We've got some miles ahead of us this weekend, making our way down to Sudbury and Thunder Bay to play for some strangers and friends. Thanks to the guys from Shared Arms for the van.
Saturday Night (March 20) with Cities Collapse, Bunnies in Berlin and Killing Queens
Myths and Mirrors 500 Frood Road Sudbury, Ontario
$5 / Starts at 7 / No alcohol
Sunday Night (March 21) with Alexisonfire and some rumored supergroup.
The Outpost 955 Oliver Rd. Thunder Bay, Ontario

We'll have some Ep's for sale as well as a small run of shirts and posters.
Also, if you haven't heard the new Wayfarer record, go hear the new Wayfarer record.
A track we've been siting on for a few months, we wrote before Debris. It doesn't have a destination. It might seem like a step backwards but I still enjoy it, it wont be up that long...
An excerpt from a conversation I had with Steve Sloane (Hinindar, The Music Box, Wayfarer) about ten minutes ago regarding employment - via computer.

Bishop 12:27am

Punknews.org listed Goodbye Debris on their Top 20 EPs/Singles of 2009. Heres what they had to say:
Kitchener, Ontario's Mockingbird Wish Me Luck describes their songs here as "the heart of basement songs strung together through a lot of bad times" and I'm not sure I could do them more justice. The sounds contained here are reminiscent of small towns and cold nights, with melancholic post-hardcore arrangements with just-bright accents of hope and vocals the most gravelly you've heard since Frankie Stubbs stepped on the scene.
Incredibly flattered to be on a list that included John K. Samson, Small Brown Bike and the Lawrence Arms.
Also, props to our friends in Vicious Cycle, whose Pale Blue Dot record made the Top 20 list of Full-lengths. Buy it HERE
Finally, thanks to all our friends who came to see the show at the Wax on Boxing Day. You guys made the show worth playing.
