Touches

Polishing up some new songs.

Can't Tell Them Apart At All

This David Bowie cover of Andy Warhol was recorded at Kina's cottage just north of Montreal. We were writing Awake at the time and luckily had a few mics around to capture it. It was only played live a handful of times but it seemed to always get a good response.

As The Poets Affirm - AndyWarhol.mp3

We'll probably post more demos from that weekend.

The Bait and Switch

We'd like to apologize to everyone who came out to see us play at the Mocking Music showcase on Saturday expecting the door to be $6, as it had been advertised on the flyer, but ended up paying $10.

It was completely out of our control, but we promise not to let that happen ever again.

However, we hope everyone enjoyed themselves regardless and would like to thank My Dad vs. Yours and Rock Plaza Central for a great time.

Gang of Seven

Here are some photos Alex took at soundcheck last night. Thanks to everyone for coming. We'll be announcing a few more shows in the near future (including stops in/around Toronto).

Remember

Just a show reminder for tonight (January 13th (thanks for pointing out our mistake, anonymous)):

Zaphod Beeblebrox w/ Rock Plaza Central and My Dad vs. Yours

Also! We're on the charts again (see here).

Experi-Pop-Smart Joy-Jams

Some kind words about our latest release Awake from ChartAttack:

"As The Poets Affirm — Awake: For striking the perfect balance among experimentation, pop smarts and joyful jams."

Don't forget to check Awake out on Zunior.
