Versus the Nothing is approaching the last leg of a two-and-a-half month Canadian tour, and they’re already planning their next venture which will take them across North America.

Ande Otte, the band’s guitarist and singer, said all five members of the group get “stir crazy” anytime they’re home too long.

“When you’re at home, it seems like you’re not bettering the band and working towards your dream,” he said.

Versus the Nothing will roll through Greater Sudbury Nov. 23 and 24, putting on two shows at the Coulson Night Club.

Otte said the band “prides itself” on playing hard at every show. He said their live performances are visual, intense and interactive.

Since they are on the road so often, he said they have had lots of practice developing their “stage legs.”

Shortly before the band finishes its current tour, Otte said their next single, Killer, will be released. He said the rhythmic “sing-a-long” song is always a crowd favourite at live shows.

Sometime in early 2011, Otte said Versus the Nothing will release its second album. The members of the band, who all hail from Vancouver, have been playing together for nearly a decade. Everyone contributes to the song writing process by adding in their own ideas, which keeps the group’s sound fresh, Otte said. While all five members contribute differently, they do work towards a common goal.

Otte said the entire group will be happy as long as they can keep performing.

“As long as we have food (to eat) and people at our shows, we’ll just keep going,” he said.

Versus the Nothing will perform at the Night Club at 10:30 p.m. both evenings. For more information about the group, visit http://www.myspace.com/versusthenothing.

Vancouver Rockers Show That You Can Indeed be Versus Nothing
Dave Jaffer

Versus The Nothing: If they weren't from Vancouver, they'd be walking on sunshine, now, wouldn't they?

What’s better? Not getting into a trend that you want to get into at the very beginning, before all of your friends, family members and co-workers, or not getting into said trend at all, and missing all the good times that could have been had?

Before you answer, let us clarify: We’re not talking about frosted tips or crack cocaine, we’re talking about a hard rock band from Vancouver.

(insert long pause)

Okay, now that you’ve dyed your hair and put down your pipe, it might be useful for you to know that the rock band in question is Vancouver Rock City’s Versus The Nothing, who may not be mathematicians but who have already had a pretty good year, and who seem to be building on it by way of their current tour.

The reason we started talking about getting into a trend in the middle instead of the beginning is because Versus The Nothing‘s current tour is just about half over. But it’s long enough (not that length is everything, people…) so that if we add all the upcoming dates it shakes out to a ton of live dates.

We’re tired of writing, so, from a release:

“VTN are currently prepping for their highly anticipated 2011 release of their Black Gloves EP, a follow up to their 2008 Let It All Come Down that saw an astonishing amount of commercial placements with Mazda, Tom Green’s 2009 movie Shred or Be Ridden and SEGA’s “Soundtrack for Vancouver 2010″ – the Official Video Game of the Olympic Winter Games plus a handful of others that have followed since.”

To get a sense of what that EP may sound like, run, don’t walk, to one or more of the upcoming dates:

Nov 18 – Montreal QC @ Hemisphere Gauche – W/ Shoot Down Order
Nov 19 – London ON @ Norma Jeans – w/guests (19+)
Nov 20 – Cambridge ON @ 515 concert Club – W/ Bobnoxious
Nov 23 – Sudbury, ON @ The Nightclub – W/ Guests (19+)
Nov 24 – Sudbury, ON @ The Nightclub – W/ Guests (19+)
Nov 25 – Thunder Bay ON @ Jacks – W/ Guests (19+)
Nov 26 – Winnipeg MB @ The Zoo – W/ The Ruined, Dryrun and Broken Halo (19+)
Nov 30 – Banff AB @ Rose & Crown – W/ Guests (19+)
Dec 1 – Banff AB @ Rose & Crown – W/ Guests (19+)
Dec 2 – Calgary AB @ The Distillery – W/ Guests (19+)
Dec 5 -Edmonton AB @ DV8 W/ Guests
Dec 8 – Sylvan Lake AB @ Incline Industries W/ Guests(AA)
Dec 11- St Albert AB @ The Tap House W/ Guests (18+)
