Even though it's Thanksgiving weekend here in the Hammer, we're rocking This Ain't Hollywood in support of ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS. On Sunday, October 7th, we shall set aside our turkeys and hams for another day, so that you may have a place to go and ROCK OUT after you've napped off your tryptophan buzz. ...C'mon....you know you're not working Monday.

Let's see some local support for our American friends on their only Canadian date this tour!

 

 

 

We had a fun night out supporting CHANGE OF HEART at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto tonight.  Thank you to Ian Blurton for inviting us up to share the stage and get things rolling. 

Thanks, especially, to everyone who was there and enjoyed the show.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi, all. It has been kind of a lazy summer for us. Hope it was a good one for you.

The band got together a couple of times to prepare for a few upcoming gigs.

But before we get into that, we'd like to say: *WELCOME BACK, STEVE!*

We are playing SATURDAY SEPT 15th at SUPERCRAWL in Hamilton. We're on the Colbourne stage at 2:45pm. Going to be a lot of very cool entertainment on that stage all day, not to mention all the other stages and performance areas. For a full schedule of events, and a handy map of the festival area, check out the Supercrawl website or download the app for Apple or Android.

Next, we'll be playing with CHANGE OF HEART on FRIDAY OCT 5th, at the HORSESHOE in TORONTO.

Later that weekend, on OCTOBER 7th, we'll be at THIS AIN'T HOLLYWOOD in Hamilton with ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS.

In other news, we've put off the release of our EP so that we could return to the studio and record another few tracks... That's right: we've decided to release another FULL-LENGTH album. We'll be working on this some more during September/October.

As usual, stay tuned ;)

BIG NEWS:

 

...our show at This Ain't Hollywood last Friday, March 2nd, was officially Steve Foster's last show with the band, at least for a while. You have likely already heard this news by now, but consider its mention here as official Saucer news. Steve's departure leaves a huge hole in the Saucer, no kidding.

 

Here are a couple of links (most of you have likely already read) in reference:

the Perlich Post: ...include's Steve's official press release.

G-Mole: ...a current update from Bruce Mowat, close associate of the band.

BIG GIG Friday March 2nd, at This Ain't Hollywood with esteemed Toronto Wavelength friends Hybrid Moments, Karaoke, and Ghostlight. We make big party. You come.
