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.
