simon, we've been hearing that bands are having trouble getting over the border with their gear, etc. What could happen if we were booked in Montreal is that we'd get turned back at the border and would end up a no-show for the gig.

Well I have not heard anything like that recently as long as you keep your weed home (we have plenty here). I saw An Albatross last week for a freaking loft show and didn't have any problems with the border. I will inquire with my promoter "friends" about this...

I've heard that some bands tell the border patrol ppl that they're going over to record and as long as they have a letter from a studio, they're golden. just be careful with merch.

the key to that plan being that the band is travelling to Canada to spend money in the country, not to take it away

There are exemptions so if I find you a gig in an art space or something like that it should work. With the proper paperwork of course:
Foreign artists and their essential supporting staff coming to Canada to perform do not need a permit if they are only performing in Canada for a limited period of time and will not be performing in a bar or restaurant. Artists working in Canada in this category may not enter into an employment relationship with the Canadian group that has contracted for their services. Artists must also not perform for the production of a movie, television or radio broadcast.

just as the van drives up to the border toby snaps his fingers and is like "...NOW!"
and with a mad scramble the seven sweaty boys + mia root through the boxes of merch, flinging items every which way.
the uniformed border guard leans into the window with his tinted aviator sunglasses and is like "what we got here, ey?" and looks at the eight smiling kayo dotites all wearing six layers of t-shirts.
two days later, a teenager leaves the kayo dot show, turns to his friend, and says "dude, i think this t-shirt smells"

with today's national security environment, i would really NOT like to involve any kind of deceptions in traveling aboard. shit they'll see i have an arabic middle name and a beard and try to say we are bunch of damn terrorists.

and also the night before you leave there's a decent chance ryan will come back from a party with an osama bin laden neck tattoo.

More info:
Looks good to me and it is legit! So all you need is a letter from the promoter/concert hall and your passport/birth cerificate and everything should fine as long as you playing in a proper space...
