On Tuesday evening they announced that they were cancelling their show in Toronto that night.
And the bus hasn’t moved since. The band have been able to leave the vehicle thanks to the work of the local fire department, but they’ve been living on the bus, tweeting alarming images of the scenes around them.
Last night’s show in Montreal was also cancelled after yet more heavy snowfall:
The band say they’ve been kept going working on their music, having some drinks, and enjoying sustenance from a local cafe, run by “our hero Rooster keeping his cafe open for the stranded. Salt of the earth”.
