More Music Than We Know What To Do With....plus le fall, y'all.

Well well well,....seems like its that time of the year again.

I know this aura of what's to come all too well. The fall is well known as the most sobering of seasons for all writers. There's something about it. It's a highly creative season, and usually represents the most prolific songwriting periods for most musicians. Take a look out for them. You can see them at practically every Starbucks and Second Cup patio out there. Sometimes they have acoustic guitars with them, but they all will most certainly have a pad of paper. They'll be writing down their personal ditties about lost love and romantic tragedy, and they will all most certainly be wearing the latest fashions from Urban Outfitters or whatever other hip store du jour, aspiring to join the ranks of dinks like Raine and Edwin. I'm half joshing. The serious reality of this though is the simple fact that fall actually does bring out some special quality in terms of songwriting. It's nice. It's also a great time to get acquainted with a book you've been putting off of reading, or equally getting yourself in the know with a good record or two.

I think that I can say without a doubt that all four of us are pretty stoked at this point about the initial reaction to our album, "One Track Mind", which was released about a month and change ago. We have the release in Ottawa on October 9th with two amazing ass bands, Les Pugilists and The Heelwalkers, both of whom we were fans of long before. We're also introducing the record to Montreal audiences the day before, October 8th, with The Heelwalkers and Montreal's Navajo Code Talkers. The record has also been charting high on CKCU for the last month, and there seems to be some genuine buzz.

S.Palmer is away on the east coast, and the band has all concluded that our daily email exchanges have all but dissipated. It seems like Steve has been the one to initiate them. He'll be back soon enough.

Enjoying the fall....sigh.
