If you were among the few brave souls who made it to the Alexisonfire show in Toronto on December 16th, well guess what? You don't get to come on Friday!!

Those who wussed out and didn't make it to the Arrow Hall during the worst snow storm in recorded history can redeem their ticket this Friday at The Sound Academy (formerly The Docks).

I was one of those that wussed out. I was in Toronto on the 15th with plans to take my wife home to Peterborough on the 16th, and then head back to T.O. for the show. When it took 3+ hours for the usual 1 1/4 hour drive I thought better of my return to Toronto.

Opening for Alexisonfire are upstarts Arkells and Quest For Fire. On their choice of openers Alexisonfire had this to say:

We thought that since this was a fun show to do, we would pick two bands that don't sound anything like us. Two bands that are just getting their feet wet. Two bands that are local and that we are all big fans of.

We'll see you there. Fingers crossed for decent weather.
