Our Indyish Monthly Mess remains messy, and is especially tricksy when we convert a non-venue into a venue for one night, but it always seems to manage a magic, diversity and glow that I love in it’s every manifestation.
This month, Feb 29 2008, we returned to the private loft Studio 300 for some class, [...]
The Demaes are playing right now, after showing their new video for the first time (hopefully it will find it’s way on here soon, it’s ADORABLE!). Oh man, this band is really fun. This blog post is going to be similar to the stream-of-consciousness (and no spell check) of the Fringe/Osheaga days, so enjoy.

Last night’s show at L’Escogriffe was really fun, even though not that many people showed up. We played what we think was our best set yet. We’ve been experimenting with a few new instrument setups, and we think that bass, guitar and drums with no kick drum is starting to work for us.
It was also [...]

This is a multiple-part post on getting your CD out of your living room. Part One is about radio airplay. Part Two will be about getting reviewed and sending your CD to record labels. Part Three might be about distribution if we have some by then.
I thought of blogging this a while ago, but wasn’t [...]
A few things to report…We submitted a track for a compilation cd just last week and now it’s available on the net. Cabinet Pin is a non-label that puts out a CD of songs made on the 20th day of each month. The comps are distributed to everyone who contributes a track and posted to [...]
