In other news, over the last week you may have noticed that www.eatmyrhubarb.com no longer links to the rubbish site. This is because namezero.com, the host of eatmyrhubarb.com has decided that the free ride is over, and that the name can/and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder (others who would want such an obsecure and idiotic url must have problems). Anyways, until further notice, the site can only be accessed through www.geocities.com/eatmyrhubarb/main.html or the old angelfire page www.angelfire.com/myband/rubbish/ . rubbish is sorry for any inconvienience, and a new server is to be set up as soon as possible.

rubbish has now confirmed a couple shows for the end of August. Firstly, the day of Aug 25th rubbish will be playing a double show at the Ex (Landsdowne Park) on the Shell Stage at the Ex's AlternaFest. The first of the two shows will be from 7pm - 7 30 and the second at 9pm - 9 30. rubbish has developed two completely different sets to make both shows that much more entertaining, and have also created two new songs that will make their debut. Also included on the bill will be thirteen. The show is free with admission to the Ex so come out and catch both shows!
rubbish will also be headlining a show Aug 31st in Brockville with band Last Standing Defence. Although the venue is still to be determined, tickets will be $2 at the door and the show starts at 7pm. Another one or two bands will also be on the bill to make the evening a night of great music.
rubbish has entered a battle of the bands on XFM (101.1FM) to battle it out for positions at SnoJam. More info to come as to where to vote later.
Finally, with Chris back from Scotland video production for "Home" and completing the new EP can now reccomence. Stay tuned for details!
Updates to the site include new shows in the shows section. Anybody with pics of rubbish playing over the last couple of months is encouraged to send pics to [email protected]. New pics of rubbish from Canada Day are to come next update.
