Romano / LVD


It's gonna be a while before we have a proper new release from Bruce Peninsula but that doesn't mean we're stagnant. We're well on our way to finishing a host of BP releases but we're all busy otherwise too. Wanted to tell you about two new releases from members of the Bruce...

First up is Daniel Romano's new full-length, Working For The Music Man, which prominently features our own Misha Bower. She's on almost all the tracks and it's a real beautiful piece of art. Visit Dan's myspace to get some more information and keep an eye out for a new Romano 7" called Songs For Misha, which were actually written about our girl. I only mention that because I'm sure it will make her blush.

Next is The Lake Vernon Drowning, which is the solo project of our bass and lapsteel player Andrew Barker. Man of Leisure / Man Of War is a great accomplishment for Andrew and showcases all the other things he can do that you don't hear in Bruce Peninsula. Did you know that his day job is as a guitar teacher? He's also a really great lyricist and programmer. MOL/MOW is a really interesting mix of electronics, guitars and bourbon in the basement at 5am. You can buy it on CD or mp3 here.

Steve is nearly done his own record and it should surface on Fuzzy Logic Recordings any day now. Matt, Amy, Tamara and Daniela have all started their own new solo records as well. All should hopefully start bubbling to the surface over the next few months.

Thanks for supporting our rag-tag crew. Hope it tides you over until the next legit BP recording makes it into the light.
