This song will be featured on an upcoming project I have started working on with some fantastic musicians around town. It details the story of a your android who was created to help a research scientist around the lab. When the scientist dies, the android is left without supervision, to tragic effect. This project will hopefully be ready for the stage come the new year.

Clockwork Boy

This is another song to soon hit the stage with our folk/sci-fi/funk project which is now unborn, yet pushes against the walls of its embryo. It details the headspace of a extra-terrestrial entity which has the ability to change its shape. One would think this ability would be a benefit, but for many shapeshifters life can be hard.

Shapeshifter

This song was recorded at Auroratone studios, 2013, with Ivan Klipstein recording and playing some rhythm instruments. The lovely backing voice you hear was done by Lee Gellatly.

Boredom

This is a song from the band I was in before I moved to montreal. It was called Bombay Laughing Club. Five of us tree planters rented a cabin for the winter in a remarkably strange little town outside of Kamloops BC for the winter and recorded more than 80 songs. This is one of them. The man you hear screaming in the intro, who will remain nameless, was an unfortunate Mexican love slave who belonged to the guy who ran an illegal bar that was just up the hill. He would get hammered and come interrupt our work on a regular basis. The singer is Owen Suppes, the Drummer is Xoph, all the guitars were done by my brother Chuck Rainville and I played bass and saxophones.

Planet 5

This song is from the First Unsettlers Album. Bad Uncle ended up covering it for a tag team show we did together (BU and The Unsettlers) at Katacombes many years back. We ended up recording it in D'Arcy's basement apartment when we tracked Are you There God. It never made the album because it wasn't really ready. Its not really ready now either, but I'd hate to sit on it forever.

Signing off on the Sleepiest of Eyes

This one got done in the okanagan valley, at the boiler room.

Pickpocket And Run Take Two Nm

This is a song about a haunted scarecrow who takes his guardianship of the fields a little to seriously. Birds, children and farmers pay the ultimate price. Recorded in Park Ex on my multi tracker in 2009. 

Beware the Scarecrow

Fantastic

This song was recorded at Brads Studio, with Mike and me also there. It depicts the age old rivalry between the Prodigal sorcerer and the royal assassin. Perfect opponents in an imperfect world. 

Royal Assasin vs Prodigal Sorcerer

This song is based on one of the biggestnastiest heavy hitters of the late 90's. A somewhat obsolete card now, but back in the day. . . .woah! 

LORDOFTHEPIT

Post Motown sex music to sooth the obsolescence of humanity. 

Cyborg, Cyclops

An apocalyptic  love song inspired by Black Sabbath.

Have You No Honor

The Carpenter, by Firecrotch. Recorded in a utility shed with Gwil on moog synth, Skidley on drums, Ben on circular Saw, Jamie on guitar, and me on saxophone and keys.

The Carpenter

Pi on drums, Santosh on everything else.Recorded on a 90's digital multi tracker, over the course of three years. . Good fun.

Hyundai

Another salvage from the old multi tracker. Christian on tuba, Eli on trombone, Alex on drums, Trevor on back vocals, me on all the other stuff. Lockpicker.

Lockpicker

Aly Neuman on drums, me the other stuff. Urban vehicle paranoia. Red Light.

Red Light Master

Adult Contemporary educational song for children. Aly Neuman on drums and back vocals. Mike Rigby on Piano. Santosh on other stuff.

Numbers

Me and Pi recorded this carribean opera in his basement home studio. All the instruments were done by me and Pi witht he exception of the PS3 which was played by Pi's Roomate. Was it Doug or Poca?

You do baby

This hateful rant againt promiscuality was also recorded in Pi's basement studio. All of the songs on this album were as a matter of face. We got Paul and Lucas from Street Meet to play violin and clarinet (in that order) and had Eli, do Tuba and trombone. The song was based on a modified version of an old riff that Pi's had kicking around for a couple of years and an old poem I wrote in my teens as a sexualy fustrated goth kid. 

Chasety

this is a little ditty from my sci-fi bluegrass album, Galactic Tax Soloutions. The theme of this song is the certainty that human beings, as we know them, will become obsolete after cybernetic enhancements become commercially accessible. 

Cyborg See, Cyborg Do

This is one of my favorite songs from our upcoming Ep that we are going to launch on November 29th at Theatre St Catherines. Its all about the importance of personal hygene. There are numerous special guests on this track. We've got ALi Neumann from The Dirt Cheap Winos doing backing vocals, Lucas Choi Zimbel from Street Meat on clarinet, Aviva from Barons of Tang doing bass clarinet and Yannie paradis from Die Sashiko doing backing vocals, as well as Pi, from Steady swagger playing drums (along with rythm setting 47 and 49 on a casio C-1200). This one will be hard to pull off live. 

Keep things clean

Heres a little ditty I wrote a few years back. Good music to squirm in guilt to.
