Hi everyone!

 Highlights include the rollicking "Minimansions" and the tearful "Baskets".
 Hope ya dig.

 Last night's show was the best we've played in a long time. It felt great. Thanks to everyone who came and dug it, or hated it but still applauded politely.

Fidelity Friends, GIANTS, and BCN news

Two of my buddies (and occasional members of The Big City Nights Band) Brent and Spencer have a new band called Fidelity Friends and their new record titled Twenty-Fifth and Nowhere is available for free download right here: http://fidelityfriends.bandcamp.com/
    Highlights include the Rusty-esque "Intentional Accident", the muscular and insane "Cock Fight", and the country-ish strummer "Those Empty Days". The whole thing is great though and you should get it immediately. I mean it. Go do it now. I co-sang "Sunshine Pie", and "Party Riff" is part of GIANTS' live set.
    Speaking of GIANTS, we're playing a show with Crop Failure, CESSNA, and some other band this Friday at Mark's house in Hamilton. I don't know the address though so I suppose it's pointless to tell you this. For show listings for all of my bands as well as a handy guide to all LGRC releases, go here: http://www.littleghostrecordingco.blogspot.com/
    I wrote nine new songs today and we're making a new record the weekend of June 3rd, either up north at a friends' cottage or in Brampton. We'll have to wait and see. This one will be a mathier, rockier, more punishing affair than anything we've done before, and should hopefully get us onto radio stations nationwide, or at least a few shows here and there. The working title for this one is Hockey Tits. Yeah I know.
 That's the news for now. You're coming to see us play this Saturday night at the Silver Dollar right? RIGHT!? Here's the facebook event page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=224428200904589

 Bye for now

Mercy Among The Children

The new record is done and you can download it for free right here: http://thebigcitynightsband.bandcamp.com/album/mercy-among-the-children

16 songs in under 30 mins, 3 covers (The Jiants, Longwave, and The Rolling Stones). No real drums at all, lots of book hitting and door slamming, though. Summertime music.

Played a cool show @ The Gladstone last night (forgot to mention that one), but none booked for the moment. Cheers.
