What do you get when you mix one part Watchmen (vocals), one part Change of Heart (bass), one part Ryan Malcolm (guitars), with one part Our Lady Peace (drums)?  You get just the prescription you have been needing during these quiet days of Peace, Doctor.  Last night, the band Doctor opened for Thornley in a little club in Sarnia, playing an amazing set from their debut CD.  Jeremy was kind enough to fill in on drums last night, and tonight in St. Catharines at the grape and wine festival.  For more information on tonight's show, visit the Doctor website and look under Tour.  Check out a few pictures we took from the show, pic1, pic2, pic3.

Jeremy has been co-hosting again on 99.3 The Fox's 6 o'clock rock report this week.  Some topics they discussed were:

-U2's missing album and the fear of it leaking onto the internet, and then they used the demo clip of "Vampires" as an example of how quickly things can spread. They also mentioned OLP.cc and how the clip was on the site so fast.

-they called up Bob Rock and he talked about some things he's been doing recently and also about Metallica, Simple Plan and OLP. Bob says he has to do 2 more songs with OLP before being completely done.

-they mentioned an email about the Labatts' beer cases and the new song "Not Afraid." Jeremy says that this song will likely be on the new album, which will come out "tentatively March-ish". Then they played Not Afraid on the radio. Thanks to Tyler, Jamez and Jen for emailing us about this.

Last night we caught Jeremy's drum clinic at Brampton's Long and McQuade. He started off by capturing the audience with an improvisational masterpiece that showcased his vast influences and technical knowledge. He then answered questions from the audience on everything from drums to the band's history.  Some important tidbits that may interest fans regarding the new CD were,

● Planned to have the CD finished for September 2004 but it started to feel rushed and they felt they were coming up against a wall so they decided to take their time.  They were in Maui for about 3 months and LA for about 6 months.  They would go into the studio to record 10 songs then take time to write. They have quite a few songs to choose from and they feel they are close to something special. The CD should be finished by the fall and out in Early 2005.

● Possible titles for the new CD are "Vampires" (in the corporate sense) or "Unusual Amount of Common Sense."

Regardless of what you may hear from various sources such as radio stations or CD shops, the release date for the new OLP CD is not confirmed until officially announced from Sony/Management or the band members themselves.  So even though dates of October 12 and early 2005 have been tentatively set and may or may not be true, these have not been officially announced as release dates.
