April Tour, RSD release and June Tour

We are heading back out on the road this week. We’ll be in Washington DC, Annapolis and Charlottesville. All of the shows are sold out but check in with the venue on the day of the show when tickets that have been held back for various reasons are often released. Also, in celebration of Record Store Day on April 12th, we will be releasing “More Acoustic Junk”, a Record Store Day exclusive that features five brand new acoustic recordings along with five tracks from our original Acoustic Junk album. Click here to look for participating record stores in your area.

And….tickets for our June shows out West have gone on sale….get all the info on our Tour Page. We hope to see you out there somewhere.

Our 1986 debut album ‘Whites Off Earth Now!!’ is now available on limited edition red vinyl, 180g audiophile black vinyl & CD.  Captured live to tape using a single ambisonic microphone, this collection of blues & rock covers along with our first original recording ‘Take Me’ introduced our signature sound to the world (or at least to the the few hundred people that originally bought the album).

Cut at half-speed by John Webber at Air Studios this edition brings out every nuance of the original recordings. Featuring standout tracks like “Shining Moon” and “Baby Please Don’t Go,” Whites Off Earth Now!! is where our journey began.

You can order your copy here.

The Barn Demos

Throughout the Spring of 2021 Margo and Michael got together in a converted barn located in Eugenia Falls, Ontario just a few miles from Margo’s home in the Beaver Valley. During the day Michael would write and in the evening Margo would drop by and sing. This was the initial phase of developing the songs that would eventually make up the album Such Ferocious Beauty. The Barn Demos – CD and Writing Notebook is a replica of the notebook that Michael used to jot down his lyric and music ideas as he built the songs and an eight song CD of unreleased acoustic recordings that Michael and Margo made during the process, and which includes two unused songs from the sessions. This is a special limited edition package for those who enjoy a peak behind the curtain. It is only available in our web store.

Here is a video of Margo and Michael performing “Maybe It’s Your Heart”, one of the unreleased songs that you will find on The Barn Demos CD:

New Album – Such Ferocious Beauty

New Album – Such Ferocious Beauty

Exciting news….we have a new album coming out on June 2nd and today you can watch and listen to the first single, “What I Lost”. You can also pre-order the album on vinyl and CD and there are even a few limited edition coloured vinyl options, if you are so inclined. 

The new album is called “Such Ferocious Beauty” and we’ll have lots more to say about it as the album release date gets closer. The new video was created by brother Pete and features our Dad as well as some super 8 footage of our Dad and Mom and family from the late 50’s and early 60’s. It’s an intense video for an intense song about an intense subject. If you want to fall a little deeper into it you should check out the Music Is The Drug podcast where Alan and I talked more in detail about the song and the making of it.
