Whirlwind The recording of the full length after the weather album is going smoothly. we're about 80% done the recording and have gotten a bit into mixing... it sounds live. the songs are shaping up to be exactly how i imagine them, for better or worse. We played some shows in the past little while, testing out some of the new material... and once the tracks come out we're going to have a little release party/mini-tour on the 401. hope to see some familliar faces!

The nada yoga experiment has been very interesting, i have gotten a lot of interesting reactions to some of the different types of music posted here... the ultimate goal was to write write write until I like enough of my own stuff to create a bit of an album. So this marks the point where I have some interesting recordings and ideas and I am going to work this summer with Kent to put together the next album.

Two albums in one summer? Exciting shit.  ¶  0 Comments

  I know, i know... The music is rolling out. Thanks to jenny "barbadoface" mahon for singing this new song with me, lifespan like a day. Get ready for her beautiful voice, and if you like it... head over to her ex-band's website at http://www.adanoise.com to download a full album of her singing on top of her heavy rock band (my fav tracks are gate 9 and port severn :). ps. its free.

Other news... tonight, After the Weather is trying something new. We're gonna set up all of our recording gear on a stage at Theatre Ste. Catherine in Montreal, and try to record an album live in front of an audience. Only time will tell how it goes, but hopefully we get some decent tracks out of it. I'll put some up here for sure. We're also recording some video, so if we miraculously murder every song, we might end up with a little amateur DVD to go with the demo.

The coloured lights have also been jamming together with a new lineup... we haven't quite found the chemistry yet and things are going pretty slow... everyone wants to take things in a different direction so nothing's coming together yet... but the song ideas and potential are there to rebuild it. Hopefully we can figure out how to make it work. I have been experimenting with wiring numerous kicker amps in series to build wild guitar tones, so I would love to do it on a stage soon. I'll keep you posted, noble blog-reader.  ¶  2 Comments

  listen to 'em go Whooo. New years eve rocked, you yourselves and mechatama brought the flavour, and after the weather held it down for the hometown crowd. TCL might be re-forming, i'll keep you posted. Montreal Heart is a beautiful reunion of my studio and my bedroom, with a mix of flavour from my brand new tabla. Who thought a drum could be so complex? Fun to learn though, fun to learn. Gab and Kent are singing on it too. Until next time, enjoy the fucking cold.

Edit: Hey! Thanks to the guys at Two Guys One Show for world premiering this song on the air on CHRW in London, Ontario. Check their site out and eventually they should post the show from Jan 11th, 2009!  ¶  0 Comments
