new bass player

That's right, the search for our new bass player is over -- welcome Nolan Hunter Rounding, the newest member of the band, born today at 3AM! He already looks older than Doogie and is telling cleaner jokes than the Meatball!

Congrats to the Rounding family!

More 'lifter tunes on the web - check out our myspace and purevolume sites. The myspace.com tunes are downloadable! Be sure to leave us a comment!

Our new rehearsal and office space is almost ready to go! Nothing like taking over a warehouse with old carpets, posters and a beer fridge...

haha poor Courtenay

yikes...there was some severe Dark Side laid on the toilet in the women's washroom in the Chevron. Wha' happened?

Kiltlifter consensus is that the new Star Wars is pretty good, but the movie would have been
over a lot faster if the sabre battles had involved a few quick jabs to the nose, rather than full-on
roundhouse swings every time.

Plus, like "Shaft" would actually get beat down from the Emperor!

Review: new Planet Smashers CD, "Unstoppable." It's pretty good. Not as good as "Mighty," but still with some really solid tracks -- hey, it's the Smashers, if you are a Canadian ska fan, you know you'll buy it. Fave tracks include Police the Nation, Blank Stare, Cool Your Jets, and Bad Mood.

Argh...our website is still down...hopefully it shall be revived shortly!

May daze!

Holy krap, what an odd month for the band. Half of us are moving, preparing to move, preparing to have children, or just plain acting like children (see: Halo 2 beer 'n pizza fest.)

Big thanks to everyone who came out to the Dave Roberts fundraiser in Campbell River, and to the bear we sideswiped, hope your ass hair grows back before Meatball and Doogie grow their first ones. On their chins.

Sad to say that we aren't playing the Victoria Ska Fest this year :( But, it's all good: we'll be there as fans and consumers of the beer! It'll be hard to top last year but Dane always brings in the top-flight talent. And, he laughs well. If his laugh was a food, it'd be beef stew.

In terms of 'lifters shows, we're getting our summer bookings worked out right now... watch for the usual Canada Day madness in Swy-a-lana Lagoon (Nanaimo!) as well as a weekend at the lovely Silva Bay Resort on Gabriola Island, July 29th (Meatball's birthday!! the big 1-7) and 30th.

On a last note: the server that hosts our website crashed worse than Craig attempting a sudden stop on skates! So, our site has been down for a bit... hopefully it should be back up in the next few days.

More gig news and some exciting news regarding some surf tunes in the next few days...

PS. I meleed Stone Broker and Doogie hhahahahahahahhahaah
