Now there is no way to get in touch with Great Big Sea other than through the Ontario company they hired for web management? That says a lot.

What does it say, I wonder?
 

Announced Friday the 13th, indeed, what an ominous day...

Let me go on the records as saying that I'm disappointed with the decision to close down the snail-mail address for the band.  It strikes me as the band possibly becoming less accessible to their fans and making it clear that they care less and less about their fan base, imnsho.

Sure, we have the message board but what if a fan takes it into their head to send one or all of the band members something?  AND can't get to a concert for whatever reason...then what?

I feel that it's a bit of a smack in the face for the fans who give/gave a flying turd about the band.

At the request of management, the original Snail Mail box is now closed.
This doesn't mean you do not have other means of contacting the boys!
The Contact Page will be updated shortly, but you can still send mail to the boys via this address:

GreatBigSea.com
c/o 2238 Dundas Street West
P.O. Box 59039
Toronto, ON
M6R 3B5
Canada

If you have questions regarding the boys, or just want to send a note, I highly recommend e-mailing help@GreatBigSea.com, as your question or comment will be dealt with much quicker.

If you still have questions, let me know.

Bonnie, the band is still accessible to their fans and the decision to close the original Snail Mail box is in no way intended to be a slap in the face.
The boys love their fans and are not attempting to cut ties with any of you.

The Contact page has been updated with the new "Snail Mail" address. =)

Thanks for the update, Nico.  Perhaps when the announcement was made it should have been made clear that a new snail mail address was in the works.

The new snail maiil adrress does not go to Great Big Sea. That's the address of the company that runs this site.

So Nicolle...are you saying that all of what gets sent to your company is going to be forwarded to the guys? Or will it wind up filed in the circular bin?

Everyone concerned with the Snail Mail Box, please head to the latest news post for a note from the boys regarding this.
In the meantime, you can continue to send mail to the other address, and we will forward it to the band's management.
