GoodBye Canada

Soy Captain played again, and darn was it a little emotional. Even though the band has only been together a few weeks, the end of Soy Captain signals the end of our time with Mitz. For those who don't know who Mitz is, he was the former music director at CKXU, and great friend to us all, and he may have to leave back to Japan. Since he recently graduated from University, his Visa is expired, and he may be deported if he cannot get another one. It's tragic, and added to the tragedy is how awesome the band Soy Captain is.

I won't dwell on it too much, because I don't want to capitalize on the situation. That being said, I also saw a band played called "Scarlet Letters" at Studio 54 in Lethbridge. Composed of some local music students, and my friend Kent, they rocked the party pretty hard. Playing a blend of 80's rock with Emo/Hardcore, the (small) audience was treated with unique covers of Jimmy Eat World's "Bleed America" and Death From Above 1979's "Romantic Rights". It was good.
