We're playing Tattoo Rock Parlour in Toronto, Wednesday, September 3rd. Opening are Mike Celia and Fourlines. Doors at 9pm, cover's $5. The place is at 567 Queen Street West. Sign up for the show on Facebook! It's gonna be wicked - we're breaking out a few of the new tracks we've been working on in the studio, as well as your All of Us Cities faves.
We played a solid show at Fat Cats in Kitchener last Friday (a few pics posted below). Quirky venue: the place is a pool hall, with the band tucked in a corner stage. Not ideal circs for putting on a performance, especially with the pool tables between us and the seats and tables! But people were into it all the same. Even those pesky stick-wielding interlopers were shimmying around the velvet in time to "Hearts and Minds"....
Looking forward to playing the Live Lounge tomorrow night in Ottawa, courtesy of Live 88.5! C'mon down and check us out, Friday, August 29th, doors at 8:30pm, cover $8. We're appearing with Marc Charron, Tara Holloway and Grace Over Diamonds. Should be a very cool show.
Nice write-up over at Andrew's Rock Blog. I was ever-so-briefly in a band called Station to Station with Drew, many moons ago. A buddy of mine (the drummer of my high-school punk band) played with them, and invited me in back in the 90s when their original guitarist left. We jammed out a few times but it never really connected. I bump into Andrew from time to time - we caught up recently at a birthday party for that drummer's one-year-old daughter. He's doin' fine working at Jack FM, and his blog is a great corner of the net for tidbits on rock classic and contemporary. Check it out!
Posting's been infrequent, I know. And there hasn't been much new going up. I'm glad to say that it's with good reason. The band's in the studio again with producer Marc Koecher. Yep, we've started work on new tracks at long last!
There'll be some samples of tracks coming soon. Right now we've started work on what's either a very long EP or a very short album, depending on your point of view.... One track we've broken out live a few times called "Wheels Come Off" is a rolling romp about plans gone awry. But man it's going to sound a bit different from those first live approximations! I'm pretty excited to be back in the studio, especially working with a few new collaborators this time around. Marc's signature production will be in full effect, but I think there's going to be more oomph, more rockness igniting the epic complexity. Zack's drums are pure thunder, and Scott's bringing some great melodic bass-lines to the table. I'm babbling, but you'll know what I'm talking about soon enough.
