Sometimes... Sparkle Motion can overstep the boundries of polite Canadian pleasantries. We're not talking about Soaping Fountains, or Roming around Rome in Togas here... we're talking about inadvertantly soiling the Canadian name, accidentally misreading a fellow traveller, and sending out the wrong message about ourselves, our band, and our country.
Yesterday, while taking a stroll around the Colleseum, we were approached by two young men recruiting hot young thangs for a Roma Pub Crawl. Names need not be named... but these two individuals were not exactly gentlemen, nor were they sober, in any way shape or form. We did our best to keep our composure, but we ended up declining the pub crawl informing these boys that we had a gig tonight at an irish pub, just up the bend, called Finnagins. Pretty sure they did not really believe the whole thing, but no harm no foul right? mmmmm... right. untilll...
About twenty minutes afterwards, we were strolling back through the Colleseum and yet another young man approached us. This one seemed to be more on his game, but we were weary of his intentions. As he pulled out a flyer for the Pub crawl we simultaneously informed him about our 'gig' that evening at Finnagins. One thing led to another, and this lovely young Kiwi took a general interest in our band. He asked for directions and seemed genuine when he said he would like to attend.
We were somewhat cornered. Originally thinking that this young man might be like his peers, we had openly bent the truth just a tad to avoid further harrassement. We did not have a gig that evening, and upon walking away from said Kiwi we actually felt pretty awful.
We appreciate the interest he showed in our Folk Rock Duo. As a New Zealander, he was familiar with our main influence, Flight of the Conchords, and we give him some solid snaps for that alone.
This particular blog is not so much an update, as it is an apology.
We'd like to take this time to say we are sorry to Sam.
Sorry for lying, sorry for judging you based on your not so suave co-workers, and sorry for giving you vague directions to a non-exsistant Gig. That was way offside.
Please forgive the Motion, and we hope that we have not ruined your opinion of Canadians, as you spoke very highly of us.
We enjoyed conversing with you and would love to keep in touch. Hopefully in the future we WILL have some solid gigs and assuming your still interested, we would love for you to come... free of charge.
Once again, we appreciate your kind words, killer accent and dreamy smile.
