Happy (late) Birthday to Kevin Young. (september 18th)
(i should have told you this earlier but some reason i thought the show was next friday) David did not perfom, due to an illness in the band. His percussionist got sick and went back to Toronto. Both Kevin and Paul attended the show, and did a few songs with I Mother Earth.
Supposedly David stayed home because he was pissed he couldn't play.

- They hope to return to the studio in November (hopefully in Montreal) after some more writting.
-"We're going to find out the real direction of the
sound when we get a producer. The
way that the demos are laid out, they're very bare
bones. We did a lot of it at Mark
place. We wanted to strip it down
and get really basic, so the producer can hear the
song, not necessarily our interpretation of it." [quote from Paul Wilcox]

Last night's Montreal show with David Usher at MusiquePlus was not an 'enligne', it was rather a small intimate and very laid back show with about 80 people attending.. The set was similar to a living

The musicians did a run through of the entire album with the exception of mood
song. Last night's musicians were: kevin young, another kevin
on cello, guitarist, byron wong on bass, jeff pearce also played
bass on St. Lawrence river, and a percussionist as well.
It was taped yesterday evening (wednesday sept. 16th) and will be AIRED ON MUSIQUEPLUS OCTOBER 17TH AT 8h00 PM.

For some time people have been asking why moist doesn't release their albums in Europe. Today i have an anwser. Releasing in Europe would mean they would have to tour there, and reality is that touring in Europe is very (very) expensive.
