I’m coming to you with a blueberry beer in one hand from a bar in Fredericton, New Brunswick.  That’s because 2 days ago I flew from Vancouver to Montreal to meet up with Miss Quincy & The Showdown for their 2012 Canada summer tourcation.  This is the 3rd year in a row I’ve spent the warmest months of the year on the road with Miss Quincy & co. and this time around we’ll be taking our filthy & beloved home, the Vangina, from coast to freakin’ coast.  There are 50+ shows (including 7 weekends worth of festivals) with more being added every day, so it’s more than likely we’ll be in your neighbourhood sometime during the next 3 months.  You can check out all the whens & wheres below (seriously, check out a show if you can, I’ve never seen an all-girl band kick so much raunchy rock n’ roll ass) after you look at a couple family portraits of the 4 of us:
