Talking Shop : Preshow Snack!! (10th Episode Spectacular)

We settle in and discuss the details of how we're going to record our well-hyped, well-documented "10TH EPISODE SPECTACULAR" !!

I run through various soundboards trying to find the right bites of sizound that will enhance the episodes....we'll need a "studio audience" and drummer and some fart noises, of course!

Talking Shop : Between takes for Josh's 10Albums #3-5picks.

We delve into some fairly deep and serious reflections on life, a segway out of the stories behind these albums that are making up the show. There is also, of course, the usual tomfoolery and inside baseball as well!

Chop It Up - GREG KOLODYCHUK

Greg is the bassist for Ground Level Falcons...he and I haven't talked in close to a year!

He is amidst a leave of absence to be with his new wife and child...

Greg wrote the final song on 'The New Wilderness' - which will end up being our 10th single off the album; it is currently getting radio play in South Africa, Australia, the UK and USA.

We catch up and reflect on our music careers up until this point, as well as discuss the creation of the song itself! 

ESPresents - LIVE at Inkaneep Point Resort!!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!

This is the first acoustic show Josh and I have done since the winter of 2002! #spenthigh

Setlist :

Enjoy!

ESPresents : Cameron Bradford - KDays Audition

Cameron Bradford and I put together his audition audio for the Talent Search for the upcoming KDays concert series!

What the F is KDays?

KDays is a HUGE point of exposure for existing artists, as well as up-and-coming artists (such as Cam!)

Cameron selected to do a cover of Garth Brooks' "The Thunder Rolls".

The layout of the podcast is we record all the behind-the-curtain process leading up to the final take which we ended up sending in...

Talking Shop - The Thrill of the Sale, the drums come home

A few weeks off after the show and Brendan is back, recharged and ready for biz!

As we unpack and reset the studio kit we discuss selling music gear on kijiji and the Jedi mind tricks behind it.

Talking Shop - Hilltop (pre & post show)

The Hilltop Trilogy is in the books!

Hilltop is a fantastic venue ..but after 3 consecutive shows we have our eyes on a few different venues around town.

Part 1 of this TS episode is as we are packing up to head out to the venue...

Cheers!

ESPresents - Ground Level Falcons - LIVE @ HILLTOP PUB!!

The hard sell heading into tonight.

The concert event of the Spring (thus far)...

...not really blues, but we definitely had a bunch of technical garble to deal with tonight!!

HILLTOP PUB - TOMORROW, MAY 10TH @ 9PM!!

Talking Shop - Show prep, sound FX rabbit hole

We discuss the useage of Blairs minivan as the "bandvan" - up to and including the painting of a viking woman on the van's side.

We also record our discovery of Blairs vast new sound FX/sound library due to his new software and new hardware combination (wait till you see this rig on May 10th!!)
