Moist in the Maritimes...
As this is being written we are a few minutes away from getting on the tour bus to head east for five shows in the Atlantic Provinces, including a long overdue visit to Prince Edward Island. We aren't visiting as many cities as we would like to, and we appreciate the emails from people wondering why we aren't coming to their towns, but we will be planning a return visit soon, which will hopefully touch all the places we couldn't make it to this time. For details on this show see the tour dates section below.

The rest of our fall tour dates will be announced very soon, and i will post them here as soon as the dates are confirmed, so keep checking this page for information.

Hi, my name's Stephen McQuaid, from PEI.
I do various music articles for the univeristy paper.
I am going to be interviewing Moist on Wednesday afternoon.
Does anyone have a really good and serious question to ask them? If so, send it to smcquaid@upei.ca
Not this list, 'cause I won't be comin' back.
I will only accept questions until Wednesday at around lunchtime (The interview is around 4 or 5).
If I use your question, I may send you an e-mail of the interview.
Anyway, I'm just looking for insighttful questions from the fans, and thought some of you would appreciate it.

Don't forget to vote (or dial 1-800-226-VOTE), the Much Music Video Awards are on Thursday.

David was on Cimetiere des CD with Claude Rajotte (MusiquePlus) on September 17th to discuss his 'Top 5 CDs'.

New Tour Dates and a Correction
We have just announced some tour dates for the fall that will take us on a trip through the maritimes. Unfortunately the previously announced Sydney show at UCCB has been put on hold, due to circumstances beyond our control. These shows are at universities, but all shows are also open to the general public.Check below for details.
Our dates for the rest of the country will be announced very soon.

For people in Kingston and area...
This sunday, September 19th, there will be a benefit concert held at Lake Ontario Park for the memory of Joe Chitahalen. Joe was a very good friend of ours and we think this show is a great way to remember him, as well as a great way to raise money for charity.. There will be lots of great bands and lots of guest musicians, and it promises to be an excellent day.

Moist will be touring in the maritimes next week, but Mark and David will be fly back to Toronto to be presenters at the MMVAS on the 23rd.

Stir of Echoes opened last Friday (i forgot to mention it but i'm sure those of you who cared already knew).

Other useless piece of information Student Price Cards (SPC for Canadians only -sorry) have Moist stickers.. something like that.
