 It would be an understatement to say we had a good time at our show last weekend. The show was sold out and the audience was incredible, supportive, appreciative, dancing, singing, cheering! We could not have asked for a better night. Thanks again to Images In Vogue for asking us to be a part of the show and to the wonderful folks at the Rickshaw Theatre for taking care of us.  Here are the final two songs we performed that evening, our latest song Goodbye Bad Times and a favorite of ours to close the show We Are Not Alone.  Please check them out! Goodbye Bad Times - Live at the Rickshaw We Are Not Alone - Live at the Rickshaw

More sunshine! Goodbye Bad Times

 We are excited to release our new single "Goodbye Bad Times" tomorrow! We've opted to release it as a double single with a radio edit just to give a little bit more. Running order on is: Goodbye Bad Times Danser tout le temps (Bonsoir Paris mix) Goodbye Bad Times (radio edits) We need to give a big shout out to our favorite conga player and secret soul singer Greg Hanberry who features dramatically in the climax of the final chorus! Greg has been rehearsing with us for the past several months in preparation of our show with Images In Vogue . As we developed the recording for Goodbye Bad Times he heard an outro rant (his work) - so I said just show me. He did a one off and we were all blown away! Makes the whole song burst open. Please check out his own band The Motibulator .   We will post links tomorrow when the song goes up on Apple Music and Spotify etc.  Where do you listen? 

Next single: Goodbye Bad Times

  We are excited to release our next single "goodbye Bad Times".  This is a continuation of our songwriting with Daniel Clement, and I think offers up one of our happiest choruses in ages!   Release date is set for June 7th, 2024,  just a day before we perform as the opening act for Images In Vogue here in Vancouver at the Rickshaw Theatre. Please check your preferred streaming service (or our bandcamp if you would care to support us more directly) next Friday! Listen today on soundcloud or bandcamp .

 We are almost ready to release our next single, this time the very upbeat Goodbye Bad Times. I think it's easy to hear the impact that Daniel Clement has made on the band's sound, as this one is about a quirky and fun as anything we've ever done: possible even more so!  Have a listen today on exclusively on Soundcloud , or come hear it live on June 8th at the Rickshaw when we perform it as part of our set opening for the legendary Images In Vogue! 

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 exc...

Writing: Goodbye Bad Times

 Isabelle, Daniel and I have been working on several new songs. The first to be finished is our latest collaboration "Goodbye Bad Times."  We performed it live for the very first time this past Thursday night at The Cascade Room and all were pleasantly surprised at how well it was received!  Once again we've asked our brilliant friend, the artist Robert Edmonds, to create a cover for the song and I'm intrigued to see what it inspires.  This idea was born of a late night jam Isabelle and I had after a band rehearsal night. We'd gone for a late dinner and returned to the studio a bit intoxicated and just started playing around with the instruments We sent Dan a voice memo sometime in the wee hours and forgot about it. In his own remarkable fashion Dan then showed up to our next rehearsal with a fully thought out guitar part with changes and chorus ideas. We were working on Danser tout le temps pretty hard at this point so we noted it but set it aside for a month or...
