IRIS birthday.... Piano

Saturday night we played a show at Maxwell's Music House for Carrie and Todd - I.R.I.S. -one year birthday celebration. KW/Hamilton band Spirits headlined the evening. It would be a modest statement to say it was a most excellent night.

We first met Carrie in my shitty old apartment back in 2004. We were just releasing our first record, 'The Middle Ground'. Now here we are 2 albums later and onto number 4.

Oh the places you'll go! A back alley almost as far west as the roads of this country go. Across the parking lot a door opens. A slice of light brightens the pavement. The day's warmth lingers, or is it the cigarette Longevity John - the promoter/owner - is smoking that is making my head light? Suddenly a flood of miniature furrballs pours from the doorway. 14 dogs surround me. I reach for my camera, but the moment has passed.



On Sunday - after moving a van full of gear for the IRIS show - we drove to Walkerton to pick up a piano for our studio. It needs a tune, and a little bit of love, but we're happy to have it aboard. Even if it did break all of our backs. What studio is complete without a piano?

We're going to go make a new album now. Stay tuned for lotsa bits and bites until it's ready for you.

Cheers!
