Busy boy

Been busy as of late which explains the tardiness of this post...sorry by's (gang, if you aren't from newfoundland)

Had friends and family visiting this weekend which is always nice, A lot of over indulgence to say the least so this Sunday night has been devoted to relaxing and some practicing,

This weekend in Toronto was Canadian music week, Which meant a tonne of live music in the city. I checked out Plants and Animals, The Acorn, Danko Jones and Hey Rosetta!

None of the bands were terrible at all and i enjoyed myself both nights out, which is rare for me and live music in bars! The Acorn really had some great stuff going on, they went the spectrum of super sparse to dense as hell often in the same tune, lovely harmonies and a quasi percussionist who also sang and played ukulele. What more could you want, Also! in the middle of the song, two people in the band made out for an entire verse, Do what you have to do to get noticed I guess. Regardless they were probably my favorite band coming out of the weekend.

The friends i had in visiting were part of the group Hey Rosetta!, A band from newfoundland who is starting to get some serious recognition. They had some new tunes that I really enjoyed. Good times, and the finest house guests you could ask for.


Practicing lately has been in huge spurts and then days of nothing, I really hate it when i get into these ruts...We will see if this improves by the end of the week.

Ill leave you with a clip of The Acorn
