I'm from Kingston, ON, Canada. I'm proud of these guys. My daughter went to see them just last Saturday nite, Feb 23, at our brand new K-Rock Centre, and it cost her $85.00. You guys got to see them for $25.00. How do you rate? Not only do they write songs about Hockey, they write songs about Canada. They wrote a song about a prison break in Kingston's Millhaven maximum security, and a song about 'Bobcaygeon', a 'blink & you might miss it' village near Peterborough, ON. However, their best song ever, with a most memorable beginning guitar riff, is "New Orleans Is Sinking". These guys are awesome. Next to The Guess Who, they are Canada's National Band. Beauty, eh?
