Mocking Shadows CD Release

Just got this in my email one minute ago from the Mocking Shadows:

Just in case you haven't heard already...the long awaited Calgary release of our new album "The Sound" is tonight Friday Dec 14th at Wyckham House/Liberty Lounge on the Mount Royal campus. We be joined by three great local acts: Kaley Kinjo, Ryan Bourne and Five Star Affair. Doors are at 8pm, the first band goes on at 8:30 and the cover is $10. Hope to see you there!

Um, yeah... thanks for the advance warning guys. I was looking forward to this all fall and now I can't go. In future, giving your fans a little more heads up would be appreciated.

Calgary Area Musicians Wanted!

For those who don't know it, I'm on the $100 Film Festival committee for the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers (CSIF). Each year at the festival, they organize a series of Film/Music Explosions! What is a Film/Music Explosion! you might ask? Well, it's a collaboration between a local film artist and a local band, creating an original film for one of the band's songs. When the completed piece is screened at the festival in March, the band plays LIVE with the film. It's loads of fun and generates lots of excitement and anticipation during the film festival.

So if you're a local band or musician, the CSIF wants your proposal to create a film based on an original song! All styles accepted, no entry fees required. Proposals MUST include: concept or short film idea with rough script / storyboard & song demo.

Deadline: Friday, December 14, 2007
