happy birthday meghan morrison (only a week late!)

photo via facebook

last friday callum and i paid a visit to aspetta cafe, where our friend meghan morrison was celebrating her birthday. she rented out the joint for the night and shared the stage with everyone in attendance. guests were encouraged (sometimes forced hah) to sign up for the open mic. we played cadaver bells & gypsy spells as well as the hangman's elm. aspetta is a small cafe (with a wicked patio) located in trendy kensington market. they have a stage that opens to the patio, nothing better then being able to enjoy live music while sipping a cider and chain smoking (kidding!...sort of... ew). callum and i were recently featured on meghan's weekly webcast, which you can find here.

tattoos + guitars

here are a couple more photos of our first session at oak recording studio. these were taken off of my canon, not the iphone, so the quality it a little better. there are a few shots at the end of callum playing on a vintage gibson that the studio has available and it sounds beautiful. we're heading back to the studio tonight to finish up the song with some finger snaps and all that jazz.

you can find the rest of the shots here.

at the studio: cadaver bells & gypsy spells

last night the theatre zero headed over to oak recording studio to record our new song, cadaver bells and gypsy spells. we were able to lay down the drums, guitar + piano. callum also serenaded us with his harmonica and recorded a couple tracks. we're going back on thursday to add all of the fun stuff like hand claps and wolves howling and doors creaking. you can still find the demo here. can you think of anything else we should add to the song? we might throw in some melodica soprano
(a wicked instrument we found vintage shopping, post to come) or accordion, what do you think?
