here is the promised picture of my little caravan shack, along with the stunning horse jason (nee jesus). we had a marvellous three week residency at the farm, worked on the show (that’s jaime and maiko running sarah’s choreography, with mirae filming), hung out with the horses, swam in the river, and cooked grand meals together. i’m already plotting my return to the caravan, whether they want me or not.

the past weekend’s shows were fabulous. the fits album is officially out (check the music page!), and being snapped up by discriminating oddballs everywhere. my favourite quote of that night was ida’s father leaving the room after our set, exclaiming “now that’s entertainment!”. not a comment i inspire often. and the duplex set at word on the street was pretty good, despite the fact that our thirteen year old members are taking a hiatus. to work on other projects. such as grade 8.

next up for me: a short fits/hille tour of the bc islands this weekend, then into headlong prep for our european and uk tours in october and november. i’ve had a good break from shows, and i’m ready to rock. see you out there! Continue reading onward!

some excellent news! the video for bedlam (made by quinne rodgers, david henderson-hean, and aidan kasta) has been nominated in the best video category at the western canadian music awards. alongside some stellar westcoasters, too. you can watch bedlam on myspace. and we’re working on a more computer friendly version of the video, which will be up on this site soon. they made a lovely thing, those three.

we had a nice show here at the caravan on saturday. some new things, some silly things, and field study.

and don’t forget, the fits’ new record Seize to Amaze comes out sept 23, with a show at the western front in vancouver! and of course, available for sale online the same day. here i am, rolling the thunder. Continue reading bedlam, more bedlam
