About 9 pm tonight at Chandler Park in Smithers, we’ll take the stage at the “Relay for Life” fund raiser for the Canadian Cancer Society.  Hope to see you there!

We were the closing act for the Relay for Life concert event in Smithers last year. They’ve asked us to do that again this year on Saturday, June 7. When we find out approximately what time that will be, I’ll post it.

We just found out this weekend that the Relay for Life musical event in Smithers is happening this year on June 7.  Last year, we were told that that would be the last year for the event and we’re pleased to learn that it ain’t so.

We just got confirmed to play a party at the Bear Claw Lodge next week Thursday. I’ve never been out there but I hear it’s really nice. Looking forward to it! Pretty short notice but we can make it work.

The Divas & Friends Variety Show is a fundraiser for the Smithers Art Gallery and this year it takes place on Saturday, March 29 starting at 7:30 pm in the Della Herman Theatre in Smithers, BC.  The event features sixteen groups or solo performers showcasing a variety of forms of music and dance.

The closing act is – you guessed it – us: Axes of Ego.  It’s good to see rock & roll being represented and we’re proud to do it.  We’re doing six songs, three covers and three originals.  So, come out, support the arts, and have a good time.

Really looking forward to this weekend at KVMF.  Friday, July 26, 11:30 pm, we will ROCK the Hall Stage at the Kispiox Valley Music Festival!  It’s always fun to be the last act of the night.

We’re playing at 8 pm on Friday, July 5th, at the Smithers Midsummer Music Festival on Stage 3. We’re doing a rockin’ set like we always do but with a difference: this time, we’re playing all original songs.

What a pain in the ass, though, that they’re only giving us half an hour playing time. This makes me question whether or not we should even bother sending in an application next year.

We’re scheduled to play at the Main Street Festival in Smithers on Saturday, June 15 at 1:30 pm.  Hope to see you there!

Here’s what we’ve got scheduled so far for the next few months:

• Rock the North Benefit Jam at ‘Ksan on the third weekend of May.

• Relay for Life cancer benefit in Smithers on June 8.

• Smithers Street Fair on June 15.

• Smithers Midsummer Music Festival the first weekend of July.

• Kispiox Valley Music Festival the last weekend of July.

• A dance for Smithers Homecoming Week on August 4 at the fair grounds in Smithers.

• Tentatively scheduled: a private event for August 16 in Burns Lake.

Note: Steve won’t be around for Kispiox or for August 4 so Karl Wyssen will be filling in on bass.  Also, Heather may or may not be around for those gigs but we’ll figure out something if she’s not.
