New discord Link

Hey everyone, I guess these links expire so here’s the new one!

workin on a band writing vid that will come to Patreon this weekend!

The discord server is growing so that’s fun, people hanging out and sharing things about the band.

That‘s essentially what this discord will be designed for.

I’m on there when I can be to dip in but it’s important that the Patreon content happens here on Patreon as not everyone can use discord.

Use discord...

Discord, Continued and more info

Hello wonderful humans! So I've successfully linked the Patreon site to the Discord server so you should be able to link your Patreon account to your Discord account now.

For anyone who doesn't use or doesn't like discord, fear not.  All content will still be hosted here on the Patreon servers and if and when anything was to happen on discord that was exclusive it will also be posted here for everyone to enjoy.

Take care and stay safe

Patreon Discord Rising

Hey everyone, we're slowly getting the discord server together for all our patrons to interact and discuss all sorts of things. For those that are new to discord, think classic text-based web forums of yesteryear!  It's a good way for the Patreon community to connect and discuss the band and I'll try to pop in to post some updates or fun things from time to time.  I'll encourage the rest of the band to get it as well and join if they have some time to learn it!

Almost out of lockdown

We can't really believe it, but we're going for two more weeks of lockdown in Toronto.

We were thinking of ways to connect, Rainbow and I loved the podcast idea so we're thinking of continuing that with some new ideas.

For example, instead of a Q & A style, what broader topics would you guys like us to discuss between myself and Rainbow and also with the other band members?

When June comes we'll be able to announce the next official LIVE Q&A as well!

One - Rainbow Version

Here's a treat for you all. A never before released version of "One." This is a great example of the development of the songs from original idea to final product. Rainbow's mix has different lyrics and the guitar lines on the album version hadn't been dreamt up just yet. So, I won't ruin it in text, there's a suprise vocalist on this one... you'll know it when you hear it. Enjoy! 

Electro - Unreleased Demo - WWS

Going back to the Walking With Strangers era we have this "Electro" piece. An idea that formed and evolved but never got to make it to the melody and lyrics phase! 

The Making of “Neverending Story”

Hey gang! We put together this little video of us recording the “Neverending Story” cover! Hope you like it.

Brett, that's me, Bat for short haha, captured some in-studio work footage of Phil and Falcore going over some drum parts just before we went into Lockdown 6 .... sorry about the click track, we need it for timing!!! 

Toronto Lockdown Blues

Hey friends, it's been a long month and we've all been in lockdown in Toronto... Agian? STILL!!! It looks like Vaccine rollout is finally happening for us over the next 2-4 weeks in the city so we're really hoping to reform the band bubble and get things going again. This will allow us to do live Q & A's and some more in-depth videos on the writing and recording process. 

The good thing about being all cooped up at home is that writing for the next album has started! Just befor...
