disBAND: Calicose

September 18th, 2008

You can see Calicose on episode 4 of disBand today at 6:30pm ET! (For more show times go here). Here’s what drummer Jeff has to say about their experience on the show.

Hey kids, Jeff here from your local AA group Calicose. Here to fill you up with some motion sickness love and tell you a True Story at the same time. Wanna hear a True Story?
No? Really?
Well deal with cause im gonna tell the story anyways….

About two months ago this young lad I know named Keir bought a used car from the Pimps R’ Us located in Jacksonville, Ontario. Its a real place, look it up. Anywho, you know that myth, never buy a used car from a pimp… in this case Keir should have thought twice because two months ago that car gave him a certain illness that starts with an S. Don’t ask us how, but it was scientifically proven to us by a wandering gang of Tom Brokaws, who were hiding within the cast of Family Guy.

Anywho, Keir’s old pals Stu and Alana, both lead members of the P.B.S. crew (hahahaha), read online that the one and only way to cure yourself of that illness that ends with an yphilis was to perform in front of a panel of judges live at MuchMusic. If these judges thought you were worthy, they would provide the antidote. So Stu, Alana and Keir set off on a mission to start a band in order to save Keir’s little buddy. They found me along the way at those very classy $5 places in Mississauga where the ladies are ohhhhhh so friendly.

HA! Okay thats enough of that, in all seriousness, HUGE props to producers Adam and Leslie for working with us and for dealing with all our terrible jokes; we meant it when we said we could not have asked for cooler producers!! :D We also wanna send a huge thanks to Greig Nori. Even with such an impressive resume, this guy is single handedly one of the most down to earth musicians we have ever come across. Kiddies, go out and buy this man’s records.

The experience of being on this show was unreal! Everyone in the band sacrificed a lot in the last two months in order to shoot for the show, but im pretty sure if you ask each member, they would do it all again in a heartbeat. Anywho, if you wanna DOWNLOAD our 8 song album go here or visit our MySpace to spread some love.

Your Pals,
Calicose

ps. it’s a shame this is the extremely edited down version of this blog… if you guys wanna see the original, visit our MySpace in the coming week, we will post it when we stop being dirty burnouts.
