+ If this post wasn't long enough, here's links to live GATES vids on Youtube:

 
YES! London! Woo! I absolutely gotta make it out to that. Know of any supporting bands? Thats gonna be an awesome time.
 
>>>Is that September 3rd date that is still TBA still supposed to be the Windsor date?

Yeah, the 2nd or the 3rd. 'The Coach and Horses' is slow to respond to e-mails it seems. However, whatever day we are in Windsor, rumor is we might be doing an earlier all ages show at Dr. Disc. :)

I'll keep you posted!
 
Just played our first gig as the new GATES OF WINTER this evening in SSM. W/ Special guests 'The Womb" from Toronto and 'Inflict' from North Bay. ...Slayed!

I'll be posting some live vids on Facebook tomorrow.

Full tour dates should be announced in the next couple days. The last few show details are being ironed out, with a hell hot iron. Stay tuned! :kickass:
 


Here is a new tune entitled FROM NOTHINGNESS. Our first time ever playing it live and we decided to throw it down instrumentally for the gig. Enjoy =)
