we make love

We appear on IndieCan Radio episode 111 this week, along with Spiral Beach, Elliott Brood and 54 40 (yes, apparently they’re still around!).

The Craft Economy’s Andrew and Konstantine were just interviewed on AnteRockstar. Here’s the video, which includes a live version of “The Lives of Captured Scientists”.

It’s been a long time since I’ve visited Montréal and going for Pop Mtl reminded me how much I love the city. I practiced my broken French- douze années d’immersion francais et j’oublie presque tous. It was funny and pathetic.

I loved seeing campaign posters charred on rue Saint Laurent and pictures of politicians drawn with devil horns. I’d like to think it was a political move on the part of Montréalers but it looked more like a we’re drunk and it’s five in the morning so let’s destroy stuff situation.

When we were loading out after playing the Jupiter, I was stopped on the street by an older man who asked me why food starts to suck when you go across “the border” from Quebec to Ontario. I had nuthin’ for him. But a friend of mine told him she thinks it’s because people put more thought into baking or something.

On the way back to Toronto, Maki took pictures of the sky (I dunno- ask her). At a rest stop just east of Kingston, we piled out to gas up etc.- along with at least ten other bands driving back to T.O. I recognized Cameron from The Disraelis but that was it. However, musicians all look the same on Sunday. Tired and wearing muted colours with dark sunglasses. And, of course, I was no exception.

HEY! Our new EP is on iTunes and eMusic! DRM FREE!

Our new CD is beautiful and wonderful to look at and we’re amazed how well it turned out. Stay tuned for news of our CD release party, and how to order a real live copy!

This is painful to watch.

Jake sent this to me and I have to post it. This is amazing on so many levels.

Wicked. We are getting ready in this here hotel room before our show. Linda and Konstantine are elsewhere becoming beautiful and we are eating chips and drinking beer and watching hockey in French. This is going
to be an awesome show. We can’t wait.

What a cool weekend. Despite the remnants of hurricane Ike ripping through Toronto just as we took the stage on Sunday night, it was an awesome show. And our first show with Jake on bass. And our first show with Andrew’s daughter Sadie there to see. So all in all, it was a super good time. Thanks to everybody at the Queen Street Art Crawl for putting it on.

Okay. And we finally got the E.P. mixes finished, and the entire thing mastered last night! So now we just have to find a cheap producer of CDs, and get them pressed. We’re going to be releasing a special, limited run, Pop Montreal only CD for the Pop Montreal show on the 4th. We’ll likely have the CDs pressed and ready for release in late October, so stay tuned for a CD release party show then.
