The Kiltlifters

Kiltlifters - rallying on New Years Eve!!

2006-12-27T23:38:00.000-08:00

Kiltlifters on New Years Eve!!! That's right, we're pretty stoked...we haven't played a New Years Eve show since the huge CHUM TV bash in downtown Nanaimo a few years ago. Deli trays were rallied then, and Saltspring Porter will be rallied this time.

Kiltlifters New Years Eve Party
Moby's Pub, Ganges, Salt Spring Island
10pm start
$4 cover... cheaper than any pub or bar you might go to!
19+

And... to the Nanaimoites... come on down and check out side projects of different Kiltlifter members: Jimmy Hazzard and Macaque, playing at the Cambie on Friday, Dec 29th!

December shows

2006-12-01T16:12:00.000-08:00

Aight, here's the heads up....

We Kiltlifters have two shows booked in December. The first is a return to the Mt. Washington Alpine Ski Resort... Fat Teddy's Pub, to be precise, Saturday Dec 16. We're playing with a number of other acts as part of the mountain's annual food bank benefit. So, it's only gonna cost ya some food or toys to get in!

Event starts at 9pm...not sure what time our set will be. Anyway, we'll be rallying down the slopes all day during the day, so come find us on the lifts or in a heap in front of a pine tree.

Second show is up in Cumberland, and one of our fave venues: the Waverly (Waverley?), Friday Dec 22. Give yourself an early Xmas present and come out to the show... rumour has it that Dr. Tre is! Start time should be somewhere around 9pm, I'll confirm this as we get closer to the show.

Finally...a quick reminder that 4 of us Kiltlifters are in a side-project band called "Macaque." We're opening up with the Droptones for the legendary Skatalites at Legends Pub in Victoria, this Sunday, Dec 3rd. Doors are at 8, so I expect Macaque to be in your face at around 8:30. Tix are 25 bucks at the door, or 22 in advance at Fascinating Rhythms in Nanaimo or at Lyle's Place, Ditch Records, or the Strathcona Hotel in Victoria. Check this show out!!

we're working on it

2006-11-18T01:08:00.000-08:00

whoa, long time coming

2006-11-07T12:42:00.000-08:00

Got hassled by Jer and Elyse as to the state o' the blog...and rightly so. Apologies for the lack of updates. I'm wearing your pants.

Status right now: working on the new CD. Slowly but surely. Schedules of us band members are pretty conflicting at the moment. But there be many tracks of drums done, some bass, a bit of guitar and horns, so it's happening, and we're pretty stoked.

Gigs? Looks like Dec 16th on Mt. Washington is gonna happen. And we've been invited to play a gig with the most excellent Skatomatics in Vancouver in December, still have to see if that's rallyable.

Also, some of us are taking part in a project band that's going to open up the Skatalites show in Victoria on Sunday, Dec 3rd. It's called Macaque (say it out loud, heh heh.)

More info to come soon, and more often. We love you all. And you, sure.

Labour Day weekend

2006-09-01T20:00:00.000-07:00

Labour Day weekend! Who be up for some beers? It's Longwood time!

So, the Pender Island gig -- not happening. But we've got two shows lined up:

Friday Sept 8: The Gathering Place (790 North Road), Gabriola Island -- all ages show!! W/ NASA Took This Picture, and a guitar solo competition sponsored by Music Maxx. Winner gets a bitchin' axe. No word as to if Kayle is going to take part. 7pm-11pm.

Sat Sept 9: take an early ferry back to Van Isle and get down to Vic for the Great Canadian Beer Fest (Day 2!). Looks like we'll be playing an acoustic set sometime during the event (noon-7pm), then jamming at a big afterparty. I look forward to sharing stories of the carnage.

Pender Bender?

2006-08-21T11:54:00.000-07:00

So we're supposed to be playing on Pender Island next weekend, the Sunday o' Labour Day long weekend. We want to be there. The Resort wants us to be there. But there's a middleman that hasn't confirmed the whole process. So while we'd love to advertise the gig...well...

At least we can advertise that we're playing at the Great Canadian Beer Fest, in Victoria, Saturday September 9...

...and possible good news about an opening slot with Cat Empire? We'll keep ya posted...

Bathtubbin Fest!

