“the truth is that there is a fourth side with songs and characters that complete the story. These songs are Major Minor, Fall
Before You Finish, The Cathedral, and Step Inside.”
“Chemical City was released 20 years ago, but on the original vinyl pressing, side four was left blank… a chapter missing. We
recorded Chemical City with Producer Mark Howard in Newrybar, Australia in 2005 at a place called The Old Church (which is
exactly what it was…an old church). We then came home to Montreal three months later and resumed working on the
songs, this time with childhood friend and producer Joseph Donovan. At last, armed with a finished album, we knocked on
the door of the head of our record label to tell him that our now-overdue sophomore release was a concept album
populated by astral voyagers, dead-beat super heroes, apocalyptic love, nefarious gangland henchmen and a rag-tag
resistance… Somewhere in all of the chaos that followed, a few of the songs were left behind. Either unmixed, unfinished or
lost…It is difficult for us not to consider the album as set in stone after having played the songs for so many years- the way it
was meant to be. However, the truth is that there is a fourth side with songs and characters that complete the story. These
songs are Major Minor, Fall Before You Finish, The Cathedral, and Step Inside. “

Tour” April 04 (Halifax) April 05 (Toronto) April 16 (Vancouver) April 18 (Edmonton) and April 24 (Montreal)
