November Update

Just completed recording for Sarah Sedgman‘s upcoming album. Look for a CD release party in January 2002.

I also was in the studio with Robert Farrell, tracking some music for a instructional video for a sports product.

The Artificial Joy Club web site is back up, thanks to Craig Schock who has been looking after the server where it’s hosted. I still get quite a bit of e-mail about Artificial Joy Club. The site doesn’t have anything new on it, it’s just up for all the fans who are looking for it.

I have been using the Pearl Rythm Traveler Kit for The Long Goners gigs and some rehearsals. It’s very cool and it’s really portable. It is quite good sounding as well, for the size of the drums, they are very punchy and have good attack. I’m hoping to try it out in the studio some time soon.

June Update

One of the tracks I recorded with Robert Farrell, “Hug Me, Squeeze Me,” is up to number 23 today (in between Linkin Park and Faith Hill) on the MP3.com top 40 chart. You can download some of Robert’s music at MP3.com or check out my MP3.com station that has downloads of artists that I have played with.

A few gigs coming up this week, Wednesday is The Long Goners, a cover band that I have been playing with for the last few weeks, I still tell them I’m filling in, but I think I’m their drummer now. The Long Goners play drinkin’ music, some rock, celtic and a few surprises that I won’t tell you about. Aaron Saloman‘s CD release party is on Thursday at Climax (the old Molly McGuire’s) with opening act Sarah Sedgman (doing an acoustic set). Friday is Robert Farrell at the Whipping Post and Saturday is THERMOclinE at the CHEO BBQ with a few other great bands. Check my gigs page for other upcoming dates.

On the gear side of things, I have started using the new Sabian HHX 14″ Power Hi-hats and the 20″ Power Ride, they sound great, I can’t say enough good things about them. See my gear page for my current cymbal set-up.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I know I haven’t done an update in a while but things have been a bit crazy. Not a lot of live dates the past little while, but other “behind the scenes” kind of stuff going on, and it seems to take up a lot of my time. Learning songs, writing charts, web stuff and my life, etc.

Tammy Raybould and band had it’s first live performance in Ottawa in quite some time last week, the show featured some of Tammy’s new material and over the x-mas holidays I redid her web site (www.tammyraybould.com), which once again I was supposed to do for a long time.

Other exciting news for Tammy is that “Loving You” is being featured on “Dawson’s Creek” Episode #70 (#412 “The Te Of Pacey”) which aired in the U.S. yesterday and in Canada on Friday, January 19th. See the “Dawson’s Creek Music Guide” web site.

THERMOclinE‘s video release party, for “Vacant Lot” is this coming weekend (Jan. 20th @ Barrymore’s Music Hall in Ottawa). I have put a up a 30-second clip of the video on the site. The CD “Negative ONE” is being re-released on Sony Imports/Sour Music/Stamina Records in Canada in March. The radio and video campaign starts in February, stay tuned for more info.

I am also playing and recording with singer/songwriter/guitarist Aaron Saloman. He has some cool stuff going on. And playing bass is my buddy “G-ham” — Andy Graham from the TRB band.

I had a quick little last minute session at the beginning of the year with singer/songwriter Susan Wheatley.

The Sarah Sedgman gig in December was cool, there is a possibility of more dates sometime in the future. The band featured Sarah on acoustic guitar and vocals, Colin Mills (from the TRB band) on guitar, Mike Easton and Mike Yelle from Garrity on acoustic guitar and bass. See Sarah’s web site for more info.

If you haven’t been to my site in a while I’ve started to add some photos (possibly some embarrassing ones!), video and audio stuff. I still have a ton more to put on, just not enough time. Unfortunately because of my rush in doing things there are some broken links, so please be calm and don’t freak out. More stuff will be coming soon.

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.
