...Well, they never really went away. But as with many Peace Region bands, they've undergone their fair share of lineup changes and accompanying hiatus's (um hiatuses?) ... time off.  With the departure of FSJ's esteemed percustitute, Mitch Guindon, remaining members Adam Perrin and Tyson Mowat were not to be left alone for long. Ryan Hennessey offered up his services to fill the vacancy. He says:

"I'd been a fan and a friend of The Suspicious for years, since the first Rockin the Peace event. When Mitch left, I could see the growth that the band had undergone, the set that they had built, I knew I'd have a good time playing drums with them.  When a band, any band, works hard and puts in the effort you don't want to see that fade away.  Plus, I've always dug Mitch's playing so I've tried to rip off some of his chops. We'll see how it goes!"

In early 2012, the band is eager to play live in FSJ, Dawson Creek and perhaps further abroad.  The inaugural show of the year is at Egan's Pub, Friday Feb 3rd, at 8:30 pm.  Come on down for some straight up, loud and proud, decade-spanning rock and roll!

Welcome to 2012, the year the Mayans gave up on calendars, life, the universe, and everything.  Well, not til December at least...which means we have 11 more issues of Northern Groove mag to go until, much like Y2K, nothing exciting happens and we sit around and wait for the next bit of nonsense about the end of everything to come around.

Welcome to the Tuesday afternoon funnies. The Amazing Tyson Mowat shared his thoughts about life and Halloween in this awesome cartoon format and we wanted to share it with everyone (because it's just that awesome).
