From singer-guitarist Travis Ellis: “It was a wild weekend for sure. Arrived in Corner Brook on Wednesday. Played four shows in total. Got to see a lot of friends and attended many parties. In our hotel we had good friends Smothered in Hugs and In-Flight Safety so the partying didn’t really end. Attended the awards show last night…”—[ed note: Mardeen was nominated for Alternative Recording of the Year]—”We didn’t win but it was still a great time. The weekend was capped off by the craziest night of my life. A party with Smothered and Mercy, the Sexton resulted in an epic wrestling battle which included flying elbows and the spraying of fire extinguishers. I don’t think I’ll ever be the same.”

Def. worth noting here that I think Telephones was THE hit last year. Still love that tune.
