Final Halifax Shows
Friday March 30
Early all ages show @ The Pavillion
Bar show @ The Attic

“A couple of highlights that we all kind of will never forget…first and foremost, was making Favour the Bull in Sweden,” Wells says. “Another highlight, for me, was when we got to play with Slayer and Damageplan. And not so much for obvious reasons, but getting to meet Dimebag in the situation where he was really warm to us and gave us his time.”

Bucket Truck - A Nourishment by Neglect

The clip for “A Nourishment By Neglect” — which tells the story of Halifax civic leaders forcing the city’s predominantly black Africville community members to leave their homes in the mid-’60s so that the A. Murray MacKay Bridge could be built and the Bedford Basin area could be industrialized — has enjoyed a three-week run on MuchMusic and received a positive response from Public Enemy rapper Chuck D, who emailed the punk group a note of encouragement and praise.

For a band from Newfoundland that relocated to Halifax, a music scene not widely known for harder or more aggressive music, the guys should definitely be proud of all their accomplishments - including lasting 11 years. All the best
