Here are some of my design ideas for the Lunchmeat album cover.

More Shows!!!

Played a show last night in Toronto at the Smiling Buddha. It was fun, but I’m more excited to hit the road tonight. We are embarking on another mini tour. Again we are on tour with our good friends Ancestors. This time we will be showing off Lunchmeat to South West Ontario. We have two shows this weekend. Tonight the show is at the KBD Hall in Chatham and then tomorrow night we are playing the Coach and Horses in Windsor. I will be taking tons of pictures, so there will be a ton to post on sandersrichmond.com and flickr in the future.

This is the band that hosted us. Ancestors have played with Meadowlark Lemon before. That’s how we know them.

The show was posted in the the Sudbury Star Newspaper. Check out this quote:

“Their singer studies ancient poetry at U of T and can speak Latin. When we went to Toronto, their bassist told me that their band was going to destroy mine, and that their keyboardist would make me want to quit playing keyboards. Then he gave me a hug and told me that he loved me.”

The band we played with got their name from a basketball player. Actually, he was a Harlem Globetrotter.

Meadowlark Lemon (born April 25, 1932) is an American basketball player and actor. Lemon was known, for 22 years, as the “Clown Prince” of the touring Harlem Globetrotters basketball team.

“Just Dip It” is remarkably close to Nike’s slogan, “Just Do It”. Their lawyers will be contacting Pizza People soon.

We stopped in Barrie at our friend Todd’s house to pick up Chris from the band Ancestors. Then we carried on our way to Sudbury so Lunchmeat could play 2 all ages shows. Our singer Sammy, is standing in front of Todd’s house. There was way more snow in Barrie than I was expecting! I can’t believe how different it is in Barrie and it’s only a 45 min drive north of Toronto.

“Slow/Dynamite thrive on contradictions, between heroic and vanquished, harmony and discord, chaos and order, collapsing these poles into a coherent and gripping musical proposition. All of which makes for a particularly tasty new sound, and a barnstorming debut. Get on it y’all.” – impose magazine
