Whoa! Another year with The Remedials (a band that shouldn't have started in the first place) and what a rad time it was for those dumb punks! After a rough start to the year and then getting progressively worst to the end…

Played The Cobalt! Played Logan's Pub in Victoria! Played Bowen Island! Played an Illegal After-Hours Party! Played Denderah's House Party! Entire "A New Rock Reality" Episode devoted to The Remedials! 10th Remedial Report filmed! Gabe finishes paying off his SG (Gabe plays an SG Special cuz Gabe's special), Wayne gets a longer cord (no longer tied down by a mere 3 feet watch out…), Lionel get a brand new kit (Pearl Export – EX, Jet Black) and finally a Remedial Engagement (The Remedials will get to play a wedding and more importantly Remedial Stag!)

The Remedials in 2007…
What do The Remedials have planned for next year? Record sophomore album "Drop Outta School", Release The Remedials DVD/CD Box Set (A New Rock Reality Episode 20 DVD & Songs For The A.D.D. Generation CD with Remedial Comic Book!), Release "Remediology" Book "The Early Years" (Stories, Blogs and Interviews with The Remedials with PLENTY of pictures!), "Have fun, play more shows and record" has always been the game plan, that was the plan last year and the year before so why change now?
