Live appearance at yonge and dundas square

Hi All,

We will be appearing live at Yonge and Dundas Square (Friday Sept 11, at 6pm) in celebration of TIFF and in support the theatrical release of, Suck. The film, which makes use of TSO’s single, Let You Down, stars Malcolm McDowell and Dave Foley and includes onscreen appearances by such musical luminaries as Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Henry Rollins and Moby (to name a few).  Also appearing will be LA’s Burning Brides and Toronto’s own, Blue Peter.

An orphan finds a home

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the departure of one of our band members.

Todd Harrison has decided to leave the band to focus on other interests. We completely support Todd in this decision and there is nothing but respect and honour between him and the rest of the boys. He has been a true brother in arms. Todd’s commitment to TSO has been amazing. He has single-handedly maintained our website since the beginning, updating fans with personal reminders and afterthoughts. His energy and humor in rehearsal and during shows will never be forgotten.

On a personal note, Todd is one of my dearest frinds and I will sincerely miss his support and camaraderie on-stage and behind the scenes. I know I speak for all of us when I say: Thank You, Todd. We love you and we’ll miss you, buddy.

W.C.O.C.  FOREVER!
