After 9 years, 4 full lengths, 4 7″s, 1 10″, 3 EPs, 1 compilation album, 8 Canadian tours, 1 European tour, a couple rounds of SXSW, and NO stupid videos, the Canadian/USA cross-border Rock and Roll of C’mon will cease to exist after Saturday Oct 22 2011. Why are we breaking up, you ask??
- Couldn’t stand the thought of eating or drinking Tim Horton’s ever again.
- Never want to play another all ages show.
- The only drumstick company Dean uses went out of business.
- Bummed there isn’t a ‘Best Van’ category at The Junos.
We will be playing our final 2 weeks of shows in Ontario and Quebec to say goodbye to the best fans a band could ever have. The first 40 paying customers at each show (with one little exception) will receive a free copy of the new C’mon 7″. This double A-side features a new recording of one of the first songs C’mon ever wrote yet was never released, and the very last song we ever wrote. The 7″ is a co-release by Yeah Right! Records (thanks Tony, as always) and our fake label, Blown Speaker. On Monday Oct 17 we will be doing a live recording at Chemical Sound in Toronto and will be having a contest for possible attendees in the next couple of weeks at www.thisiscmon.com.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped to keep C’mon up and running during our tenure.
We fucking love you.
