Busy times for the Mike man!

I've been quite busy on the music front these days. I'm always happiest when I'm busy playing music. This is what's been going on the last little while and also what's coming up!!

BOND GIRLS

Bond Girls has been polishing off our first round of recordings and getting ready to send them out into the world! This group is a blast to play in and a great opportunity for me to let down my locks and get wild. We should have something new to show ya soon enough! In the meanwhile we'll be playing next week Saturday night November 22nd at The Handlebar.

CULTURE REJECT

This group is a real pleasure to play for. With it's catchy vocals and groovin' bass lines it really is a fantastic breed of complex pop music. Last night I got to share the stage with them again in Guelph at a private event and it reminded me of how lovely they are as a band and as people. It's also fun to play a style that's more groove based and jazzy at times.

SUE NEWBERRY & THE LAW

We are in the final process of pre-production and are getting ready to start laying down bed tracks next week. This is a very exciting time for this group with some great new tunes on the way! I'm also excited to spend a couple days in the studio holding it down and doing what I love to do most!

RLMDL

This group is revin' up to play a couple shows in under a month. First up is next Tuesday evening at the Hoxton in Toronto. We're opening for a group by the name of Electric Youth aka. the band from the movie Drive. This really is the perfect fit for RLMDL and I am sure it will be a great show!

The other show that is coming up will be played December 4th at the classic Horseshoe Tavern. It's our first headlining show in quite a little while and are extremely excited for it to be at such a lovely venue and with some fantastic other bands.

Always love playing with these cats live as they are two of my more bestest pals. It's also fun to try and duplicate sequenced and programmed drums as it can be a bit of a challenge.
