fuck that, no moustache

our excellent east van team assembled a few weeks ago for an epic shoot. we’re going to wring as many songs out of the footage as we can. here is the first one, more soon! i can’t believe this is my life. yo ho

limping into the future

a little heads up folks. we are currently preparing a WEBSITE REVAMP. so at some point in the next month or so we will be offline for a tiny bit and then back with a CONTEMPORARY WEBSITE. what does it mean?????? RESPONSIVENESS. DOWNLOADABLES. TWIN KITTENS. get excited.

craigslist cantata coming at ya

ooo we’ve been busy down on the Island Of Granville. previews start tomorrow, and opening night is next wednesday. get your tickets at the arts club website. i have bowed out of this run, and the lovely marguerite witvoet is being me while also being herself. quite fantastic. plus diva josh epstein joins the seasoned team. still more new songs, while retaining all of the old happy/sad feelings!

the fits the fist

will we ever stop making records? no! the fits the fist

then there’s this picture

PETER PANTIES. HERE NOW.

this is it, this is the day! peter panties is out in the world! you can download it here at bandcamp or buy the WHITE VINYL in person at a show. far away people, i will have a limited number of vinyl available online here later this week. and the reviews have started. look! radio free canuckistan! and four stars in the star!

i’m a little overexcited. toronto people, see you tonight at the music gallery. vancouver people, see you april 6th at the wise hall. must go pace around.

peter panties preview

something about this album really lends itself to alliteration. just put up two songs from the record at CBCR3.

love hugs

happy almost new year peoples! i hope it’s all going swimmingly out there. i’m ready to step into the new year, and not just because a new season of Girls is starting. i’m gearing up for a toronto run of the Craigslist Cantata, and i have a regular old veda hille show there too: feb 25 at the music gallery. when was the last vh toronto show? 2008 or something crazy like that? come on out, it might be another 4 years. also, vancouver shows in april: peter panties release show on the 6th at the wise, and a vh/ivan coyote show at the waldorf on the 9th. and then Craigslist starts up at the arts club revue again. it never stops!

and hey, our vancouver pad is still available for sublet in february if you want a grey month in a lovely city. lemme know. in the meantime, love hugs. xv

the question

revving up the cantata

well gang, i have to say that rehearsals for the return of the Craigslist Cantata are going swimmingly. laughing my head off and singing my guts out, etc. first show this monday. all dates listed here. including whitehorse! at last i return to whitehorse.

in other news, we had a little computer glitch here at Hille Enterprises and i just found out this morning that there was a huge backlog of cd orders. i have dispatched them, but apologies to all those who sent in orders at the beginning of september. no doubt you feel well acquainted with the void.

and lastly, it seems my star has finally risen: i am the subject of a Trivial Pursuits question. i am speechless, grateful, and proudly trivial. see you on games night.
