Wow. We've had a few Stained shows with attendance in the very low double digits, but never a complete wash-out. You have my sympathy, Kent.

I just checked out a couple of tracks on their website, and they sound pretty damn cool. They are also playing here in Toronto next Tuesday at a club that is 3 blocks from my house... but Tuesday night is when I do my radio show! Crap! I'll have to swing by afterwards and see if I can at least catch the end of their set or something.
