So since the last show, we’ve been taking a bit of a break … Our Hamilton show was fun, but took a lot out of us … I sound like I’m 70 years old.

Right now we’re working on a couple things … We’re sending out our music to college radio stations all across this fine country, and we’re in the midst of preparing a new set for our upcoming Kitchener show.  We may also be playing a couple shows with friend of the band, Emma Acott … we’ll keep you posted on that.

I don’t know if it’s because things have been pretty stressful cause I’ve been writting a ton of new material.  We’ve slotted September to start working on our next album “White Rabbits” … Lee and I are pretty excited about this one, because we’ve learned a lot working on “Love, Lies and Fireflies”.  With this CD you’ll hear some of the new songs we’ve been featuring at past live shows.  Songs that really capture where that band is at right now … more upbeat with a dash of emo … sigh.  ALSO we’ll be working with former bandmate Brad Weber again, and cause of that … it’s sure to win a Juno.  Brad will be recording/producing this badboy for your listening pleasure.

So yeah, I’m going to try not and make this blog into Cheese-fest 2008 … but I want to thank everyone who has supported us through the purchase of our debut official release, “Love, Lies & Fireflies”.

It’s pretty nerve racking to make something like this and hope that some how people are going to buy enough to break even.  I feel pretty overwhelmed that so many friends of the group support us like they do.  Through buying the CD or showing up to the show .. it’s pretty cool, cause I understand how busy things can be.  Don’t forget that with every CD or digital download purchased … we’ll be donating 20% of profits to the Canadian Diabetes Association.  So even if you don’t like our music, at least buy it cause I have diabetes!

Apparently, you can even buy our songs as a ring-tone … which is totally mental.  I don’t know how, but you can … If I’m ever hanging out with one of you and your phone goes off to “Last One Standing” … I tell you, that would be frig’n amazing.  We even donating 20% of our lucrative ring tone profits … !!!  Defending Otis is even making the purchase of ring-tones into a kind act that helps humanity …

We had our last show taped for some live footage … unfortunately we had some technical issues so I’m pretty sure that only a couple songs will be up for viewing.

We’ve also been looking out for indie film makers to help us with some creative images … it would be awesome to have some low budget videos up for viewing.  If you know of anyone interested, let us know!
