A big thank you to all the musicians who wrote to us while we were trying to get some local opening support for this Ontario run. We wanted to reach out to bands that aren’t necessarily the “promoter’s favourites” or what the "agent is pushing" but hopefully to meet and play with kids that are in bands we haven’t heard of and who also happened to dig our music. I’ve often said that aoh fans are either introverts! bath tub people! or stoners!! and judging from alot of the responses, I’m not wrong!
When we were advancing these shows, we realized that we needed to have a smaller, solo or duo type situation as the support act- (which we realized after we started the search – sorry!) we have a bunch of new arrangements for the songs and are working on incorporating cajon and more acoustic stuff & fooling around with some sampler action etc, so we wanted the act prior to our performance to reflect that vibe every night. Especially given the size of some of the stages (grad club, Virginia!!!). anyway....a deep heartfelt thank you again... some of the bands who had 5 and 6 members were freaking good and experimental and confusing and wicked and catchy and dreamy and exactly what i would wanna hear if i was going to an apostle show but we don’ t have the means right now to be able to do that show just yet. We are super excited about the artists that will be playing and we hope you come early enough to hear them play too- if you submitted and you’re coming out, please come and say hello. And if not, we do hope our paths cross at some point in the future.
