Novels is a band that features me, Dean from EX~PO as well as Luke LaLonde (Born Ruffians), Will Currie (Country French), Jay Sad and Graham Wright (Tokyo Police Club).  People thought we were being mysterious by not widely releasing our little record, which was recorded in a single marathon session at Chemical Sound.  Well, the truth about Novels (and our apparent "mysteriousness" was revealed in an article by Brendan Kennedy in today's Toronto Star (Sunday, Dec 20, Entertainment section page 2). 

Here's a link to an electronic version of the article:

The making of NOVELS (what we did in the studio for 15 hours)  was documented by filmmaker Wade Vroom and photographer Lesley Marino.  Visit http://www.okaynovels.com to see photos and the film!

Hi,

On December 10th we will be playing the Tranzac (292 Brunswick Ave) to support Lesley Marino's trip to Uganda.  There, she will be photographing the good work of the NGO, Ryan's Well.  Sharing the bill will be LITTLE FOOT LONG FOOT, LOVELY KILLBOTS and JM McNABB!  $10 gets you in.  There will also be a silent auction and raffle!

777 is a magic number.  We are super close to having 777 friends here on myspace (www.myspace.com/extildepo).  When we reach that number, I'm going to do something special here.  Check back and friend us if you haven't already! 


Meanwhile, we've been writing, jamming and recording at our space, Chemical Sound.  We hope to start seriously recording in February and have our new record out by September.  Stay tuned for more new album news.

Hi Folks,

Two things:  1) The folks in Krupke have created an awesome video (commercial?) for our show at Bread and Circus this Friday (13th of November).  Watch it and get psyched!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqut6Qplyrg and 2) A pretty girl named Raina asked us to be a part of a contest on Edge102.   The winning band plays the Edge studio on November 28.  So if you want to see us live again go here: http://www.edge.ca/Music/IndieOnline/Home.aspx and vote for EX~PO.
