So I have a fear of singing in public and I would include just about everything and everyone as being part of public. In an effort to get over my fear of public singing etc.. I made a video of me, a jerk with a camera, singing a Phillip Roebuck song.

Being that I am not the best singer I thought I would at least make the video really pretty. :)

It was a nice day today so I went out for a walk. There were so many busking folks out today so there was plenty of music to guide me along :)

Jerk with a camera.

Lately I find myself doing a lot more music wise then I do photo wise (not to say that i am going to become a jerk with a camera /guitar/banjo/microphone or anything anytime soon) In addition to playing in our increasingly inaccurately described folk rock duo My Friend Lisa (there are four of us now) I have found my self playing with Mikala on a fairly regular basis. I have also been working on a raunchy punk rock side project with my other awesome friend Jenna (whom you may remember from this video) called “The Stank“ All that & I have been recording a few demos for other people! All in all it has been rather busy on the music front these past months.

All the while I have been tring to live up to the camera part of my jerk with a camera name though, as such this is a polaroid from Wednesday of my friend Mikala manhandling Chester!

We were working on some new material but its not quite ready for the masses yet so I will leave you with a cover of the worlds best band EVAH!!!

Just from a walk to gastown the other day.

This is an instagram that Shannon took during last rehearsal. I liked it so I stole it.

…but it would seem that I try anyway :)

Yup – Not A Drummer

…this is a repost from the the MFL website…

We had mentioned this on twitter but we have been so busy I forgot to mention it on the blog. My Friend Lisa is no longer just a duo! We have welcomed Renee (keys) & Lani (violin) into the fold!! We are still finding our footing with all this but have a listen to our off the floor cuts from last nights studio kitchen rehearsal.

Our favourite song ‘London’
My Friend Lisa – Dec.14.2011 – London

And our complete failure at playing Smashing Pumpkins Disarm.
My Friend Lisa – Dec.14.2011 – Disarm
I personally blame the kettle boiling over at that exact moment. :)

Not perfect but we have only played together a couple of times so I figure we are on the way to AWESOME!!

Just a plain old digital photo from our weekend trip to Ucluelet

So right before the crazy of Culture Crawl we headed out to the west coast for some scouting and what not.  Here are some Redscale images from Ucluelet

My favourite is this last one.
