shows

in replacement for the missing chapel gig, me and the band are going to play the lamplighter with azeda booth on monday july 23. this is the day after mix, so i’m looking forward to rocking out. and speaking of music, another band i really like right now is art af oryx. i hope we’ll be playing with them in berlin next spring.

other upcoming gigs: the fits play with geoff berner on saturday sept 15 at the railway club. i’ll be in ottawa september 28 playing a tribute to glenn gould. right after that i’ll probably do a few things in toronto. oh, and on august 17 ida is throwing a goodbye party for herself at the railway. we are losing her to the big smoke, which is a tragedy for vancouver and a victory for toronto. the fits will play, i will play, fond of tigers, and more.

i’ll update the tour page shortly. see you soon! Continue reading shows

hallo folks. due to some misadventures with publicity timing the chapel show has been cancelled, alas. but you can still go see azeda booth at the railway club on july 22. i hope to be there, downing a celebratory martini after finishing the mix for This Riot Life. we start on monday, i’m very excited. and as colin sets up the songs every day i’ll be working on the prize ribbons. i’ll mail out the first round of life support packages at the end of the month.

what else? i’ve just finished a film with ivan coyote called The Love That Won’t Shut Up. it’s about queer history in vancouver, and was commissioned by Out On Screen, our gay film fest. the film will play at the Vancity Theatre on august 24th, and ivan and i will both perform at the screening. another OOS event: John Cameron Mitchell is coming!!! I’m very excited, and hope to meet him.

what else? (or: Why Haven’t I Been Posting?) i’m working with the leaky heaven circus on a show about cannibalism, i just made a pilot/pitch to host a cbc show about cabaret, there’s an opera in the offing, i’m making music for some ice dancing choreographed by jennifer mascall, and the fits have learned the Tom Lehrer song the elements. oh, and i’m reading the new annie dillard book the maytrees. she slays me.

and a few days ago, we wrangled 4 guinea pigs out of our back yard. it’s non-stop adventure around here folks. i better get out of the computer room and see what’s going on now. xx v Continue reading and july
