Lonnnng Weekend

Recovering from an unusual amount of debauchery committed this past weekend. I can't believe how much we got done considering the alcohol abuse. I'm not bragging. It was stupid. I'll probably be hungover until April. In other news, the record's well on it's way to being finished, I'd say it's 85% completed.
About fourteen songs are finished and just need better mixes. There's not much tracking left to do. If you're interested, you can hear a bunch of rough mixes here: http://soundcloud.com/bicycle-man
Most of the songs on that page will be on the upcoming record, which is still called Exile On Queen St.
Soon enough, my friends, soon enough.
Although this would sound odd coming from any other band, this will very likely be our only full-length record this year. There will be an EP of b-sides (including the legendary cuts "Rookie Organ Nite @ The Leaf Game" and "Overhead Mic Falls On James"), but I don't think another full-length this year. 2010 kinda burnt us out, and I have a shitload of other projects this year (The Flower City 3, GIANTS, and Sleep For The Nightlife).

I've been sleeping through the daylight.
I miss those guys.
I miss a lot of things.
Remember that album title All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone?
Gorgeous. I never got around to listening to it though.

I'm tired.

Brampton Guardian interview/story on the FC3

My other band with Russell got a nod in our hometown paper. It feels good. That article is here: http://www.bramptonguardian.com/what's%20on/article/959915--band-has-brampton-in-mind

 Serious recording for Exile On Queen St all weekend, starting tomorrow.

 That's the news, lose yer blues.

Some upcoming shows:

February 24 @ Tiger Bar, Toronto
March 12 @ Tracks, Brampton
April 30 @ The Gladstone Hotel, Toronto

Five songs recorded for the new record which will definitely be called Exile On Main St. We have a house all to ourselves a few weekends from now and will be taking full advantage of it. I expect the record to be finished by the end of April. It might be a double album.

 That's the news, lose yer blues.

The Flower City 3

Russell and I wrote and recorded an album about Brampton. It took us a year to make. You can download it here

Huzzah!

Recorded drums yesterday for four new songs from the upcoming record which will either be called Exile On Queen St or Mercy Among The Children. I'm leaning toward the former.

Did a video the other day for "Lasagna Sunrise", here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08uNk9cx7Hg

Upcoming shows

I recorded a new song today with my good friend Mark from Crop Failure. We co-wrote it and both wrote our own lyrics. It's really weird and cool and I dig it. Kind of a dirge. Anyway, it'll be on the new record. I finished another separate tune for it today, so progress is being made. Incidentally, Mark plays in another band called Cessna, whom GIANTS should be doing some shows with in the coming months. I'm going to be doing a solo set opening (NOT me and an acoustic guitar, I'll be playing electric and singing along to backing tracks on my iPod...diggit) for Crop Failure @ a loft called The Animal House in Montreal February 12th. I'm excited.

Here's all the upcoming shows:

February 5 The Big City Nights Band @ The Youth Action Centre, Welland
February 12 The Big City Nights (solo set) @ The Animal House, Montreal
February 24 The Big City Nights Band @ Tiger Bar, Toronto 



That's the news. Lose yer blues.
