David Usher a insufflé un coup de jeune au rock… Il fait dans le vrai que ce soit avec Moist ou en solo. 1998, l’année de pleine éclosion de David Usher? Chose sûre, il accumule les compliments… Charisme évident, interprète vivant et compositeur de grand talent! Cette fois-ci il nous offre une prestation intime de chansons tirées de son album Little Songs en compagnie de ses fans. Il nous interprète son succès Jesus was my girl ainsi que F-Train, Million, St-Lawrence, Baby Skin Tattoo Trickster et Forest Fire.

Toronto's 102fm the Edge is airing a anti-racism message with Paul Wilcox, it goes like this: " hi this is Paul Wilcox from Moist and racism is ignorance but so is silence in the face of it."

From the I Mother Earth mailing list...
"It's always great seeing the Moist guys. We always seem to have a good time hanging out with them and they really hit it off with Brian quickly. (After all, it was at their Massey Hall show that he was first introduced to the world as our new singer!)"
thanks to liv for finding that!

The September/October issue of Canadian Musician has 3 articles written by Kevin Young, and pictures of both Moist and Kevin.

There is a pretty likely possiblity that David Usher will do a club tour in the states to support Little Songs. More info to come.
For all of you who are pissed off by the fact he's showing up at 19+ venues, sources say he wishes to market a different audience. (read between the lines, older, more mature, people who would/could relate to him better).

There might be more canadian apperances such as Holy Joe's in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. And the rumored show tonight in Guelph.
