Patio’s opening everywhere, shorts, flip flops and t-shirts being adorned, you can’t help getting excited.

This week we were discussing how to make our shows more exciting for you. The idea of “new cover songs” came to mind and we started throwing around some idea. In the spirit of the nice weather we want to know what YOU would like to hear SSR play at an upcoming show. What’s your favourite driving song? Your favourite summer-time jingle? The one song that, when it’s time to rock n’ roll, you need to have playing at the top of the decibel range?

Write us on our Facebook page and let us know! We might play it at an upcoming show this summer.

Humble & Fred Global Headquarters received an official letter from Corus Entertainment telling them to cease and desist the use of “Humble & Fred” because Corus owns the trademark.  The letter went on to offer the trademark in exchange for a sum [...]]]> In the true spirit of pirate radio, Humble & Fred have been producing their own podcast and promoting it to nearly 200,000 daily listeners!  It’s an amazing story so far, and it got more interesting a few weeks ago.

Humble & Fred Global Headquarters received an official letter from Corus Entertainment telling them to cease and desist the use of “Humble & Fred” because Corus owns the trademark.  The letter went on to offer the trademark in exchange for a sum of money which H&F do not have.  After a phone call, the Humble & Fred team agreed to raise money for a charity with Corus’ help and in exchange Corus would surrender ownership of the Humble & Fred trademark to the boys themselves!

This brings us to the Humble & Fred Gift of Podcast Xmas happening at Wayne Gretzky’s on December 21st, 2011.  See Spot Run will be playing at the event to help raise money for charity and help the rightful owners of Humble & Fred reacquire their trademark.

The party starts at 5:30pm and they’ll be streaming live as well as uploading their podcast on HumbleAndFredRadio.com afterwards.  If you can’t make it to the show but still want to donate, you can click the “donate” link on the right side of the page at HumbleAndFredRadio.com.

If we don’t see you, have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!

Humble & Fred have gone pirate!  They have left the radio business and are now in the podcast business.  Yep, Canadian radio’s tag-team champions have started their own podcast radio show.  You can download a new show every day and it’s done LIVE in studio broadcast from a top-secret location.

That’s right, they’re back!  First they ruined radio, and now they’re going to wreck the Internet (they said, not me… I love H&F).

Humble and Chris started chatting on Facebook a while back about this new venture and when the Humble & Fred show asked us to come in a perform a couple of songs we responded “absolutely.”  Not only do we love to play, but Humble & Fred have been big supporters of SSR since Weightless and we wanted to share their excitement of the wild west of the world wide web experience they’re creating.

Two songs, some chat, and lots of fun is what you’ll hear on the 11.11.11 version of the show.  You can download the podcast directly from Humble & Fred’s site, or better yet you can subscribe to their podcast on iTunes and never miss another show!

Share the love on Facebook and Twitter and even G+ if you’re one of those geeky types (like me) who is on top of all the new social media stuff.

Our last couple of days was FILLED with events that continue to write our rock n’ roll book for us.  We arrived in Sydney, NS on Wednesday night to the historic Royal Hotel.  The Royal is a true rock n’ roll hotel where all the bands in the 80′s used to stay including the famous Cutting Crew (wrote “(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight”) and the owners Irene and Bert have all [...]]]> That’s right folks, SSR has landed in Newfoundland.

Our last couple of days was FILLED with events that continue to write our rock n’ roll book for us.  We arrived in Sydney, NS on Wednesday night to the historic Royal Hotel.  The Royal is a true rock n’ roll hotel where all the bands in the 80′s used to stay including the famous Cutting Crew (wrote “(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight”) and the owners Irene and Bert have all the posters to prove it!

It was a great stay at the Royal and Thursday morning we were off to the Newfoundland ferry for our journey to the Rock.  OOPS!  High winds canceled the ferry Thursday morning and we had to head back to the Royal for the day.  We all got to nap a bit after having only 3 hours’ sleep the night before, so it wasn’t all bad.  We had planned for this possibility, so there was no problem in taking the evening ferry on Thursday night.

We arrived at the ferry around 830pm for the 11pm ferry and…. OH NO!  The inbound ferry had gotten tangled in a buoy on its way in!  No ships were leaving tonight… now we have a problem.  The next ferry was not scheduled to leave until 11am Friday which, after a 7 hour ferry ride) would put us in Port aux Basques around 630pm local time with a 2.5 hour drive ahead of us to Corner Brook!  Yikes… talk about stress.

Randy called Irene and we were back to the Royal for a third time.   We watched game 6 of the World Series at the local pub and then turned in for the second long day in a row.

The van docked the ferry around 9am Friday morning and they set off around 10am, an hour earlier than scheduled!  This was good news.  We arrived in Port aux Basques around 330pm local time which means the driver had the throttle wide open across the channel… also good news!  We roared out of the gate and hurried up the coast and arrived in Corner Brook around 630pm which meant we had just enough time to get everything done that we needed to in order to get the stage set up and get ourselves showered after the ferry ride… wonderful!

The show at The Bar Room last night was awesome.  The people were great to us, they were dancing and hollering all night long and our sound guy Max even lost his voice he was having such a great time.   We are very thankful to The Bar Room, the radio support, and the fan support we’ve had throughout this tour and especially here in Newfoundland over the last while.

Tonight we’re headed back to The Bar Room for their Halloween party!  We can’t wait, it is going to be AWESOME.

See you there!