2006-07-18T15:44:00.000-07:00

yo MC MC lay me down some phat phunky beats:

So enough of this ska fest talk cause I'm here to say
The kiltlifters be tuning up again and ready to play
Swylana lagoon you know there won't be much room
cause all our ska homies wanna hear the kilts go boom!
So if your feeling fresh and ready to get jiggy with the best
make sure you pop down to Thursday Night at the Fest
9'oclock's the time to be, the band stage by the sea
So all ya crazy hosers come party with thee

Heh heh, Matt thought he was the only one who could drop da rhymes.
Last minute post to announce the Kiltlifters will be playing from 9-10PM at Swylana Lagoon in Nanaimo to kick off this years Bathtub Marine Festival. Its an all ages FREE show of course so come one come all. What post would be complete without paying homage to our main man Tim Horton. It wouldn't. We are playing the Tim Horton's Marine Festival Entertainment Stage in case there was any confusion about 'where' in Swylana Lagoon.

Victoria Ska Festival 2006

2006-07-17T12:49:00.000-07:00

.... was the best party ever. We rallied hard with crash times averaging 4:30AM every night.

A breakdown of the tomfoolery will be coming soon! For now, I want to give a shout-out to all those who came to the final show and danced hard at our set... we received tons of great comments (malfunctioning lights won't slow these hosers down!) and made tons of new friends. Cheers to Dane and the BC Ska Society and all of the bands for another excellent festival.

the important stuff

2006-07-08T11:33:00.000-07:00

What should we wear at Skafest? hmmm...

Vancouver - last show of the Puke 'n Rally tour

2006-06-26T09:57:00.000-07:00

At least 3 puke 'n rallies happened on this tour. Aww yeah!

After a stunning drive through the Rockies and (good ol') BC -- where we shaved about 2 hours off of the expected driving time, and rallied Wendy's for lunch for one last heroic time -- we arrived in Vancouver and freshened up at Bobbi Jo's apartment before getting to the Railway Club... just in time to watch the last few minutes of the Oilers 4-0 win in Game 6. Calls for a beer, so more Big Rock Trad did we drink.

This show was the Elixxxirs CD release party, and they played a great show, sold tons of CDs, and brought tons of friends. The opening band - The Golden Wedding Band - was very cool. Live dixieland! Yeeeeah!

Tons of friends came out for the show: Jer and Elyse (thanks for the graduation card, avec the nakedness), Naomi, Nate, Keesha, Kirsten, Dr. Tre (nice freestyle session), Tre's cravers, many of the Karmacanix including drunk Sean, April and Chelsea (who would have been killed by Bobbi Jo if they didn't show up, I realize), our crazy Czech friend, Irish and Austrailian girls, and Mexican cockblockers.

Thanks to Peter and Ila for hosting the afterparty...keep it rockin' till the break of dawn.

The ferry ride home always leads to much contemplative time. That, and burgers and stale tap water. As these brief posts have shown, perhaps the best part of touring is all the people you meet or get reacquainted with. The scenery is great, the music rallies hard, but the people really drive the memories.

We Kiltlifters will see y'all at Skafest.

Calgary

2006-06-26T09:41:00.000-07:00

You can tell you've been on the road for a while when the cuisine at "Denny's" appears "hearty."

The Underground is a metal bar. Nuff said. Kayle's laundry fit in nicely here.

No Scot at the show, so all of his tunes were sung by others with improvised lyrics, generally revolving around the topics of "cravers" and "beer."

Second consecutive show with tourism/rec representation in the crowd, this time via Nanaimo! Cheers!

Another night of Dave and BJ rallying all night... clubs and cravers are vibrant crucibles to staying downtown. In fact, when dey done, they walked about 4 hours outside of downtown to make the motel for a stunning 1.5 hour sleep.

Back to the van for the long trip through the Rockies, back to BC, homecoming show. Dave was stoked that we passed a town called Balzac:

Almost home!

Red Deer

2006-06-26T09:28:00.000-07:00

Scot, who figured he had lost his wallet 3 days earlier, went to the police, then found it in his backpack.

The Vat is a cool little place; for you Nanaimoites, it's like a large, bright Cambie. Some Tourism/Rec homies from Red Deer College had to leave early before our set, so, uh, I hope you enjoyed the soundcheck. Also a shout-out to the Skalactic crew...hope you enjoyed yer beers, and hope to see you guys at the Vic skafest. Also, more representatives from the Chris King family rallied down!

We are glad Brodie is still alive after cruising up and down 1-way streets for an evening. U-turns avec le grand trailer are not easy.

Another show with Skratch3, these guys rule. The overall vibe for this show was pretty sweet.

This day marked the first day the Meatball was able to do laundry, dear lord. Those of us in the penalty box appreciate the fact our prayers are answered.

Gas under $1 per litre = elixir. Yay Alberta!

