Here are three videos shot by Scott Cudmore for AUX`s Camera Music. A little rough around the edges but a genuine look into a dismantled show night with Bruce Peninsula.
Part I - Peterborough in White
Part II - Banjara Bellies
Part III - Crammed Kitchen

CEE-BEE-CEE / PO-CO HALL
We'll be playing a couple songs on Q on CBC Radio 1 on Friday, Feb 7th. Sometime between 10am and noon. Steve is coming in from Lindsay, Daniela from Fort Eerie and Misha from London. We have to be there at 7:30 am, so I guess its coffee coffee coffee.
We've always wondered what the CBC building looked like inside. Just one more random place we get to explore because we have a new record.
More importantly though, we'd like to let everyone know how entirely thrilled we were by the party on Sunday night. Thank you to all of our friends and family members and neighbours and co-workers (and to all the friendly strangers) for coming out to celebrate A Mountain Is A Mouth with us this weekend (on Oscar night, no less).
To anybody that lended a hand to make it run smoothly and to those that gave us a pat on the back after we played, you made all our work over the past couple years worth it in just one night.
We'll remember that one forever.

Vid-ee-oh
Below is a Youtube clip of Shanty Song and a short interview for a series called Soundcheck, made by a couple guys named Colin Medley and Brad Frenette for the National Post. We popped down to the Distillery District to film it before our soundcheck at the Horseshoe a couple weeks back.
Soon we'll post the stuff we recorded for Scott Cudmore's Camera Music, which is considerably more raw but cool because it gave a chance to get over the dissapointment of the cancelled Peterborough show snow day.
What we've noticed is that these videos are always strange for us to watch. Maybe a 4x4 embedded video player just doesn't do enough to properly portray the way we sound, or maybe it's just that we're sheepish about seeing ourselves on screen because we're normal self-concious human beings.
Either way, a few people have been asking to tape our shows lately and our answer to that will always be yes. We like to get a chance to see them before they end up in one of those little 4x4 screens but generally we feel that, like a leaking record, there's little we can (should?) do to stop it.
Hope you enjoy this and the other things that surface. And feel free to let us know what it looks like from outside the BP bubble. Cause we have no idea.

Public chatter
So, we've been very lucky to get a boatload of press lately, mostly good. Our former fourteen-year-old selves are freaking out about the coverage in Globe & Mail and Pitchfork and the like but the adult us are most flattered with a review on a blog called Obscure Sound. It landed in our Google Alert inbox a couple days ago and, reading through it, we couldn't help but be touched by the time that Mike Mineo has clearly spent with our record and the thoughtful things he had to say in response.
We're well aware that press is just about angles and snappy copy, but every so often something like this comes along and proves that people are truly listening and that music journalism doesn't have to be all superlatives and regurgitated press releases.
Head over to the press section to read Mike's review or hit the direct link here.
Thanks to everyone who has written about us recently. Thanks especially to Mike for proving that, sometimes, you'll find more insight in the small corners of the internet than you will in a traditionally-circulated, supposedly authoritative newspaper.
