Here's an early heads-up: Secret Society North -- the mutant offspring of Secret Society, featuring a few hardy co-conspirators alongside some of my favorite Canadian musicians -- has been selected to perform at the 2008 IAJE Madness Conference in Toronto. I'm not exactly sure when the hit will be, but the conference runs from January 9-12 so we will be in there somewhere, representin' steampunk style.
[For the perplexed: IAJE is like SXSW for jazz musicians. Except it's actually nothing like SXSW at all, apart from the whole shitloads-of-bands-trying-to-get-noticed-by-the-right-people aspect. But it's ours, and it's the only one we've got, so we love it anyway.]
I'm also gonna try to set up some local club hits in Montreal and Toronto around that time, so that actual civilians can see us too. I've wanted to bring this music to my old stomping grounds for a long time and I'm really excited that it's finally going to happen.
Bonjour DJA,
Really happy to read this!
Do let me know, at Jazz Frisson, if and when you make it to Montreal!
I'll make sure I post it on my blog.
Salutations!
Jean Francois
