Back from touring the western part of Canada we drove from Winnipeg to Toronto in a day and a half. Tires were punctured, fingers injured, tail pipes fell off, clothing and electronics stolen, vistas eyed, new pals and old pals, the number of sunflower seeds consumed cannot be calculated. Here is a picture of a happier moment on the road. Things will be slowing down in terms of live shows so that I can focus on recording but not before a show in Toronto opening for Fiery Furnaces!! Check out the shows page for more details!!
On the shores of the Pacific, through the mountains and across the prairies a new song will be heard! The Phonemes and Metal Kites are teaming up for a tour across western Canada in June. Show dates are coming together and you can get all of the details by clicking here! Wooee!
You may want to go here to see two videos that stand-up guy, Mitch Fillion made of the Phonemes for his Southern Souls video project. There are many many great performances on his site so enjoy taking a gander throughout.
Also exciting is that one of the videos features a brand new song called “Sunday morning, sacred heart” from the upcoming new album entitled “The Vanishing Point”.
Lots of live show activity this coming week! On Tuesday and Wednesday Magali plays solo at Johan Hultqvist’s monthly FREE SPEECH salon and at the last (for 2009) of Graham Wagner & Becky Johnson’s Iron Cobra comedy and improv show at the Comedy Bar.
This Friday, it’ll be like this, except that you will be where I am sitting and I will serenade you with Phonemes songs and John Tielli will be there singing Metal Kites and we’ll sing together too. This Friday at the Holy Oak on Bloor Street close to Lansdowne in Toronto.
Today’s meeting with Jamie Bunton over spaghetti and tomato sauce results in full stomachs and a solid plan. Can’t wait to get started on the new song series. Mostly about Jack: husband, father, QC, lover of spirits and wine, sweet pickles and fried onions. More on that later…
For now, it’s all about practicing to the click, becoming blind with the time, just going to wear it like a coat.
In 1989, Bob Wiseman released “In her dream”. Here is a clip of the Phonemes playing the song “No Commotion” at the 20th anniversary release party at the end of July. That night Magali was joined by Katie Crown, Stephanie Markowitz, John Tielli and Julie Faught. For more clips of the evening. You can go to here.
