Train Bigger Monkey News

Lots of exciting things are happening in the world of TBM. We’ve relocated to a new jam space and it’s working out great, and providing some renewed passion.

We’re excited to announce our CD Release party for The Human Disgrace on January 27 at the Distillery. We’ll be playing with local acts Bloated Pig and Lordosis and have comedian Neil Melrose to tickle everyone’s funny bone. Details can be found here. We hope to see everyone rocking out!

At the show you’ll be able to purchase physical copies of the new album, but for those out-of-towners looking to pick up a copy don’t fret we’ve got you covered. Our new album will be available on iTunes, CdBaby, 24-7, 7digital, Amazon MP3, Google Music Store, GreatIndieMusic, Tradebit and Verizon.

And the good news doesn’t stop there. We were recently interviewed by BeatRoute magazine you can check out the article by clicking the picture  below.

 

 

 

 

In addition to our CD release we’ll also be playing Verns on January 28, so if you can’t make it to the Distillery, Verns will be sure to rock just as hard.

We’ve got a photo shoot coming up next week, and then a little bit of recording in March so stay tuned for more super cool awesome stuff!

The Human Disgrace

The long, long, long wait is almost over. Train Bigger Monkeys – the band I’ve been playing bass in for the last 8 months – is just about set to release our first album. The discs are off being reproduced and with any luck we should have them in our greedy little hands before New Years.

As proof that there is actually an album coming, here’s the cover art.

The album will be available on iTunes, CD Baby and in hard copy at one of our fantastic shows. To hold you over till the forthcoming release, here’s some YouTube videos of our last show at Vern’s in Calgary.

I’m Lacking Some Energy

I just can’t find the energy for this anymore.

I don’t know what my problem is. Well, not true, I guess there’s a few things leading to my lack of blogging lately. First is that I can’t upload pictures at work. I have no idea what’s going on in the back-end, but it just won’t let me.This annoys me. I like to put pictures with my posts. For example right now I’d put a picture of a super awesome monkey, dressed as a Russian doing a jig. You’d love it.

I’m busier. But so what? I’ve been busy before.

I think I’m going to blame Twitter. It takes me less time and less words to say almost the same thing on Twitter. That being the case check out my feed over there ———–>

There’s a lot going on though, and a lot – had I the ambition – I could write about. Occupy Wall street and the various off-shoots has my interest peaked. For more info google search or start here.

My band Train Bigger Monkeys is set to release our debut album “The Human Disgrace” at the end of the month. Like our FB Page for all the upcoming info and CD release http://www.facebook.com/TrainBiggerMonkeys

I’m heading out on holidays next week. So you definitely won’t be hearing from me for at least a couple weeks.

Be good.

 

Justice Journey Extended

The journey to justice is a long and arduous one.

In 2006 our family was sent a card from a woman in Calgary. She expressed her condolences to us on our loss, and extended her services to anything she could help us with. But what stuck with me most, was her comment that we would be dealing with this for a very long time.

At the time it was the very last thing we needed to hear. I’m sure she meant well, and was likely just hoping to prepare us for the long journey ahead of us. But, at the time, we didn’t want to know that the next decade of our life would be spent in and out of the Canadian Justice system.

Today that journey was extended.

Due to conflicting lawyer schedules and the firing and hiring of new defense lawyers the re-trial has been moved till May 22, 2012. Scheduled to last till the end of June 2012.

It’s a piss of it takes this long, but on the plus side the remand center has 2 more inmates for 8 months longer.

Wait what? I have a blog?

I know right? Crazy.

But I’m moving.

My life is consumed in boxes. Organization and happy stress.

Yeah, that’s a thing.

I think.

Anyways. I’ll be back to writing and updating soon. Till then, enjoy this.

Proud Dad To An Evil Child

Coming into this week I owned exactly 3 guitars, 5 amps, and 1 drum kit.

As I mentioned last post, I have joined Train Bigger Monkeys as their bass player.

Since I have no prior experience as a bass player (other then making fun of them for being as useful as an empty beer fridge) I do not own a bass.

Or rather did not own a bass.

Please welcome to my family the newest, evil child.
