December's Insurgency is a group of ridiculous guys who play complex rock/pop music. Often piano driven with catchy guitar hooks, they have no fear of out of the ordinary time signatures and soaring harmonies. The energy of this band on stage will blow you away. Able to take an audience from the edge of tears to the heights of excitement, their shows are roller coaster rides of musical thunderstorms that have to be seen to be believed.

Superbowl!!!

05 Feb 2010

This isn’t really related to the band — I mean, other than the fact that the four of us will, in fact, be together in front of a TV come kickoff time — but the Superbowl is coming up and it’s got me thinking football!! Like many of you know, I’m a HUGE football fan, both CFL and NFL, and to be honest the NFL playoffs this year has kind of sucked in terms of good games. I think we’ve had maybe two good games out of ten? Anyway, I’ve been thinking about the best games I’ve ever seen in my life, from start to finish. Considering I’ve watched maybe 250 full games in my time, I’ve seen some great games (see below) and some horrifically bad games (see: Cleveland 6, Buffalo 3) so without further ado, my top three in each league:

NFL: 3. New England 32, Carolina 29, Superbowl XXXVIII (the wrong team won but it was spectacular)

2. St. Louis 32, New York Jets 29, 2004 (the right team won (for me) and sneaked into the playoffs thanks to this game)

1. Arizona 51, Green Bay 45, 2010 playoffs (this was the greatest game I have ever seen from start to finish. ever. so good.)

CFL: 3. Winnipeg 32, Calgary 28, 2008 (Ryan Dinwiddie’s one win as a starter, and it was a comeback with under a minute to go)

2. Edmonton 38, Montreal 35, 93rd Grey Cup (just a solid all-around game that went into double overtime)

1. Winnipeg 51, Montreal 46, 2005 (probably the one highlight in what was an awful year. we went up 37-13, Montreal came back, then so did we)

Keep in mind I’m only counting games that I watched from start to finish, and these have to be games that were good games all throughout. I would have included the most recent Grey Cup, but the fact of the matter is it was not a good game until it was, like, 10 minutes to go. Anyway, enjoy the Superbowl! Go Saints!

Daniel Bergman regales us with his ability to memorize and perform Top 40 hits better than the actual artists who made them.

New Look! (To Stay)

30 Nov 2009

So you’re all probably confused, or in awe of this awesome new layout and look we have going on here.

It’s pretty simple. The last site didn’t feel like our band. It was close, but it was too bright and as silly as our band is, the music we play is a little more serious and we wanted to reflect that, while holding on to a little bit of  a cartoon feeling. So with the help of Obox Design and a little elbow grease, this site is taking the shape we want it to.

There are some minor tweaks that will be going on. But enjoy how easy it is to search by category, custom fonts, easy reading, cute exploding planes and aliens, how nicely videos show up, and coming hopefully very soon, our videos will be in a nice slider pane at the top right that you can just scroll through and then watch in HD. It’ll be sweet. A couple of fixes still need to happen as well (enjoy the glitched Lightbox effect in our photo gallery, it’s hilarious!), but hey, we’re doing a great deal of this ourselves with design help from a wonderful team. They work hard for us little guys, even though their clientele usually have much larger pocketbooks ;)

So enjoy the new site!

And for a slightly shameless plug: check out my Tumblr blog (it’s going live in the next couple of days) @ kieranmoolchan.com to get little insights into the world of a track athlete. It’s not a full blog, but a micro blog. Little snippets of things on the net and pictures/audio/video I put up. There will be something for everyone (actually, that’s not true, but if you like hearing about track, some charities and world issues or alt/rock/pop/hardcore/post-hardcore music, then there will be something for you.)
Peace,

Kieran

So Maybe Our Quotes Need Learning Now

29 Nov 2009

Hello everyone, it’s l’il Berga here – it has been too long!

First off, I’d just like to cordially thank all of you who came out to our last show with Living With Lions and Brighter Brightest, it was a blast! You guys are great fans. Thanks of course to the aforementioned bands – as well as Common Lives and Take Me To The Pilot – for sharing the stage with us and being awesome, and Circle Productions for having us play in the first place.

What a fantastic looking group... I would marry them

So things have settled down here just a little bit on the DI front since last weekend, as band members are recovering from sickness or traveling to far off lands to watch sports. But keep checking the site to make sure you don’t miss any info on our future plans – that includes shows, new music, videos, the whole shabang.

As a little bonus for you, I decided that I would love to post the lyrics to our oldest song online so you can see the amount of hard work that was put into it. I love explaining how this song was written at every show, and we even had the slideshow for you that one time to prove ourselves – but this will probably be easier seen than explained. Just know that this was a school project for grade 10 geography. Hope you enjoy!
