The Pointed Sticks reunited to play their first Vancouver gig in 26 years Saturday January 10, 2007, at Richard's on Richards. The Vancouver show came on the heels of a very successful Japanese excursion in the summer of 2006, which saw the band play sold out shows in Kyoto and Tokyo.  (See the Japan Page of our website for some candid photos.)

In Spring 2007 the Sticks and Sudden Death Records released a 45 rpm vinyl single (Japanese Fan b/w Found Another Boy). The band played in Toronto (The Horseshoe Tavern) and New York City (The Radio Heartbeat Festival). In the summer they played to a packed house at  the Red Room in Vancouver.

The Sticks were proud to be part of Hardstock, a benefit for our friend Scott Harding who was seriously injured in an auto accident. Donations can be made to a trust set up for him. Scotty Hard Trust

The Sticks are in the process of recording a new album. A collection of live performances and a restored vintage recording are also in the works.

The Sticks next gig is in Austin, Texas August 29th at Emo's as part of the Wild Weekend Power Pop Festival.

"I recently saw these guys here in Vancouver (1st show in 25 years). I didn’t expect much, but WOW! Really great show! Two (much) younger bands opened for them and the 2nd act was really energetic and sharp. I didn’t know how the Sticks would be able to follow them, but like I said - WOW! Nick Jones had this punk rock lounge singer thing going on. Bill Napier-Hemy played like a Fraser Institute employee re-living the good old days (in other words - awesome!). Tony Bardach played with a “Roy Brown” fighter pilot’s cap on his head. Gord Nicholl smiled through the whole show and took pictures of the crowd. And Ian Tiles (RIP Dimiwit!) jumped around and hooted and hollered behind his drum kit like a 15 year old kid high on his first show (instead of the 50 something that he is)."
