New band
SUBSIST played our first show earlier this month with DESPISE YOU / OSK / AHNA / OBACHA / SKUFF at the Russian Hall in Vancouver.
Our second show is in 6 days and is a fundraiser for a new punk venue in Vancouver.
Apparently forever playing shows in which we don't appear on the poster.
More shows:
March 26 w/ CETASCEAN (Winnipeg)
April 27 w/ OPIATE (Toronto)
July 5 w/ VILE INTENT (Montreal), AHNA, and a bunch of circus grind
There will be a Victoria show sometime this spring.
Recording a tape in less than two weeks. Nine songs about searching for meaning in an existence that appears forever meaningless.
New space
The CETASCEAN show is being held at a new punk space/venue in Vancouver that myself and a few others have been working on establishing for the past few months. An entirely different space than the fundraiser we're playing on the 23rd. We move in March 1st, first show is March 4th. There will most likely be a "grand opening" party all day on the 3rd.
The goal is to provide a punk community space for shows, film screenings, workshops and the like, as well as a record shop/punk store. Location and other relevant details will be posted shortly.
