Humane Society Benefit

Humane Society Benefit

The Humane Society Benefit at Irene's was Saturday, April 12. Also playing were the Rookers and Sick Sick Sicks. It was a great success - over $1100 was raised. Many thanks to all who participated in the silent auction (both providing and buying stuff), and especially to the bands for playing for a cause.

The Right Honourable Sir Wilfred Laurier

Let's Go Liberal

This is a rough mix of a song that we wrote for friends of ours who are Liberal supporters. We're not exactly liberals ourselves but we are pretty liberal thinking (particularly with our morals) but if you support the band enough ... what the hell ... Well you get the picture ... thanks for supporting the band.

the Dakota

Our first out-of-town show at the Dakota in Toronto was a lot of fun. We opened for the Evil Farm Children and much rock occurred. See? The Toronto crowd isn't as sullen and uninterested as reported.

The New Year's Eve show at Irene's was great - thanks to all who showed up with almost no warning! And thanks to Ninety Pounds of Ugly and Sick Sick Sicks for helping us out!

The BushPilots' fourth annual xmas bash was December 14 at the Rainbow. Also on the bill were Good2Go. I don't remember ever playing xmas shows but this one was pretty freakin' good. Thanks to everyone who made it on a cold, cold night.

Spaghetti Western

Spaghetti Western - a Clutch Vernissage

Your favourite band played the "Spaghetti Western" - themed Clutch vernissage at the Mercury Lounge on December 2. Everyone got to watch brother (Greg on guitar) vs. sister (Lori on collages) in a battle over who the 'rents love the most! I think I won.

The show on Saturday, October 27 at Irene's was a whole lotta fun. Thanks to all who showed up. There was much rejoicing.

O-Town Hoedown

O-town Hoedown!

The Ottawa Alt-Country weekend was a huge success! Thanks for coming out. When the All-Stars kicked out their brand of high octane Cow Punk on Saturday night with good friends Lefty McRighty and the Polymorphines the audience sure as hell knew what to do! It was a blast. If you missed this one, be sure to catch the debauchery next time around! Thanks again!

Back to the Bottle Again video

All -Stars video

Apparently, one of the revellers at the CD release party took it upon themselves to video a song (Back to the Bottle Again). Thanks - we appreciate all the help we can get! Please go to the Facebook, Youtube, or Google video and check it out.

CD release party

CD Release Party Success!

The Bible All-Stars would like to thank everyone who came or tried to come out! The show on September 8th was completely sold out and, damn, you guys drink a lot! Lucky Ron and 90 pounds of Ugly quickly whipped everyone into a frenzy which lasted all night. The Bible All-Stars took the stage at 11:45 and ramped up the psychobilly until the wee hours of the morning to an amazing audience who themselves became part of the show!

Bible All-Stars CD

CD Now Available in Local Stores and Online

With interest in the CD increasing, it has become difficult for the band to follow up themselves on orders. In light of this, the CD has been made available through 4 locations in Ottawa ( Birdman Sound, Compact Music in the Glebe, Nine Lives, and Vertigo) and we've added an online store to our site (thanks to Steve at www.tunevault.com). If you can't wait to pick one up at the next show, please drop into one the of these locations or grab it online.




A honky-tonk life ain't always pretty and neither are the Bible All-Stars. Ottawa’s Alt-Country Rockers successfully fuse hillbilly, country and punk into a heady brew ready for consumption.

The recent self-titled release - their first - is a tribute to the life that we’ve all lived at one time or another: one littered with broken hearts, lost weekends, self-loathing and, if we’re lucky, a little hard-earned happiness along the way. With songs like The Last Time Again, Lord, I’m Goin’ Down and Face Down in the Rain the CD documents a real life, well worn, warts and all.

Their music is described as a collection of "redemption songs written from the sinner's point of view". In the spirit of Hank Williams and the Louvin Brothers, the band explores the themes of heaven, hell, devils and angels through the eyes of unrepentant sinners.

Although the Bible All-Stars are less than a year old, these veterans of the Canadian indie scene have honed their skills to a sharp edge as members of bands such as Jimmy George, SuperManchu, and the Patsies. Individually they have performed in Canada, the US, New Zealand and the UK and shared bills with bands including Wesley Willis, the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, 5440, the Grapes of Wrath, Tupelo ChainSex, Tav Falco, and Spirit of the West.
