So…we are doing a live recording at Chemical Sound in Toronto on Monday Oct 17th. We have 30 passes available for folks who want to go. To get in just send us an email to cmon@thisiscmon.com and in 30 words or less tell us why you would like to be there and we will choose our favs. Haiku and other forms of wordplay are encouraged. This will be a fairly early event (8pm lift off). Thanks, C’mon
While we are glad the Junos finally added a “Hard Rock/Metal” category (hereby called the “Voivod”), they still missed the chance to add “Best Van” at the same time. We hope they will come around and add the category that the midnight alleys and gutters will know as “The Freedom”.
C’mon would like to thank both R.E.M. and Mike Modano for their recent attempts to upstage the news of OUR upcoming retirement with the announcement of theirs. Nice try boys. It must be hard to walk in the shadow.
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??
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.
