Squid Lid: Alive!

Hello there my loving Tentacles….

This summer has been a busy one. We’ve been playing live quite a bit since returning home from Europe in June and these Canadian shows have been fun.

First thing we did when we landed on Canadian soil was hop in the Squiddy mobile (it’s a black Dodge Caravan actually…am i making you horny?) and drive to Montreal to play Les Katacombes along with DJ Davide and The Scroll.

The audience was a little lighter than we like it, but their enthusiasm made up for their numbers. When i look out and see a half full room it warms my reptilian heart to at least see those people dancing their ASSSES off. Thank you Montreal for making our visit a titty shaker.

Here’s what we looked like 10 seconds after our set ended….the costuming is so different in natural lighting…weird.

Special thanks to De Courval Art and Photo for the gorgeous pics.

The following week-end we played to packed room of Phreaks and Friends at The Opera House here in Toronto as the headlining act for Sub Space’s Pride themed party. This crowd didn’t dance as much as we like (though we can admit that we’re pretty demanding that way) but they still made us feel welcome and we had an ink oozing blast playing our set. Special thanks to Five to Midnight productions for their great photos. http://www.fivetomidnight.ca

Next came The Toucan in Kingston, Ontario along with local punk rockin’ boys Owl Farm.

This show was packed to the rafters and the crowd was cuttin’ up rugs like cray-cray. Wow K-Town, you really make a Squid feel loved!

The Owl Farm set was killer as usual too. These guys are the real deal, I’m telling you. If the spirit of Punk Rock is within you, you will love seeing these boys rock a show, I promise. Great covers too. We particularly loved their rendition of Mudhoney’s “Touch Me I’m Sick”…. bad ass.

This last weekend we played Toronto again. This time as the head liners of the inaugeral Mermaid Ball at club Nocturne on Queen Street West alongside DJ Wychdoktor from Ottawa.

This show was especially fun because when I looked out into the audience I saw hot chick after hot chick wearing shell bikinis, blue sequins and glitter, glitter, GLITTER! It was great. We are super stoked that this event will be an annual one. Can’t wait for next year! Pics from that shin dig to come….

If you missed us during these last string of dates don’t worry!! We have sets coming up. We will be back to The Toucan in Kingston, Ontario on Saturday, August 22nd and we’re honoured to be a part of the Aftermath Festival here in Toronto as well! We’ll be playing The Phoenix as a part of that event Saturday, August 29th.

There are some potential gigs brewing in NYC and Ottawa but we’re still trying to get them officially nailed down, so keep your fins crossed for us.

In other news, our latest music video for “Shark Club”, from our most recent album “Tackle Box”, is finally REAAAAAADY.

We are going to officially release it via our website, YouTube channel and social media tomorrow morning my friends so BUCKLE UP, it’s gonna titillate, tingle and tease your fragile psyches…..we promise.

Until then my loves….
