Raine Maida will be busking around
Toronto to raise money for War Child on Thursday October 25. Check out his
myspace page for more details.
If you are in the area after Raine's busking, you should consider stopping by
the Rivoli to hear Public, an indie band that we have been fans of for a while
now. You won't be disappointed!
Here is a
map to help you locate both Raine and Public.

Check out this cool band called
Thousand Foot
Krutch. You may find that that they have a similar sound to OLP.
Enjoy! Thanks to Scutley for sending this our way.

OLP update courtesy of Steve via his
Myspace:"Hey there everyone. Steve
here. Long time no talk. Hope everyone is well. What to say what to say
what to say what to say.
OLP just finished a week of writing/recording up at casa
de Maida here in LA a week or so ago. Very cool. Good stuff. Good times.
Recorded the bed tracks for 3 new songs, very cool very cool very cool. One song
with a Neil Young-y type of guitar riff. Great chorus. Another one very fast.
Jeremy playing fills that sound like they could be in a fast Russian folk dance
song with those dudes doing those crazy leg kicks. Then into a fast staccato
verse.
Then into a total broken down slow bridge with just
Raine strumming acoustic and singing. It think that we may start the song like
that also. Not sure how to describe the third song. Verse with circular guitar
lick and trashy, almost Beck-like beat, pre-chorus broken down to just Raine and
I, big chorus with big, soaring chords. The bridge takes you to another place.
Want to go play it right now.
So anyway, we are definitely not laying dormant. True
that we all have side projects happening but that is good.....just expands each
of our creative horizons so that we have more to bring to the band and
to...........YOU!
Hoping this finds everyone well,
Steve"
Thanks to Paul G. for making us aware of this.

Sadly, Chris Benoit (Canadian WWE
wrestler who OLP wrote theme song, "Whatever" for) has been found dead in his
Georgia home along with wife and child. At this time, speculation is that the
incident was a murder- suicide. Our thoughts are with his family as they cope
with this tragedy.

"Hey Friends,
Just thought you might like to know that we have been doing some writing
and recording. It looks like we will be heading into Raine's studio in
July. Keep your ears to the ground and I will try to get some early
versions posted in the near future.
Best,
Duncan" |
Thanks to Mike P. for passing this along.
