Victorious Combinations

 Well we had a decently busy year, with our biggest show to date back in June opening for Images In Vogue and a mini tour to Manitoba in August, three shows in November and hopefully a lot more in 2025.  We've decided to complete writing and recording a batch of new material to combine with a few of our previously released singles to make a full length album. Vinyl is being considered this time, which would be a first for us, as we've really only pressed CDs of our first album The World Over and done very limited runs of CD-Rs for other releases just to promote.  The first of the new songs is now complete with a couple more started in the demo stages. Hopefully we'll have four songs done by New Year's Eve!  Stay tuned and I'll drop previews of the songs on this blog and our soundcloud page. Really want to make as great an album as we can and I'm feeling as though we'll have the material to make it memorable!

 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

 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? 

 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...

 We are very pleased to announce we will be opening for Images In Vogue on June 8th at the mighty  Rickshaw Theatre.  Images In Vogue were the first Vancouver band i ever saw. It might have even predated seeing The Police at the Coliseum, certainly the venue was different. Back in the early eighties, I was still in highschool, but Images In Vogue has a song that was on the radio and even on late night video shows. I don't remember if I saw their stuff on Much Music.  The cool news was this synth band was playing an all ages place call the Soft Rock Cafe. It was a curious venue, that if memory serves me right, was a bakery in the front and then in behind the counter there was a big room with a small stage in the back. I'd love to see pictures again if anyone has any.  The night was really fun, I'm sure it was Dan, Callan and I, and we drove into Vancouver from White Rock. The place was busy when we got there and I recall seeing a whole bunch of Sequential Circuit...
