Happy New Years eve !

First Thursday recording was bedded in six and is now in the hands of the Silverchilde. Expect a

fresh and tuneful start to the year.

Tomorrow night sees Sloan at the Casino Nova Scotia for two shows. It also sees the last night of

our beloved best club in town, Tribeca. Home to many a True Love Rules gig and JPE alumni.

Forced into closure by the man, who will never understand, whomever he is. Don't trust him.

So Happy New Years eve to all ! 2012 holds promise. Keep yr faith. Rock on ! xo

Thanks to all the rock and rollers for making 3 Nights at the Seahorse,... 3 nights to remember. And thanks to our opening acts, the enigmatic Jay Smith, tight as a can of sardines, Mardeen, and the umber flak enforcement of Yellow Jacket Avenger.

The JPE will be recording at New Scotland yard in January with the new tunes coming fast and furious outta the gate on a weekly basis.

In Halifax this week ? Visit the, soon to be no more, cozy confines of Tribeca for The True Love Rules and Gloryhound on Thursday night. Part of the annual come home week every Christmastime .....you just never know who's gonna hop on stage.

Season's Greetings earthlings !

St.John's does it again. It takes the cake, and then fills it full of rum and lays it out in front of ya. Thanks to everybody rocking in the drizzle. And to Elliot and Mark from the Novaks for letting us jam Fat Cat style. We can't return soon enough.

Edmunston, NB. 2 am. Last night of the tour. The Goldilocks motel. Meanwhile, over Paris, Davey Myles was listening to his new demos , next thing , lights out .

In Alliston we found a quilting exhibit and I thought Joel's jacket just had to join the party.

I'm Yours -live. From the beautiful Sydenham St .United Church , Kingston, Ontario .

A day off in Kingston to recharge.

A North Bay Saturday night . We rolled on down a clean dry highway from 2 stellar nights in Hamilton . This venue here is something special though ; a classic Capitol theatre like what used to grace many Canadian cities, including Halifax, before the stupid sob's torn it down . David Myles has just finished his charming set so it's time to stretch and kick , out the jams . Rock over North Bay .

St. John's once again provided all that was necessary for a first class rock and roll Friday night . Thanks to everyone coming out for the sold out show at MUN. And to all our pals downtown for the late night jam and drinks . Always nice to see the Novaks , et al. Looking forward to the next time .
Up next The Emergency is off to Ontario and Quebec . Come say hello .

The Canada Winter Games presents ; THE JOEL PLASKETT EMERGENCY . The Grand Parade, Halifax, Feb .14 th . Valentine's Day !!
