Oh my oh my.... October 30th 2010 brought about some evil Halloween fall out.
Mike was away,... and the cats they played. Troy fired up the MircoKorg and some electronica drum tracks on his Mac, and away he went.
Steve ran his bass through the overdrive loop and into his amp, running it at close to '11'.
Out came a set of half-written lyrics and one song was born, then another, and another one after that.
They all exist as ".WAV" files.
Will they ever see the light of a live show? We'll see November 20th, 2010.
The boys were heard to say "that was too much fun to be legal" afterward - 3 and a half hours of electronica fun afterward!
Oh, yeah,... the October presentation (world premier as-it-were) of 4 new songs (possibly the beginning of the Midget Opera) went quite well.
more to come on the new song cycles soon.

And you thought they were gone...
Well, you were wrong. A lot has happened since the last post (pardon the pun). The winter of 2009-2010 passed without as many shows as in previous years. There were a number of reasons for this, including fewer venues in action, band member illnesses and 'previous commitments'.
Possibly the most exciting reason of them all are the ongoing rumours of a CD themed after the great zombie wars. Now, if the rumour is true, then in the mid-near future there will be a storied CD involving zombies, the re-incarnation of very evil doers, as well as some demented rabbits and more. Those who've seen the band in action will have heard these songs already - BUT not in the form that will be on the CD.
There were a few shows, including some of the best live shows ever at the Central last winter (with Arcade Files and others as a supporting acts).
Recent sightings include a blurb on the October 15th edition of the Fernie Small Town Social blog (smalltownsocial.wordpress.com), as well as sightings of Steve and Troy entering 'The Space' and word around town of new songs about, well about more weird and alternative topics. Posters hint at a new set of songs to be unveiled at the October 24th Spoken Word event in Fernie. Maybe even a glimpse of the new line up?
