December 9, The Queen's, Nanaimo

So the guys are putting the touches on our rehearsal space, turning it into a full-fledged studio! Constructing actual walls, ceilings, soundproof areas, putting in doors and windows... pretty impressive stuff. After I spent 3 hours trying to put in screws with an electric drill on the 'reverse' setting, they sent me home. Ah well, wasn't any beer left, anyway, and I was likely to drywall my own hand or something.

While our rehearsal space may be reduced to a 'too small to breathe' size, we'll finally have a proper studio where we can record and track *everything* for the new album if we so choose! Bwahaha! Meatball, don't spill the beer on the new carpet! fark....

Meanwhile, now that I've progressed out of the 'cream of flu soup' that I was in this week, it's time to get back to writing new tunes for the album...

PS - check out the Impending Loom blog -- I'll be putting up playlists from the radio show there from now on!

Overtime Frenzy!

The recording has been going well for the new album.. big ups to the Hooligan for some fine bass tracks!

This week: Beer, hockey and ska!

Or, to focus: Lucky Lager, Canucks, and Kiltlifters!

Big night at the Velvet Underground, the Malaspina pub, this Thursday night! (Nov. 10)

First, at 7pm, check out the Canucks vs. those no-good-bums Avalanche on the big screen! As soon as the game ends, we Kiltlifters will take to the stage and fire up the ska into the wee hours! If you are at the pub during the game, I believe you'll be offered a mighty discount on cover charge for our show...

As always, on Thursdays, bottles of Lucky Lager are only $2.75. Pints of other fine beer only $3.50!

Soon, we rally...

trouble with the monarchy

Ack. Owing to no fault of our own, we've been bumped from the Queen's schedule this month -- our gig that was originally booked for Sat., Nov. 5 has been moved. It wouldn't have angered me if they had just called us up and told us, but we found out by reading their online schedule! Ah, the music biz...

Anyway, catch some Kiltlifterness at the Malaspina pub, the Velvet Underground, Thursday Nov. 10th. Party for your right to fight, then, the next day, remember those who fought for our right to party!

Our shows in Vancouver were a blast -- thanks to all of our friends and many returning fans who came out and skanked away! The Elixxxirs kicked ass! Many sordid stories from the weekend, but it concluded with sippin' Guinness at Jeremy Hale's place and eating pancakes on the run.

Speaking of which, it's off to school for me... but check out our new promo video on this site!
