This weekend we had the opportunity to once again rock out in the middle of the forest for the closing ceremonies of the 2019 Pacific Jamboree. What a great way to return to the stage with this band after a couple of years off, and a great first show to play with Rob on bass.<br />

Doing so on the big stage at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival was just an added bonus. The crowd was very receptive, and I had a blast hanging around for the rest of the day to catch all the other amazing artists performing after us including Too Many Zooz from New York.<br />

Probably the only session I've done as strictly a backup singer without an instrument. Enjoy the song, it's free to stream, download and share.

So far it has been an exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience. During my return to school I had to put a lot of my private performance work on hold, but I am happy to say that I am becoming more active once again now that things are settling into place a bit.<br />
<br />
This weekend I recorded my parts for the new Space Elevator album. I am beyond excited to hear the final result once it has all been put together!<br />

<b><br /></b>
The brainchild of musical mad scientist Mike W.T. Allen returns to the Fox Cabaret in Vancouver. This is a big band that, other than being loud, sounds like exactly the opposite of what a traditional big band should be. It's a big undertaking to get this many talented musicians all on the same stage at the same time. The debut show one year ago was a smash hit, and you definitely don't want to miss the new tricks this sonic juggernaut has up its sleeve.<br />

<b>JUNE 17: LOS FURIOS @ The Victoria International Ska Festival</b><br />
<br />
Los Furios are returning to the Victoria Ska Fest to share the stage at the Victoria Events Centre for the Canadian debut of La Banda Skalavera from Los Angeles.<br />

I began classes at the University of British Columbia in the education program. In 12 months I will (hopefully) be the proud holder of a shiny new B.Ed degree, with my focus being music education for students in secondary school.<br />
<br />
The transition has already been difficult; having to say goodbye to most of my private students was not easy. I'm also not looking forward to likely needing to turn down some gigs, although I will of course continue to perform as much as I can reasonably manage.<br />
<br />
By all accounts this program is one that will keep be very busy, but I'm looking forward to learning lots as I embark on this new part of my music career.Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06937498524269710565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660585016185068548.post-53340763618326564672016-08-16T03:02:00.003-07:002016-08-16T03:02:55.477-07:002016 summer updateLots of exciting gigs so far this summer and still more to come. Los Furios has some busy months ahead of us including the <b>Legends Valley Music Festival</b> on Vancouver Island, the <b>Surrey Reggae Festival</b>, and <b>Non-Stop Ska Festival</b> in Mexico City. More to be announced soon.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On another note, I will be going back to school this September for my B.Ed at UBC. I will continue to gig as much as possible during and after my program, but my private teaching practice will be reduced during the next year as I make time for my own educational commitments. </div>

This is a brand new project I'm involved in.

Things will be crazy, loud, and unforgettable. You might want to bring ear plugs.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>Performing with Field Study. When I was in University, my first introduction to Vancouver's local indie music scene was Parlour Steps. I attended a number of their shows as I fell in love with the world of live music. I wanted to start my own band, and I made it a goal of mine to one day open for Parlour Steps. By the time No Island had started to come into its own, Parlour Steps had sadly disbanded, but I reached out to their former frontman Caleb Stull and was able to arrange a show with his new project Field Study at the same venue I had gone to see him play at many times before.</li>
<li>Opening for The Toasters and The Mad Caddies with Los Furios.</li>
<li>The coldest winter tour EVER with No Island. Lessons about the Coquihalla were reenforced.</li>
<li>Beginning my association with Lightbulb Vaporizer.</li>
<li>Beginning work on a new Los Furios album.</li>
<li>Another fantastic summer tour with No Island.</li>
<li>And the one thing that dominated 2014: Successfully crowd-funding and recording No Island's first full-length studio album "Better Days". This has been such a massive undertaking, and it's exciting to know that the finish line is now so close.</li>

No Island got fan mail from a couple of young musicians who told us how much they like our songs and asked if we could send them some charts so that they could play them for themselves. We almost never use charts of any sort, but I was able to find something to send them. I heard back saying how excited they were and that they were going to get together with some friends to play through the songs. I hope they keep on going after that song.<br />
<br />
To cover my recent hiatus from posting:<br />
<ul>
<li>No Island did a small summer tour, best summed up in the video playlist below.</li>
<li>Los Furios opened for The Slackers at The Imperial, and then played a super fun Halloween show at the Howe Sound Brewing Co.</li>
<li>Lightbulb Vaporizer has had me on board for some more of their shows, including a CD release show later this month at the good ol' Railway Club.</li>
<li>This fall has seen many late nights at Habitat Studios overseeing the final stages of No Island's Better Days coming together, as well as continuing work on Los Furios' as-yet-untitled EP that was started earlier this year. Most of my focus will be on the No Island album leading up to its release in early 2015.</li>

<br />
The biggest news is the success of No Island's crowdfunding campaign that will be concluding about 4 hours after this is posted. Thanks to all our incredible fans, friends, and family, we are able to move ahead with the production of our new album Better Days that we spent the month of May recording. Even unmixed, the songs are already sounding amazing. I'm so proud and excited to share this music with the world, hopefully sometime this fall if things go according to plan.<br />

Behind the scenes, Los Furios also has a new release brewing (although the target release date is still unknown to me). We also have a free show coming up this Saturday at the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival at the Olympic Village around 3:30.</div>

With horns!No Island finally has another big Vancouver show coming up. Joining us on the bill will be my friends in missingNo, whom I assisted in recording their original demos. We'll be stealing their horn section for a few No Island songs. It feels like it's been a while since I last sat down to arrange horn parts rather than doing it on-the-fly. I also had the pleasure of designing the poster. Quite excited for this one!

I jammed with them earlier this week, and it was quite different from any other projects I'm currently involved with. Simply put, they are an instrumental jam band. So if you want to hear me doing some uninhibited musical wanking, come on down to Pat's Pub Friday April 11. Also playing are The Jen Huangs for their last show ever.Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06937498524269710565noreply@blogger.com0