Regina

2006-06-26T09:12:00.000-07:00

We begin the brief post-deconstruction of the Puke 'n Rally tour here, in Regina.

Another day of booking a motel for 3 people, ahem, with 5 friends. At least this place had a pool, which is a wonderful tonic for the the kinds of stickiness that only come from sitting still in a van for over six hours.

The SoHo Restaurant/Manhattan Room complex is amazing. A huge open building with easy traffic between the dance club (bottom floor), restaurant (ground level) and live music venue (top floor... with some questionable carpeting.)

Above the bar in the restaurant is an upside-down scale model of Manhattan. Cool.

The show itself was sparsely attended. However, we got to play with Skratch3, an excellent ska/rock band from Toronto that had the unfortunate incident of having their van burn down to the ground a few nights earlier. The remains of their van fit into a tote bag.

Thankfully, their trailer survived, so they rally on. In good humour, too, about the whole thing. Of course, the "the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire" jokes were kept to a tasteful minimum. Right.

Prairie thunderstorms are pretty awe-inspiring for us islanders.

Big ups to Zandria for having the coolest name ever, and Dave Kapp and the ska crew for the heckling!

Also, big ups to the Regina Winners store, and to the dude at McDonalds who sprints from station to station.

rallying in Winnipeg

2006-06-13T19:19:00.000-07:00

Yarrr..... full of fish 'n chips 'n Guinness...a fine day in Winnipeg so far...

Not much time left at this internet cafe, so time for a few highlights:

1. Sudbury. Why is Sudbury always, always, always so frickin' cool? The people, the venue, the food... etc etc etc. Big ups to the Townehouse and everyone that rallied with us.

2. Relaxing at Garnet's. Best steaks 'n burgers.

3. All the family and friends we've met up with over the last few days!

4. The folks that have let us sleep on their floor(s), including Rebecca and Yvonne in Toronto and Niki in Ottawa. With more to come, hahaha...

5. Dave flying down the Thunder Bay hills in a shopping cart at 2:30 AM

6. Enlightening the Elliot Lake locals on the proper way to sing "Mony Mony"

7. "Applesauce, bitch!"

8. Everyone arguing over whether we stopped at a Tim Hortons in Thunder Bay or elsewhere for breakfast or for lunch... for HOURS

9. Pukin' 'n Rallyin'!

More updates soon!

Tour update #1

2006-06-06T17:46:00.000-07:00

Location: Nanaimo

No, the band isn't in Nanaimo -- I am, after flying back for my grad. An awesome time, and I'm glad I came back to be part of the ceremony. For that, I give the band huge thanks for driving straight from Edmonton to Elliot Lake...36 hours of driving. Apparently, there has been no strangulations or stabbings involved. Phew! Hopefully BBQ Man is rallying up the burgers and Blue for 'em right now...

So five of us left on the last Duke Point ferry, Thursday night. We spent most of the ferry sitting and talking in the Suburban, which was a little odd; I figured they didn't realize how much more of this exact activity we'd be doing over the next 2 weeks.

The ceremonial first beer, marking the start of a Kiltlifters tour, was cracked. It was a Sleemans Honey Brown, and They were Happy.

Picked up the Elixxxirs in White Rock at a little before 1AM. Bobbi Jo is the only one of us with a suitcase, heh heh, it's backpacks for everyone else. Methinks she can get away with it, though; Corrinne from the Skatomatics/Furios gave her some tips on what to pack for touring, especially with guys (who knew a hair dryer would be so essential?)

Off we went. I drove from Chilliwack, and did most of the Coquihalla. Blue sky started appearing a little after 3:30AM; a beautiful sight through the mountains. Brodie and I rallied the Suburban through the early morning as everyone slept. For such a loud band, the snoring was wonderfully quiet. It always amazes me the angles at which some people can sleep.

Breakfast at Humpty's in the Rockies. Yay for orange juice and napkins. This particular one had a space for bands to put up their stickers! The Elixxxirs represent there now, and the Kiltlifters learned not to pack their merch so far back in the trailer, under trombones and tom toms.

The Rockies were cool, as always. We did see a massive elk -- probably 12 feet tall, I tell ya -- along with some tourists who thought it was a good idea to walk up to it for a closer look. No maulings were witnessed as we cruised by.

Got to Calgary a little after 3pm, and headed to the airport to pick up the Swedish Meatball. He had arrived at 1pm, and spent most of the afternoon drinking at Moxies and inviting waitresses to our show there on the 16th.

Calgary rush hour traffic sucks. Avoid the Trans-Canada at all costs. Kayle was having a blast pointing out all of the liquor and porn stores, and was downcast at the lack of gun stores.

