Default background on the band

We can read the website and get press releases on City and Colour, but can people really talk about Green and his mates from a more personal level. Anyone toured with them, started another garage band with them? Comments?

You're so lucky to live in Toronto Mitch, I have to attempt to travel the country to see him. I think he's only playing 2 UK dates this year (although they are both with Alexis) so at least I'll be able to afford to see both

The UK's great, especially if you come in either Winter or Summer, two totally polar opposites in weather and scenery, and our music scenes not too bad. Yeah, I just checked and AoF are actually playing 7 dates in the UK this November in support of Crisis, I also believe that Comeback Kid are supporting them so thats good news all round. Yeah I live in Dudley, which is near Birmingham at the moment, until September when I move down to Plymouth Uni on the South Coast. I'll probably end up going to the Birmingham and Cardiff gigs so they should be pretty good. I've never been to Canada, got a friend who has a lot of family over there and I may try to tag along with him if he goes to visit.

That's cool man. Ya we have the four seasons over here. Very cold in winter, and very hot in summer. If you ever get a chance to go to B.C go man, I honestly want to go so bad and I heard its the most beautiful province in Canada! Where does your bud live in Canada?

Last summer I went backpacking out west in canada. So I did Edmonton, Jasper, Banff, Lake Louise, Vancouver, Victoria, Whistler, Kelowna, Calgary and Winnipeg. To tell you the truth Vancouver's suburbs are nice but the city itself and area aren't that great. It's pretty dirty with A LOT of homeless and sketchy places. But the party scene is pretty good. For me all of Alberta so Jasper, banff, edmonton and Lake Louise are some of the most gorgeous places I've ever scene. And I loved Victoria as well.

But overall, I think Ontario/ Quebec have the most beautiful landscapes; the Canadian shield. but thats just my opinion. I still have to see out East which I heard is breath taking.
