“ We’re sad to see the Slice go, but we‘re glad to Owl  decided to  have us,” said Black Mastiff bassist/vocalist  Clay Shea, who is joined by drummer Allan Harding and guitarist Bob Yiannakoulis.


“Our drummer moved  to Vancouver, so we’ve been working on that long distance relationship and still having him as a drummer,” Shea said.
 The trio are working on a new album, but it is still in the beginning stages.


 In the meantime Black mastiff are excited to take a break from a busy home life.
“ I’ve got  an 18 month old and a 3-and-a-half year old, so I’m busier than I ever thought I’d be. So I’ll be glad to get away on tour. My poor wife,” he chuckled.
 They are excited to shared the stage with Bad Guys.

“ Allan and Dave from their band grew up in Saskatchewan but he moved to the UK 17 years ago and they kept in touch or their paths crossed again. So we‘re doing a tour tradeoff. They‘re at the same level as we are. We’ll share our van and our gear here and at a later  date we’ll go over to Europe and tour with them and they’ll return the favour,” he said.

“We’re just going to roll with it,” he continued.


Shea said to expect to hear  a heavy and fun set from Black Mastiff.


“We’re not officially supporting  an album now, so it will be fun to revisit some of the older songs,” he said.
 He said they are sorry to be playing Lethbridge in the middle of the week rather than a weekend.


“The Bad Guys only had 10 days to work with, so that’s the way it goes I hope people will come out,” he continued.
 The show begins, Tuesday, Oct, 25 at approximately 9 p.m. Admission is by donation.
