Where Are You?

Where Are You?


Good afternoon,

Well I was hoping to have a different song ready to upload this week, but I haven't been able to finish off either Bohemian Athenian or the final version of Please and we're quite a ways off on the other two songs still. (They're written just not recorded yet). So I've posted the almost completed version of Where Are You?. For those of you that have been following along, Yes this is the same song I put up back in November, so it's not really a debut, but rather a hint of things to come. As things currently stand I believe that Where Are You? shall be track four on the Disagreements ep, right before Please. Without that context it might seems rather downbeat compared to our other songs, however, in the flow it is a rather dramatic song and kind of makes sense with the other four songs.

We've both been really busy these past few weeks and finding time to record the parts has been a bit challenging. Isabelle's been creating her summer line, and I've been recording the Sex With Strangers follow up album as well as other projects. The clothes are looking really good and the SWS songs are becoming really quite incredible. I think their full length is going to shock people: it's quite surprising and very very cool. We're talking about doing a few club mixes for it as well, but we're going to have to see if time permits.

The band is almost ready to perform again and we'll be learning the new songs this week too; it's going to a lot of fun to see how we pull off the songs with the new line up. Hopefully we can book a show in town before we head off to England. Speaking of which, anyone got a good room we should play in the UK? We're open to recommendations, so let up know. Just the two of us on this time out, we'll be doing acoustic versions, and then hopefully if interest develops we'll bring the whole band over for the next one!

That's it for now, gotta get back to work if we want to finish this ep off by the end of the month! Thanks for reading, hope you're well. Salut!

We are pleased to announce that we will be the special guests at the next Shadowline night at the Waldorf Hotel here in Vancouver.   Tied in with Vancouver Fashion week this is a special showcase on November 22nd.  Also in keeping with the Goth vibe of the night Combine is performing at Midnight.  A special cover song is being prepared in the spirit of the evening. Also we have just signed on to appear at the Indie Pop Vancouver night, Dec 7th at the B-Ex on Kingsway (British Ex-Serviceman's Association).   Combine is headlining the night but we are very excited to be sharing the bill with The Population Drops , a band that I've been recording over the summer and am really impressed with!  The Rain and the Sidewalk is slated to open the night.  We are hoping to make it into an early Xmas party. Still working on a Portland show, if anyone reading this has a good lead please let us know! Thanks for reading, we'll have another new video soon.  The multitalented Stefan

New Song: Brotherhood

-
Brotherhood is a song that I started writing in response to a very dear friend taking his own life back in 2012.  Our friend Todd Simko , who I'd played in Pure with back in the nineties, and who later performed with Combine the Victorious for several shows in 2007 and 2008, left us in the spring of 2012.  His death created a disturbing wake of emotions that eventually found their way into this song. Back in January or February of 2013 I remember starting the core idea one afternoon and the song took shape quite rapidly.  The lyrics are personal but I tried to keep them open to interpretation rather than literal; it's been a sad realization that this kind of incident isn't as rare as it may seem.   The truth is all four of us: Juice, Misty, Isabelle and I were heavily affected by Todd's death, and it's been many months of processing.  We recorded this version back in the summer, on a beautiful day in Vancouver full of sunshine and laughs.  Misty is playing the
