Good morning! Three more sleeps until we hit the road, jack! We return to Montreal next Thursday in time to play this show, so mark it in your calendars, OK? The Facebook event is here and listen to CKUT (90.3FM) to catch the radio ad voiced by one Jordan Arsenault. *** I love the photos [...]

Check out this bit of magic discovered over on Tessa’s blog (she’s co-founder of Fixture Records). It’s Mitz‘s new band Mavo recording at the Bottle Garden, a recording space I assume belongs to the Freelove Fenner folks. I love this sort-of making of documentation- all in one take too! Nice camerawork, Conor. Nice sounds, Mitz! [...]

Recording is lovely, grueling, magickal, etcetera, etcetera…in the band-saturated Montreal, and other places, I am sure there are many folks who would agree! We’re almost finished and that is a thrilling and bitter-sweet thought. Yesterday we recorded more vocals and sipped small drams of whiskey and loads of water to open up and lubricate our [...]
