Two Outta Three Ain't Bad
Hey folks,
Just wanted to let you know that we've finally started to get some ink for the record. The music industry is a pretty relentless grind and it's fairly unforgiving to those trying to make it. It's even crueller to those who do make it. Constant scrutiny, criticism and questioning. Makes you wonder why we aren't all rock stars, doesn't it?
That said, there are always kind people, allies and those who just love music. A few of those folks wrote some literature on the band recently.
The first is a great piece by a fellow named Adam Grant at the Echo in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. It's just like a Rolling Stone interview but it's not in Rolling Stone; intelligent questions, informed opinions and a point to the piece.

The second piece is a disc review from a paper in Edmonton. Why Edmonton? We have no idea. We're bigger out west, I suppose. The first two stations to play us were in the Yukon and we considered an immediate tour until we discovered it was 5200 km. We may have to wait a big longer on that one. Regardless, this review has some unusual new insight into the way the band works. Read it here. http://www.vueweekly.com/article.php?id=9464
The third is a critique from Bryan Borzykowski who was freelancing for NOW. I think it's fair to say that he didn't like our music. Of course it's also fair to say that we didn't like his writing. However we wish him well in what is certain to be a burgeoning career as a Sears copy writer. Read his review here. http://www.nowtoronto.com/music/discs.cfm?content=164314&archive=27,49,2008
