Better laters than nevers…
No mas. Tour was filthy. 1st solo tour in a couple of years and it seemed as if I had to make up 4 lost time. Jumped in the rental with another veteran (DJ Abel), a rookie (City Real) and pursued my continual vendetta against the crooked yellow line that led us first to the Atha-B in Jasper. I’ve been in love with this town and it’s patrons since I first started playing there 5 years ago, so they forced me to perform a spoken word piece (hate) that I hadn’t played in 2.5 years but I was happy the old standby got dusted off. Party continued to Rob’s crib after and took a turn when he invited a 60 pounder of Crown Royal that knocked DJ Abel to the couch at 5 am… Veteran drinking hot one hun-dread and making rookie mistakes (who pukes first night of tour)? Macy’s.
Off to Edmonton AKA E-Ville to stay at City Real’s girlfriends spot ‘the compound’ and play at the Temple. Scale Breakers murdered things, Triple Crown with my man Chubb rocked shit, City Real held things down but my homegirl Nova’s assless jeans stole the mother fucker that night!! Props to the homey Jordan Coles for comin through and reppin.
Calgary up next where the Flames mashed up the Sens to set the tone for us. Breakers around again to steal shine. Dragon Fli Empire opened and held it down as always. My show was mad fun and big up to Ms. Ange, Ms. Gunderson, and my man Coop 4 coming through again.
Lethbridge + Blarney Stone + MC Battle + Kyprios show + Crystal Skull vodka – sobriety = Huge Fucking Night!! Big ups to Chris, Dave, Booda and L-Rev for looking out, always above and beyond common courtesy and professionalism making the Bridge one of my favorite stops. Props to Nickname for winning the MC battle and Im pretty sure that was the 1st night I lost my DJ battle to DJ Abel ( Mr. Firm and Stable). The rookie City Real did all of us fans of pure comedy a solid by sleeping in the bathroom warmly nestled in the warm embrace of the toilet. Trust me, Ive paid some rent to that spot as well youngblood!
Quality hangover brought us to the Cannore Hotel where Mike Little rejuvinated our spirits with some pubes of the dog. Couple more drinks and Kyp Bukowski is back on the straight and narrow. Long time SSU homey Christine Hunter came through and repped hard for the squad along with my dudes Matt and Jordan Coles. This was the best show of the tour and I thank y’all so much for coming through and supporting The Midnight Sun. Much fun.
Alright dudes, I’m on the road with SSU now in the USA and will have something new for u next week. All love.
You know I’m always down when you come to town. That was an unintentional rhyme there. Hope the tour with the Union went well, can’t wait til you guys hit up Calgary again!
I might be in Van end of May for a Broken Bells show.
Hey Kyp for the record that was a Texas 3L of Crown and the show was off the hook as usual. Just wish Jasper appreciated more..
