Hello Operator

Hey you can find lyrics up on our myspace. We’ve had a bunch of you asking where you can find them so we put them up for you. Click Here

Thanks, Andrea for posting these pictures on Facebook of the Cobalt show I mentioned, which ended up with us onstage singing Bohemian Rhapsody with Suzie McNeil.  Does it make it funnier, or just a little sad, that the costumes weren’t planned - we just happened to be amusing ourselves backstage in the costume room when we were called up on stage….

Hey!  Someone sent this over to us today.  It’s a really nice review of our new EP in the Edmonton Journal.  Check it out:

Album: The Breaks

Artist: Hello Operator

Label: Morada Music

Rating: 4

Review: Hello Operator? Could you please connect me to some vibrant, neon-splashed pop-rock songs that’ll propel me into a frenzy of ’80s-inspired footwork? The Breaks is Hello Operator’s latest EP, and by the sounds of the six tracks found on this little cherry-flavoured jube jube, the Toronto-based new-wave group knows how to pen some incredibly catchy tunes. From the moody number Chasing Satellites to the cooler-than-thou 55 Regrets, there’s no song on The Breaks that doesn’t utilize the same simple climactic choruses to tickle the taste buds. Before you know it, you’ll be singing — and dancing along — to that mysterious voice coming out of your speakers 

Cameron’s Brewery was really nice to us on our last tours with Faber Drive and Suzie McNeil, so we edited some videos of us with the beer on the road. We found costumes backstage at one show and we were working on a good one that involved Cameron’s beer, a huge bunny suit and our guitar tech dressed up like Dee Snider. The only problem is right before we started filming it, we heard Suzie McNeil call us up onstage to sing Bohemian Rhapsody, so we had to run out costumes and all…. anyone from Cobalt have any photos or videos of this??? Here’s what did end up on their website:

We’re pretty excited to have our music in the new version of SBK-08 Superbike World Championship.  The game looks awesome and is out in Europe in September for Playstation and Xbox.  Check out the trailer for the game, featuring Chasing Satellites!

Wow it took a late night laundry session to realize there are a ton of live videos on Youtube from this tour so far.  Thanks to everyone posting stuff - keep it coming, it’s awesome.  It’s good to know when we sucked and which nights we rocked all of your worlds.  This one leans a little to the latter if I do say so myself. ;) This was another amazing show early in the tour…  

I think this aired awhile ago now, but I just saw it for the first time. -e

I’m writing from Super 8 in Midland, Ontario.  Should be sleeping, but I’m stuck here waiting for my laundry to dry. We found this video tonight of Kyle’s bass amp breaking on stage in Brockville.  I forgot what a fun show it was and the madness that followed me suggesting he take his shirt off while we figured out how to finish our set with no bass amp.  Funny shit. -e

We’re hanging out in beautiful Montreal today. Last night we had a night off and checked out the Die Mannequin/Social Code/Sum 41 show with the Faber guys and Brian Melo’s band. It was nice to take a night just to hang out, watch some bands and stuff our faces with Hot Dogs Steame and Poutine.

In other news, Kyle really likes his new Macbook. Check out a little video he made on the first part of our tour.
