Hot Flashes
GATES OF WINTER - Gearing Up For Live Dates In Ontario And Quebec
Posted on Thursday, May 29, 2008 at 01:45:06 EST

Canada's GATES OF WINTER has issued the following update:

"Hails!

It has been a while since our last newsletter and yes they are getting less and less flashy.. but the meat and potatoes:

1) Dave Gold (WOODS OF YPRES) arrives early July and you can expect some serious jammage and severe drunkenness to ensue. We can't wait to welcome this man into our world and start playing again!!

2) Tour information for the summer. So far dates are looking like August 22nd - September 6th throughout Ontario and Quebec. Something tells me the band we are touring with... are a little well known... to be announced when it is all set in stone!!

3) Official Gates of Winter model! Our very own Gates Girl! Tiff hails from California and has been dynamite throughout the process of getting photographs done up! We have her featured in some wallpapers up on the site in the Media Section as well as featured on our main page.

I know the wait has been long. But we cannot express enough gratitude to the many publications who have featured and reviewed our material.. and to the many who still write us in request to work together. We'll be on the road soon enough - with new material, DG and a whole lot of energy.

Thank all of you for this opportunity. It's only going to get better from here!"

DG - \w/

Tell me one of the tour dates is in Windsor, or close by.

 

[stevenfurgiuele]

hey phantom - september 3rd is supposed to be a Windsor date but nothing is set in stone yet =)

and Black Death you could say that.. or a variation of that.. more details to come. we are excited to bring DG to the fold as our full time drummer!!

 

[phantomfreak]

Well if it becomes official I know what I will be doing on September 3rd. I can't wait to see Gates of Winter and Woods of Ypres (if that is the secret "little well known" band) play live.

 

[Dauden]

That would pretty well be the greatest show ever, haha. PLEASE come to London (Ontario), I'm sure The Embassy would love to have you

 

[CanadianMetalFan]

Hey you have fans in British Columbia too come to Victoria or at the very least Vancouver!

Any update on this ?
Only one month before August 22nd

 

[David Gold]

The last details are being worked out...I'll post a full update on the tour dates asap! Thanks! Hope to see you out!

P.S. - We've been jamming our balls off.

 

[Dauden]

^ Let the deliciousness commence Mr. Gold, haha. I absolutely can't wait.

 

[David Gold]

We started our work on 'covering' a WoY song tonight...can you guess which one(s) we'll do???

- A meeting place and time
- Summer's envy ( please ! )
- The Northern Cold
- Your Ontario town is a burial ground


...And probably many more

 

[Frosties]

Sea of Immeasurable Loss!!!


Whatever it is, make sure you record it!

 

[Darth Grimby]

- Your Ontario town is a burial ground

That is my guess.

 

[stevenfurgiuele]

That is my guess.

good call!
however there is one more that we will be adding to the set as well!

 

[The Black Death]

however there is one more that we will be adding to the set as well!

Since the tour is suppose to start the 22nd of august... Maybe: " The end of August "

Seriously, this is an amazing song !!!

 

[phantomfreak]

The Sun Was In My Eyes

 

[Dauden]

The Will To Give? I'd love to see Distractions of Living Alone since the drums are amazing in that song, and obviously having David do drums would be ideal I really hope you guys plan on playing with Moonsorrow, that'd be a show for the ages.

 

[David Gold]

GoW update: after jamming like hell for less than two weeks, GATES OF WINTER is (already) ready to crush on stage!!! Show dates to be announced soon!

 

[The Black Death]

I noticed on the Gates of Winter myspace that you will play with SIGH ( 18 sept. ) in Sudbury....
Are you playing in Montreal ( the night before ) too ?
