New EP and a stag and doe

We are playing our dear friends Laura and Brian's Stag and Doe this Friday @ The Irish centre in Brampton. There will be booze and plently of covers. The new full length record is still being worked on. However, we do have a new EP ready of B-sides and covers called Bees & Seas, appropriately (and dumbly) enough. Most of the songs we record that don't end up on the LPs show up on EPs that same year. When that doesn't happen the songs truly become B-sides; they are too old to go on either an LP or EP because they seem so far removed from how we feel currently as a band. The songs become orphans. Nobody wants them. So this new EP solves the problem. Here's the deets:

The Big City Nights Band - Bees & Seas EP - LG29

01 Make Up Your Mind (a catchy but truly idiotic song that may get the full-band treatment soon)
02 Ol' Sour Tooth (Bistro b-side. It drags but has a certain 50s charm - I hope. Ryan's voice sounds great on this one.)
03 Feel It (a really idiotic song. It kind of sounds like that band Swirl 360. They sucked.)
04 Wild Hope (a little too lightweight but some fun guitar work. Recorded right after Champions.)
05 Kerosine Shuffle (Dumb and fun.)
06 Family Affair (James on the chorus vocals and keyboards.)
07 What To Do (A Gob song. I always really liked it.)
08 Encyclopedia Man (A listenable forty seconds of coffeehouse plucking.)
09 Cold Is Coming (Different version than on Bistro. It's got some brio.)
10 How To Wave At People (The last section of a really old song (2005) that sucked, but the ending is OK.)
11 Missing The Ball (Again 2005. A very primitive (read: bad) recording. Good chorus. Lotta guitar wank.)
12 The Littlest Hobo (Great song. I didn't do it justice but how could I?)
13 Stuck In Love (A gospel tune. The "kick drum" is me thumping my electric guitar. It was done for a concept album I wanted to do in early 2007 called A Steamroller Named Desire. Thankfully I came to my senses. Steamroller is now one of my fav albums of ours, and this song got shit-canned. Some good yelling at the end though.)
14 For Bad Arteries (I don't remember how or when or under what circumstances I recorded this song. It's kinda fuckin' creepy. I sound drunk.)
15 I'm Home (One of the first recordings I ever did. Ever. The bottom of the valley as far as the 2005 break-up recordings go. Good ending tune though.)

   Hope y'all dig it. It'll be up on bandcamp for a very limited time later in the week, and then available on CD only by request. We won't be bringing copies to shows.
