Wow, what a year for a band whose own members thought had no future! Over that last year The Remedials have played The Piccadilly Pub (seen Moral Crux), The Mesa Luna (seen No Means No) and The Brickyard (R.I.P. seen DOA and Shonen Knife play) as well as other venues and house parties. The Remedials have been lucky enough to play these venues where we have seen our punk idols play and are totally grateful for the opportunity thanks to Dead Radio, Adam from black.skyline and Sean from SPM Music. Not content with just playing shows The Remedials recorded their first CD with Jesse Gander at The Hive. The feedback we have received on the recording have been amazing and for that we have to give props to Jesse! The Remedials continue to try and update our various sites all over the webernet, see if youre able to find them all! Weve even gone all corporate whore by selling shirts; look forward to stickers, temporary tattoos and autographed drumsticks. We hung out with a lot of rad bands (like Denderah who let us play their house party and another one possibly soon, we hung out with them at Shindig to see Fun 100 and RockN, The Weedies at BCIT and Jello Biafra and The Melvins at the C.C.C.) since joining The Vancouver Band Alliance. Even if we didnt get to play any shows the community thats started is outta sight and too punk rock to miss out on! Wed like to thank Scott Holman for letting us join the club and having more faith in us then ourselves. We wanna thank all the bands in the Alliance that have supported us and even stuck around for our now infamous New Years Eve show. More surprising is the fact that The Remedials have been on TV in the reality show A New Rock Reality which airs on Novus Channel 34; its creepy when people recognize you from seeing ya on TV. Not bad for a band that almost broke up three times in the last year!
So what up for 2006? Well, do we have a lot planned for everyone that has supported us last year (came to our shows, bought our merch and messaged us about our songs) but well have more about that soon enough! The Remedials will continue to write more songs and play more shows (unfortunately, the Vancouver scene has lost a couple venues recently The Brickyard and The Candy Bar luckily we played them both well kinda) either at clubs or house parties. The Vancouver scene will be going thru a lot of changes in the next year and the community of bands in the Alliance have committed to reviving the scene and playing shows anywhere they can, so theres a light at the end of that tunnel! So there ya have it The Remedials future is getting brighter everyday weve finally passed kindergarten and ready to move on to elementary school. Thanks to all the blog readers too with over 300?! views it seems like someones reading this crap, well be sure to keep ya updated with all things remedial!
