A Change of Seasons

Hi all,

We hope you had a great summer and are getting ready for the fall.
Cool crisp mornings and evenings are great with some sunny daylight filling the void.

Studio

We decided the final cut for one of our new songs isn't what we wanted so we'll be heading back to Phase One Studio to do it over.
Once we have it completed, we will be releasing a new EP to iTunes.

Upcoming 

We have 2 shows coming up in October and both will have a Halloween theme.

The first on will be on Friday, October  25th at All Stars in Brampton.

*********

Then, the next night, Saturday October 26th we will be playing at a 2 day Cancer Fundraiser for
Promoter Leigh Wilson-Lafantaisie who has been diagnosed with Ductile Carcinoma of the Left Breast.

It's a 2 day fundraising event to help Leigh with the costs of the radiation treatments she is needing. Unfortunately, OHIP will only cover 70% of these costs. Leigh has approx 15 more weeks of treatment to go through which will cost her $372.97 per week out of pocket. That is a grand total of $5594.55! OUR GOAL IS $6000.00

The show is at The Brawley Restaurant and Lounge in Etobicoke. We are playing the second night and it's an early one with our set starting at 6pm and they are asking for a minimum $5 donation at the door.

Thanks for your support and we hope to see you soon.

Mojo Radio, Toronto Roller Derby and more

The show we announced last week for the Toronto Roller Derby has been rescheduled.
As a result, we are unable to make the new date so we will not be performing at the benefit show for the Toronto Roller Derby. Please visit Toronto Roller Derby for info.

Our apologies to all. 

We had an awesome time Sunday night on "My Jaded Remedy" with DJ Crystal Myth.
The show was scheduled from 7-10pm but we had so much to say, we were on the air until 11:30.
Thanks again to Crystal and Mojo Radio. Let's do it again.

Now we're into pre-production with David Barrett for our studio visit next week.
We'll be heading back to Toronto's renowned Phase One Studio.
I think we're still deciding on how many songs to include on our next release but we hope to release our second EP before the end of the year. 

Turn it up and talk to you soon.

Again, with producer David Barrett (http://www.noisytrade.com/) and engineer Jeff Pelletier in the control room, they managed to complete 2 new songs.
Tracking for the songs was done on January 13 and then, after having a bit of time to contemplate, they returned on January 27 to do the final mixing.

A big thanks to the New Driven folks, Sherry and Steve, as well as the Mojo Radio crew, Crystal and Wes.

January also found the band playing at Schuey's Bar and Grill in Toronto for Carla's 50th birthday bash.

Upcoming Show

We'll be playing at Schuey's Bar & Grill in Etobicoke on January 5th.

Studio

We'll be back at Phase One Studio in January to record a couple new tunes.
We should have something out by the end of the month.

Radio

2012 was a good year for us on Indie Radio. The folks at New Driven have been having their own success and we've gained some great exposure on their show.
Some of the stations that carry New Driven have also put us into their regular rotation.

Thank you to all our fans and friends for making 2012 our best year yet.
