June 18, 2009: All Ages Show Cancelled
Unfortunately the All Ages show Junction Theatre, Calgary has been cancelled. According to promoter Barnaby Bennett this was due to their "costs for the show unexpectedly quadrupling (on the Theatre's end) and the lack of a suitable replacement venue".
We will instead play a daytime show at Local 510 put together by BeatRoute Magazine dubbed the "beatroute breakfast".
There is the possibility that due to the early timing this can also an be All Ages show.
