Hi Morgana
Good day to you as well GarfieldUK:)
I really have to go lay down for a bit but I will check back in after.
you could check this out while i rest. what would your days plan look like?

I would probably try to catch Rae Spoon, Wax Mannequin, Peach Pit and Tariq, and see what catches my ear the rest of the time (or pick a stage and watch whatever comes on)
Sounds like a great time morgana! I saw some comments on social media on how great a show it was. Jealous!
I had a great time in Saskatoon and the Doomsquad/Operators show as well. I would have liked to have seen more people there but those that were there were up and dancing!
Kimmortal would be high on my list. Wax Mannequin, Rae Spoon, Andrew Judah and Peach Pit would make it hard for me to go to another venue. Cam Penner and Moontricks might lure me to The Village. Abigail Lapell, Tariq, Shirley Gnome at Schoolhouse are tempting as well. I would mark down my must sees and look at what works best around that.
I have all those musicians except Peach Pitt on my list. Also Abagail Lapell, Hello Moth, Corwin Fox, Fox Glove, Dana Sips, Cam Penner and Maddie Sotovold. I will be seeing Moontricks and Small Town Artillery in Kaslo.
and now off to the grocery store …
