Wanted to thank everyone who made it out to the show!

It really means a lot to have people come out and support you like that … especially with all the prep the artists put into their sets.  I have to say … Emily and Angus were amazing … !!!

The Staircase Theatre was a wicked venue to hold the show.  We wanted to have a smaller space and we got out a great group of friends.  I would recommend it highly … just make sure you run a sound check well before the show (we had a bit of a problem that we had to work through … sigh).

The set was a real mixed bag of old and brand spanking new songs …

Nothing Left to Say
Never Look Back
Home
Everyone’s a Fascist
Contrived
The Graduate
Rise
Hold On
Lack of Colour (Death Cab cover)
The Man Who Is Greater Than
Last One Standing
Sad Song

It was pretty wild playing a couple tracks that were weeks old along side some that … well … have been around the block a few hundred times.  What’s wild is the song that we actually played the best was “Sad Song” … one that is only a couple weeks old.  I’m hoping to get the video posted for that one shortly.

Our sights have been set on a show to be held in Kitchener in a couple months time … I won’t give away too many details just yet!

We’re finally at the point where we’re ready to play real shows … if you have a band or know of a band that would be interested in playing/sharing shows … drop me a line.

We wound up taking almost three years off because it kind of doesn’t make sense playing shows without a CD or website.  Now that we finally have both … I guess no excuses. 

On a side note … if you haven’t heard the new Wintersleep album … it’s magical.

Planning for the first show is well on it’s way … we have two great opening acts, and it will be held at the Staircase Theatre.

I think you’ll really enjoy Emily McCullogh and Angus Fraser (Tenth of May) … they’ll both been planning sets for all of the fine people that show up. 

Emily will be playing keys and performing some of her original material … if you want to have a listen to her stuff … check her myspace.  I was really impressed listening to her stuff … we think you’ll enjoy it.

Our other act, Angus is probably one of my favorite artist.  Brilliant song writer that plays with such haunting emotion … we probably should be opening for him, but we’re not only cause it’s our CD release show.  I think you should have a listen right now actually … mayten.net.

So if you haven’t responded on the event page … what better time than now?  The show is limited seating to 65 people … thought it would be fitting for an acoustic show.

So we’ve been gearing up to play shows … real shows, and we’ve included a new torso to the group.  For those of you that saw the gig in Oakville a few days back … you witnessed a young beat-boxer join us for our last song for a little improv …

Since then, Andrew James Grey has been rehearshing with us for almost two months.  His debut will be at the CD release show on May 25th in Hamilton.  Andrew plays keys/synth and is a MAD PHAT beat boxer … any song can benefit from a) a beat boxer or b) a bongo solo.

But to be honest … Andrew wasn’t our first choice … he was a close second to this guy.
