Alright, so I said there wouldn’t be news for at least a few days, but I wanted to throw this up on the site quick:
Knife Party, a Moncton band we profiled here in late 2008, has been dormant for some time due to band members’ various obligations.
Tonight, they’ll get together to perform again at The Manhattan in Moncton with The Blackrats.
Drummer Eric Bourque says Knife Party never really split up, they’ve just been busy with other things.
“I don’t think we will ever really break up, rather, we go through periods we don’t play, but odds are you can count on another show down the road (specifically when we release our 2nd album, still tied up in post production),” he tells East Coast Noise. “We use the term reunion loosely. I moved away to Toronto to study audio engineering. Now I’ve graduated and am taking time for a vacation home. Figured, we’re going to jam out some tunes anyway, might as well throw a show together, too!”
While Knife Party might not be the most active band, most of the band members are active with other projects.
“Musically, Danny Whoremoan is keeping the dream alive with his new band, Impulse Items and I’ve got a post punk act in Toronto called Careers In Science. Davey Romance romanced his lady so much they had a beautiful baby daughter and Rudy, The Belgian Berzerker, fights crime via vigilante justice by night, while being a handsome truck mechanic by day,” Bourque explains.
Admission to tonight’s show is $7. Show is set to get underway 10 p.m.
