Postpartum

The year Two Thousand Eight has started off as a whirlwind. My brain only grudgingly accepts the fact that we vacated our humble home on Victoria Street 5 months ago. Timelines are a blur. We are now in the interesting slice of time between the record being complete and it being released. A doldrum of sorts. There are moments of excitement and anticipation and tunnel moments where all light vanishes and only darkness remains. Will anyone like it? Does it matter? Does that matter? I can say only for sure that we're happy with it and are ready to let it exit the womb, enter the world and begin it's own life.

We've got 2 shows this week. One at the University of Waterloo, in the Student Life Center. We've played there before and it was pretty cool. Big open room, high ceilings, comfortable chairs. University aged people unintentionally making me feel old. "Who's that geezer playing guitar?" Who're you calling a geezer? I'm 52, and dyslexic. The other show is at eBar in Guelph. The eBar is a sweet venue so if you're able, come on out and see the show.

All the details are on our... Myspace.

Last Friday the lovely KLP had us on her show at CKMS. We played some acoustic adaptations of songs and spoke with her about what we're up to. Bill the soundman was most excellent. I will post some of the audio once we get a copy of it.

We've also been doing some obscure (and very cool) rehearsals with a friend of ours named Jamie. Maybe you'll see some of it at The Horseshoe CD release? It's very cool stuff. I find him to be one of those people that you just hit it off with instantly. Same vibes, same page, same ideas when it comes to quality.


I'd like to thank everyone who attended our Listening Party at The Children's Museum this past Saturday. I'd also like to thank our friends, families and loved ones for helping us with food, decorations, etc. You know who you are and we love you.

Big thanks to the Children's Museum for having us too. It is inarguably a very cool place. If you've never been, you should check it out.


Over and out.

I am willing to bet it's an incredible birth.

Trust me, your last show at SLC was a much older crowd than you thought, we just hide it well. It's in our nature.

I will see you at the SLC, come say hi if you have the time... I can try and sneak you into Bomber again. :)

I hope the birth goes smoothly. 10 fingers and 10 toes and all that hopefully stuff.

Sucks that the SLC was canceled. Better than sliding off a road and wrapping ourselves around a pole I suppose.

Be great if you could make it out to The Horseshoe.
