Hey all ! I know it's been forever since I have updated this, but figured I would tell you all that we are getting the band up and rolling again. Over the past few mon ths Kurt and I have been writting some new material, and we now have a drummer who is Crazy anxious to play for you all. So keep checking back, be sure your part of our facebook group. That way you will be one of the first people to know as things evolve.
Cheers !

It's that time of year again ! Kurt Cobain Tribute Show VI is underway ! We have some familiar faces returning to ther stage, as well as a new Bassist. Opening the show off is a couple of guys from Servants Of Society who have put together a set especially for this show, and have named themselves The Dropouts. Kyle who has graced the Cobain Tribute show stage on many occasions with Ends & Means is returning with his new band Cocktail Hostages. HCE who played last year have returned to play again, last year they put on a great set of covers from other influential Seattle bands, much of who led Kurt and Nirvana to the sound we all know. So look forward to another great show from them. We are pleased to say that we have Teen Touch taking all the proceeds again to support our local youth through many different issues they may face in their day to day lives. Make sure to get your tickets, and of course we want to make this a bigger success than ever ! The show is at The Pyramid this year, on April 3rd. Come out and support this show, it has been a HUGE success in the past, and always can be better than ever !

Giv'R would like to thank both Dan and Scott for their time in the band, Dan left about a month ago, and we just wrapped up the last jam with Scotty last night. It's been a huge pleasure having them in the band, good luck to both of them for the future. That being said of course, we need new members hahaha. I think main focus is on a drummer, but first Cam and I will be writing a bunch of new songs while we have the chance, THEN we will focus on teaching new members the old and new songs. All in hopes to be ready and back in full force for April. You all know what April means to Giv'R, we have our annual Kurt Cobain Tribute Show for charity. This will be 6 years running, I can't wait !!!!!!!!!! Talk to you all soon !

Huge thanks to those who were out on Wednesday at Dylans, results have not come through yet, so I will keep you all posted.
Great meeting people out at XFest this year, hope people got good use, or atleast a good laugh with our promotional condoms. For anyone who hasn't seen them, they are real, totally functional condoms with a sticker that says "I got laid thanks to Giv'R" Who wouldn't want one of those ?!?!?!?
As you can see, we have a couple more dates coming up, one who is with REV THEORY From New York ! That will be awesome, you have maybe all heard their singles on the radio "Hell Yeah" as well as "Light It Up" I am getting posters today, so will have more info. We are the very first band, probably at around 9 PM.
That's all for now other than WOOOOOO HOOOOO SEETHER TONIGHT !

Huge thanks to those who have been to the last couple of shows ! Countryfest was a blast. it was really wet and muddy Thursday night when we played, anbd unfortunately too many people were hibernating in their tents when we played, but the troupers were out, and we thank you. We all have stories of the trials and tribulations from that weekend of getting there, and back. I am not going to post them, but if you would like, just ask us, and maybe we will share lol. We started giving away Giv'R condoms at countryfest, so hope people are using them, and remembering our website after and coming to see us. The last show was Canada Day at the Zoo, and quite a few people were out for that, we played as a three piece which is a little different from the normal. Cam was in Alberta for a vacation. I am HUGELY looking forward to the Supersuckers show on the 30th. These guys are out of Seattle, and will kick serious ass ! Come on down !

Grrreat Success!! (said like Borat)
Cobain Show was awesome. Lots of Nirvana, lots of drinking and broken instruments. Need i say more? Huge thanks to everyone who supported a great cause by buying a ticket. We raised $1200 for Teen Touch (Youth Speak) after bar fees and nonsuch. Big thanks to "Ends and Means", "HCE" and "Noumenon" for helping put on such a great show.

As of this week, we have put up another 50 signs that are bigger, badder, and better! Please keep an eye out for the new 11x17 bright yellow monstrosities as we froze our asses off in the -43 C to put them up. To prove our cold weather experience, watch the Shaw video above and check out the weather warning at the bottom. This show was aired the day after we put up the signs.

I think you will all be very happy with what we are doing to show our Thanks to all of you ! And of course if you missed the last one, we would love to have you out as well for the next one, and you will as well get the package we have put together to help your decision in spending $15 for a local show. Without all of you, we will not be able to make it to the next round, so please help us help you come out and have a great night with us ! How many tickets we sell will decide when we go on stage. So if we sell a lot, we get to choose our time better, so please, please, please help us out.
And dont forget about voting for us online. Every little bit helps. you can do this by going to http://battle.bodoglife.ca/home/.
