big ups to everyone who worked on Happy Birthday Teenage City and Trampoline Hall last weekend. i feel like i’ve been trampled by glamourous rhinos. so. much. fun. thanks all!
now gearing up for peter panties, opening thursday. rock it out.
it’s on the bottom of the music page! because i can’t figure out how to put it at the top. i’ll get my people on that, but in the meantime, feel free to put it in your cart. 
i am pleased to say that i have young saint marie back from the printer and i am free to release it to the world! tonight at club push will be a surprise launch party, as well as a great birthday celebration for the city of vancouver. and on monday i’ll have that sucker up on this site for sale. onward!

i’ve been having great rehearsals with the bank dogs for the upcoming peter panties show at the push festival. it’s awesome being in a band with teenagers when you’re a 40 year old mom. i can still rock it. as long as i’m sitting down. you might want to get your tickets for that show soon, btw. at the link previous. and go see a bunch of other push shows too: floating, 100% vancouver, daniel barrow, nervous system system, bro gilbert, gloria’s cause, my show happy birthday teenage city…it’s going to be a busy winter.
the bank dogs think that our new song sounds like smashmouth, nirvana, and shrek.
