More songs, more rehearsing, house concerts

 We have two new songs we are finishing off simultaneously. I've mentioned Goodbye Bad Times already but the second song has a working title of Space and Time. Unlike the optimistic hooks of Goodbye Bad Times, Space and Time is an apologetically romantic song. We are opting for a very restrained sound as well, acoustic guitar and piano with Isabelle's voice 

Space is Time is a song born of a story. The three of us were inspired by world events and started creating a tale of a forgotten woman, ignored by her husband, potentially a powerful oligarch, or political man. The woman is to be removed from the situation by a hitman. The hitch of course is the hitman falls in love with his target and must resolve his own internal crisis. It's not something we've done before but I am hopeful we can get an animated video to accompany this song. It'd make a nice short movie!

We are rehearsing solidly for our upcoming show at the Rickshaw, opening for Images in Vogue. I'm excited to say we shall have Greg Hanberry performing with us on congas and adding his vocal magic. 

Lastly we have been looking into another few house concerts this coming summer. August in Manitoba is the goal. Will investigate potential shows in between the provinces. 

I think we all like the last version of Goodbye Bad Times so I reckon we will have it out by the time we play on June 8th. Please stay tuned!
