We’ve started recording some new demos.
Our good friend, Adam Riddle (of Vespertine), is learning the tools of the trade over at Nimbus Studios, and offered us some free studio time. We’re not ones to pass up anything free.. anything.. so we’re laying down some tracks from the FCC song bank.
The FCC song bank is a compilation of 25-30 unfinished songs that exist solely in the world of memory. From this bank, we’ve pulled two songs:
Hipster Love (Formely known as “Upper Middle Class Blues”)
Nora’s Birthday Song (Sometimes refered to as “The Pasture”)
And there’s room for one more, which, as of yet, is undecided. Because of the continuing trend/philosophy of our band that nothing is ever set-in-stone, all songs are subject to change.
Remember the band, Subject 2 Change? They’re a defunct band better known as The Relief in later years. We played our first show with them, and they’re former lead singer/chief songwriter, Jordan Oorebeek, has produced almost all of our material. Jonny Wiebe (of “The Latency” fame) was formerly their drummer, and also did temp-drumming for FCC before he broke his hand. Small world. When you join the Free City Collective family, you’re a member for life.. in some way or another. If that doesn’t make you sign up for the newseltter, I don’t know WHAT will —————————————————————->
We’re now working hard with a fantastic drummer by the name of Joe Chipman. He’s been an absolute pleasure thus far, and we hope he sticks around for a while. At this point in time, he will be the drummer at our EP Release, slated for late Summer/Fall. However, he will not be prepared enough for the new demeauxs. Yours truly will be laying down the beats. Double time. Billy Banks.
