October Update

I’ve been a bit slow doing an update the last little while but finally here is what I’ve been up to. We shot a THERMOclinE video a few weeks ago in Toronto for “Vacant Lot”, we should be seeing a final cut in a week or so and then hopefully get it out. Of course I will have a link up to it when it is released so you can see it. There are a few photos from the video shoot up on the THERMO site. THERMO has some upcoming dates in Toronto and Southern Ontario in the next few months.

The Tammy Raybould band has been on a bit of a break from live shows lately, but Tammy is constantly doing solo dates. We have also been working on some of Tammy’s new songs over the last few weeks. Our next Ottawa date was supposed to be Barrymore’s on Nov. 3 has moved to Zaphod’s II on Dec. 8th. We will also be doing some dates in upper NY state in November.

I have also been in the studio recording a few more songs with Robert Farrell and some stuff with Sarah Sedgman.

kiss-vipI went to see KISS at the Corel Centre in Ottawa in September, it was the best show I have seen in a long time, and probably the best KISS show I have seen (I’ve seen them about 5 times over the years). Here’s a scan of the VIP pass I had.

And finally I have also registered andrewlamarche.net so you can get to the site through either the .net or .com address. I Have also moved the site to a new server, so far everything seems to be working fine. Let me know if anything seems wacky.

Capital Music Conference

I will playing with both THERMOclinE and Tammy Raybould at Barrymore’s Music Hall in Ottawa as part of the Capital Music Conference, both on the same night, June 16th.

I am now using the Sabian Triple Hi-hat, it’s quite cool. I’ve had it for about a month now and I’ve done all my gigs and rehearsals with it. It took a few gigs to get used to it, but it’s cool now, you have to check it out if you haven’t seen it yet.

BANDS ON THE RUN

By Ian Nathanson, Ottawa Sun

WHAT’S UP, DOCS: If a shoe company is looking to sponsor THERMOclinE, it likely won’t be Doc Marten. Seems to be a sore spot — literally — whenever it’s mentioned to guitarist Aaron Kronis or drummer Andrew Lamarche. In Toronto attending Lollapalooza ’97, Kronis, bassist Jason Young and lead singer Graham Machacek were checking out Artifical Joy Club (Lamarche used to be AJC’s drummer). As fans were throwing objects at the band, Lamarche retaliated by hurling a Doc Marten boot into the crowd, inadvertently knocking Kronis unconscious. “The security guards up front brought him forward and had us go with them backstage to the medical tent,” Young explains. “Then we saw Lamarche walk by and went over to talk to him.” When all was sorted out, Lamarche wound up becoming such good pals with THERMOclinE, he would later become a member. THERMOclinE will perform in a non-shoe-throwing zone at Barrymore’s Saturday to honour the release of their full-length debut, Negative One.

Samples from the New THERMOclinE CD

Samples from the new THERMOclinE CD are now up on the THERMOsitE.

I finally had a chance to get to the Sabian Cymbals factory in Meductic, New Brunswick, on our way back home from some dates in eastern Canada with Tammy Raybould. It was very cool seeing the whole process of how the cymbals are made, and the amount of work and high quality standards they have.

Tammy’s show at Barrymore’s last week will be televised in May, dates will be on the site when I get details.

January Update

After a nice quiet December and the uneventful Y2K stuff, I am hoping things will get busier soon again after a much needed break.

I will be playing with Tammy Raybould tomorrow in Toronto at Lee’s Palace and then on Saturday the 15th at Zaphod’s 2 in Ottawa.

You should be seeing Tammy’s new video soon, director Dennis Beauchamps and crew did a really good job on it.
