Here is my semi-monthly blog post for July about my life in music for all those interested…
To start things off I must say I have been extremely busy with The Pickups. The story goes that Sarah is about to leave in August for Halifax to study journalism for a year. As a somewhat triumphant send off are having our “Last Show ‘Till Christmas” (when she’ll be back on break) at Sneaky Dee’s on July 12th (this Thursday). We have also been intensely practicing for a studio session booked with Don Kerr to record five new tunes to be released as an EP sometime in the near future. I am very excited about both the new songs and being able to record them with Don!
In between all that craziness I have also been starting work on my “bedroom project” (i.e. solo project ) called Pirates, Ninjas, Zombies! I have been successfully collaborating on some material with the ever-so-talented-agreeable-and-ego-free DJ Ordinateur. I have one song almost complete and ready for online consumption. I expect you’ll here more in August from me on this. My goal, as lofty as it will be, is to release some sort of EP this year. More about this later.
Finally, I still continue to keep the fires warm in the homestead with Emily Weedon & Delta at the Cameron House every Wednesday 10pm and beyond, rain or shine or crazy people walking around Queen Street naked!
