Yes, it's true. For some strange reason, I've neglected this blog horribly, but stumbled across it in my "favorites" and I've been reading it at work for like, an hour now. God, I feel so old now. The majority of these posts seem so optimistic, and full of love towards people I hardly even know anymore. How time flies, and friends change.
I'm still playing music, and The Champion Heartache is currently mixing our second album which might see a release by early spring. At one point we were ready to press it on vinyl. Now we'll be lucky if it's available on casette. Times are tough financially, but our good friend Billy Blasko (who appears far too many times in previous postson this blog) is at the wheel once again, helping to mix and finish this record at a really great price.
There's nothing else really huge to talk about right now. Since my last post however, I've married Karlie, we bought a house, I have a home recording setup, and she owns a horse. Too funny. Last night was my first night back in a bar hosting an open stage at The Bittmore in Courtice. It was an awesome turnout and great to see so many familiar faces again. I haven't been playing much live, nor has the band. That picture up there is the last gig I played, just after Christmas. It was at Jay and Kerri King's garage, and featured Sunbear, Jonas Bonetta, and a surprise appearance from Blue Rodeo's Greg Kellor. Favorite show of the year, no joke.
Ok, I'm done for now. Just random typing and not much to say other than I hope everyone is doing well, and having a Happy New Year so far.
Dates to mention:
March 29 - SPOON with Deerhunter @ The Sound Academy
June 19 - Pavement, Broken Social Scene and Band of Horses @ Olympic Island
