Make with the show

Marystaple Tour PosterI’m finally taking this thing out of the garage and taking it for a few laps around the lagoon. Only I’m taking it much further, really. The Canadia machine has shows booked up and down the country, so let’s hope my metaphor holds up.

Damn, broke the illusion.

Head you on over to the newly created Gigs page to have a look at the shows I’ve got coming up. You’ll notice most of them are part of a Marystaple tour. That’s because those rocking Porirua dudes have asked me to come be ballast on their No Need to be Nervous album release tour, and I do love being ballast.

Want to know more? Marystaple have some tunes on their MySpace page, and the lovely team at Amplifier have posted the whole press release. Oh noes, the inner workings of the industry! I don’t know about the ‘staple stuff, but my contribution remains unchanged. They obviously recognise good work when they see it.

The one anomaly on the gigs page is a one-off show at the Kings Arms this Sunday, where I’ll test out the arrangements for this tour. File under experimentation, or maybe just preparedness. Which just seems anathema to me.

See you at the shows, hot sauce!