Now, a full Suburban; 6 'lifters, 2 'lixxxirs. Let the durrrrrrs commence.

No one is arguing over the stereo as much as I had predicted. This is because everyone has MP3, DVD, and CD players. They have been the cause of our battery dying twice. Time to get some Duracells, boys. Food mess has been kept to a minimum, and I managed to sweet out all of my spilled wheat puffs off the floor before anyone noticed. Once again, the back seat has been dubbed "The Penalty Box."

Gig in Lethbridge, at the Tounge N Groove. Lethbridge is even windier than we thought it would be. Dust wails through the air outside, and people smoke at the bar on the inside. We all are dehydrated, which makes things worse. Scot pops two allergy pills and can't figure out why he clogs right up when he has a beer; I point out that his pills are 24hr-lasting. Brodie's mini-football is getting a good workout, but is a challenge to throw around the gusty streets.

The gig goes pretty well. The crowd is small but enthusiastic. The TNG is kinda like the Cambie back in Nanaimo, but thinner. Someone bought the band 2 extra rounds of Sleemans Honey Brown...seems to be the official beer so far. My aunt Debbie shows up, and we have a great chat outside the venue... this should be the first of many Kiltlifter/Elixxxir relative appearances.

Later on, Dave nearly falls off the roof.

In the morning, a few bananas and peanut butter sandwiches later, we're off to Edmonton. Quick and easy drive, but we're even more dehydrated.

Edmonton is beautiful today; sunny, 27 degrees, nice breeze, and very, very clean. We soon realize that it is clean because...there's nobody out on the streets...anywhere! Everyone is on Whyte Avenue, go Oilers go. (Poor Roloson.)

We are treated to a wonderful meal by Chris's (Elixxxirs) family; BBQed burgers and chicken, oriental salad, chips, veggies and dip, beer (Dave, Kayle and I snaked the last Kilkennys, sorry Brodie.)

For the most part, the Edmonton gig sucked.
1-we tried for days to find out when soundcheck was; got no response, so ended up showing up 2 hours late for it. Arguing ensues for a while before cooler heads prevail. (Mike, the sound guy at the Starlite Room, is a pretty cool guy.)
2-it's a big massive room with a killer system... but it's nowhere near Whyte Avenue. Because we were away from the hub, there's wasn't much of a crowd expected...and thus, it came true.

However, tons of Chris's relatives showed up gave awesome support. Good prairie folk, they are!

After the gig, Scot had to be rushed to the airport to catch a 12:30 AM flight to Sault Ste. Marie to meet up with family. Dave and BJ got a little lost on the way -- the airport is wayyy out of the city core -- but rumour has it that Scot made it, heh heh. They got back, we packed up, and we're ready to leave before 1 AM.

So...off to a pub!

Chris recommended one on Jasper Ave., and we went in and had a good time. Good amount of cravers; one grabbed Brodie in the goolies. I did a solo Sheepwash dance (read: goofy) and ran around the dancefloor. I told some old guy that Brodie got his anime-style haircut by sticking his finger in a socket, and the old guy got in my face and told me that was a horrible thing to say. Oops.

After most of us headed back, Dave and BJ walked down to an after-party that turned out to be an all-night rave, with tons of stoned people that couldn't even talk straight. Crazy dancing, apparently. With no more beer in sight, they went to Chris's friend's house and got 1 hour of sleep before meeting us for breakfast.... bacon, waffles with fruit and whipped cream, yogurt, juice, etc. etc.... once again, huge big ups to the King family!!!

So, not sure how the rest of the guys are doing; I'm back home after an excellent flight (WestJet: well recommended) and a good afternoon spent in Vancouver with Lauren. (Sandeep, sorry we didn't make the pub -- but I nearly passed out and fell on the bus floor. Erf.)

The variety of footwear in big cities is amazing, especially Vancouver.

The rest of them are in Elliot Lake, I'm in Nanaimo, tomorrow we meet up in Toronto and re-rally the tour (and finally get more stories to tell.) I'm hoping to get to the Hockey Hall of Fame, wish me luck. I'm really optimistic about the rest of this week..Toronto, Ottawa, Sudbury. Bring it on!

'eeeeeeeeeeere we go!

2006-06-01T20:46:00.000-07:00

Queens show

2006-05-04T11:41:00.000-07:00

First off, big ups to Vilot for playing with us at the Queens. These guys bring the blues/rock something fierce, and anyone that can get that cool of a guitar tone out of an orange amp is cool in my books. They play a lot around Nanaimo, go check 'em out.

