  • An Odyssey Into Touring, Heartbreak and General Fuckedupedness with Slow Down Molasses By: Chrix Morix Preface
    JANKY An Odyssey into Touring, Heartbreak and General Fuckedupedness with Slow Down Molasses by: Chrix Morix Preface On Saturday, October 2, 2010, Ryan Drabble – who tours as a sound tech for Regina’s Library Voices – came through Montreal. The show was at Café Campus, possibly the most insipid venue in the Plateau. In‐between each fey, indie pop song, obnoxious dance beats swelled from the club upstairs. I still can’t comprehend why bands allow their agents to continue booking shows there. Tellingly, the night ran late and Library Voices played a surprisingly glib set considering their audience had dwindled to a handful of kids willing to brave another band at 3am. The next afternoon, Drabble and I met over some veggie burgers and fries. He mentioned that Slow Down Molasses were about to embark on a tour – “the entire country, coast‐to‐coast,” he smiled. Drabble always seems a little crazy, albeit in the most amazing, wholesome way ever. But the thought of that band – a group committed to playing the sketchiest shows ever on the road – planning and executing a cross‐Canada tour was actually sort of laughable. Slow Down Molasses could barely make it to a coast without having things unravel, fall apart and everything scattering on the sidewalk from a busted pocket. “Want to come?” Of course. There were a lot of reasons to say no. I hadn’t worked a real job in over a year and was living off rapidly dwindling savings. I had several other projects on the go – my band called Muskeg was just starting to record and play shows and my other band The Eyebats were about to release an EP on a label.
