As the new album creeps closer to completion, more songs have been squeezing through the cracks and out into the world. Justin has recently started writing some topical satire for CBC Radio One's show On The Go, which airs every weekday evening here in NL as well as streaming online. So far, they've aired one called "Not In My Backyard" about the perils of allowing the construction of a new seniors' home, and "Let Us Learn", about how wonderful it is that some NL students will no longer be able to participate in school trips overseas.
These songs, and whatever others may follow, will be posted online soon for anyone who missed the broadcasts! Follow us on Facebook to be notified when each new song goes to air.
I (Justin) am just back from a wonderful couple of weeks staying with Byron and his lovely family up in Goose Bay, Labrador. You can check out a CBC radio piece about the workshops I gave at the Labrador Creative Arts Festival. You may remember that Byron and I did a filmmaking workshop there 4 years ago, resulting in the Close To You video. After the Festival clued up on Tuesday, Byron and I had a few days to hang out and work on the album. We actually got a surprisingly large amount accomplished! It's very exciting to see this project coming so close to completion!
A friend of ours asked us to post Keep The Hope (The Moustache Song) from our first album. We put together a quick slideshow to accompany it, featuring all sorts of moustachish goodness. It's posted in our new Youtube account, which will hopefully soon be home a some new and exciting things. So do feel free to subscribe so you can be the first to see and hear what's coming up!
Keren Ann just posted her four favourite remixes out of the over 60 submitted so far, and ours is one of them!! We're flattered and very excited that she's enjoying our effort. If you haven't yet taken a listen, please do!
Well after a few minor technical hiccups, we are proud to present the first new recorded Ticklish Brother material in quite some time! It's not, however, from the upcoming album. It's a remix of a song by a favourite artist of ours, Keren Ann. The song is called My Name Is Trouble, and it's the first single from her upcoming album "101". The Ticklish Brother version strips away the drums, guitar and keyboards and replaces them with lots of choral goodness. It's not necessarily what you'd expect, and we hope you'll enjoy it. You can check out the original version on youtube, and then give ours a listen on the remix site.