Secondly, thanks to all the hosers who came down and made another hometown show a success. We saw tons of old friends, made new ones, and entertained the Good Crew and milfs everywhere. Thanks to Eliza for sittin' in and helping us on a Katchafire song!

2006-05-04T11:33:00.000-07:00

Awesome Salt Spring crew: check.
Dancers who appreciate the double-horns and the ska: check.
Opening band that covered Radiohead and the Cure: check.

Fries and onion rings for breakfast: check.

Salt Spring Island... so hot right now.

concluding april

2006-04-27T01:05:00.000-07:00

Hey y'all... sorry for the lack of updates, but we 'lifters have been pretty sleepy this month. Helped me make some serious progress on the BA degree, but you aren't here to hear of such things -- you want tunes. So, here's the deal:

Friday April 28 - Salt Spring Island, Mahon Hall, all ages! 8pm
Saturday April 29 - The Queens, Nanaimo, w/ Violet, 10 pm

Only other news: the studio is getting much, much closer to completion, and the beer fridge is in a comfortable spot. If only Kayle would stop replacing our fancy beers with Kokanee...

Vancouver Blitz!

2006-03-19T23:43:00.000-08:00

Her ye, her ye, the Sweater Vest in the house,

Lots to talk about and would like to first begin by sending good karma to former Kiltlifter Mr. Jeremy Hale for playing both Vancouver shows with us. A wicked guitar player indeed.

The Kiltlifters played Malaspina Pub for their annual "Kiss my ass, I'm Irish" Party. Lots of good people, lots of good green beer, and a great time had by all. Thanks to everyone who came out and partied hard.

The next day we all loaded up the truck with plenty o time to spare and headed for the ferry's....and got there just in time to see it sail away (cue styx song). The panic began to sweep across our faces as we thought we were going to be royally screwed for the big show at the University of British Columbia. With some stellar driving through the madness that is Vancouver by scot we pulled up to the gig with enough time to load and soundcheck in a hurry. Hundreds and hundreds of people at this show, and thanks to all the UBC crew for coming out on the day of the Irish. There's many different things that occured after the show, including a mini keg party on a Dorm Floor. Scot wandered aimlessly around campus, Matt chilled with his buddy at the flat, and the Meatball and I took the 31 foot beast out on the road hittin up wreck beach looking for a bonfire party (I will add that I had not consumed any alcohol in the previous 4 hours so was in fine form behind the wheel).

Saturday on to Malones with Vancouvers Elixxxers for the hangover party! Another great show- good food, good people, and good energy. Elixxxers sounded great, kiltlifters rocked it hard, including Matt and Dave in a soloing battle (which I awarded a tie). Headed up to an after hours bar for a nightcap and some mingling, and to bed to catch the ferry early the next morning (which we made!).

Overall a pretty solid weekend...

St. Guinness Day weekend

2006-03-13T21:10:00.000-08:00

Honestly; if there was one holiday that we Kiltlifters could surely revel in, it must be the culturally-appropriated St. Patrick's Day, yes?

(My ancestors came to Canada from Ireland, so I maintain a tenuous link to that country, which includes cheering for their soccer team whenever I can. And, Guinness tastes good.)

With all that in mind, it's time to play some shows. Nanaimo and Vancouver! Overseas trips always tend to be gong shows. I expect to see Dr. Tre in attendance, and we shall lay down some sick lyrics!

Thursday March 16
3rd Annual Pre-St. Patrick's Day Party
Velvet Underground Pub, Malaspina University-College, Nanaimo
w/ DJ Bunny Dub (who spins incredible dub, reggae, and dancehall)
9 PM start - $5 cover

Friday March 17
UBC Ski and Board Club St. Patrick's Day Beer Garden
UBC - SUB Partyroom
8pm

Saturday March 18
Post-hangover Party!
Malone's Bar and Grill, downtown Vancouver
w/ The Elixxxirs! Yay!

See y'all at the shows!

"Beatles of Ska"

2006-02-28T12:56:00.000-08:00

So the Kiltlifters were lucky enough to play with 3 great bands in Victoria over the weekend. Major Props to Satori, Westbound Train, and the Toasters. And much love to Dane Roberts for the slot to open. Amazing, Amazing bands.

Also cheers to Terri Upton for slapping the axe and filling in with us on the low end....and welcome back to Barry Campbell who has resumed his shredding on the guitar!

So this Friday Night in the spirit of a great cause the Kiltlifters will be taking to the stage at John Barsby Secondary School in a Drug Awareness Event. All ages event so those of you in the John Barsby Community come out and dance yo!
