MAY 23/08- ROSESDEAD FAREWELL SHOW/MUSIC VIDEO
I CALL THIS SAFETY are pleased to announce they have been added to the Ottawa date of the upcoming Rosesdead farewell tour. Taking place on Friday June 13th at Cafe Dekcuf (221 Rideau St), this show is the second last of Rosesdead's limited farewell dates and will be Ottawa's last chance to catch them before they call it quits. Tickets will be available for $11 in advance and can be attained directly by contacting the band through their MySpace, or at End Hits in Ottawa at 407 Dalhousie St. Also included on the bill are Blackbox Records' Sydney, Oceans, and locals Hartford.
The month of June however contains plenty more excitement: ICTS has teamed together with local film company Tormega Films and are currently planning the groundwork for a music video shoot early in the month for their track "Cameras or Guns...One of Y'All is Going to Shoot Me to Death". Based on a dramatic dystopian short story written by a local author, I CALL THIS SAFETY are extremely excited to be working with a director that shares their vision for the song. More details will be released shortly, but for those curious, the band will be in need of extras for a portion of the filming. Those interested in being part of the shoot are asked to message the band's MySpace account directly here.
Furthermore, in tribute to the upcoming music video, ICTS has decided to release a full downloadable version of "Cameras or Guns". Be sure to download this song while you can, as it will only be available exclusively on the band's MySpace for a limited time!

After taking a month off to write while drummer Jon Busby recovered from emergency surgery, I CALL THIS SAFETY have finally released the second single from their forthcoming split. The song "the Force of Change" can be found exclusively on the band's MySpace player here.
ICTS would like to thank all those in attendance at their show last Friday. The band had a great time playing alongside Dead and Divine, Sydney, and There Were Thousands, and want to personally thank Deathbound Booking for giving them their spot on the soldout bill. I CALL THIS SAFETY also wishes to thank everyone who purchased their ticket in advance directly from them for their continuing support!
