Greetings supportive friends and peers,

.. ..

This long-overdue blog post has roots in late-autumn, as the wind got colder, the leaves fell to the ground, and On Bodies began working on a six-song EP at Digital Bird Studios with Martin Horn (a mere coincidence that we chose to record during the darkest of seasons, or another example of hopefully-humorous goth-influence? Not sure). We are nearing the end of the mixing process, which has followed a four day/week recording process sustained by hundreds of coffees, teas, beer, buffalo wing and/or brown rice chips, vegan sandwiches, poutine, and T-Ho’s breakfast sandwiches (our food choices potentially reflect the musical dynamics and variety that can be expected on the EP). We have had the great experience of using some awesome instruments (a Rhodes, an analog synth, an organette and a *cough* tambourine), we’ve had some great musical and vocal help from friends, we’ve negotiated artistic and reflexive conflict on a city bus following a field recording in NDG with an upright piano, and we’ve overcome concerns that vocals were not sounding “badass enough,” or too “barfy,” like muppets, or a “musical theatre villain.” As of now, things are sounding great (or “epic,” or “totally epic”), and a HUGE thanks goes out to everyone who has been involved in the process so far, especially Marty (who has taught us much about recording, reverb, and affinity/infinity groups). Stay posted for news about release dates and show dates.

Cum one, cum all!This fabulous, volunteer-run zine is quite expensive to create and needs your support! We are asking you and your friends to bid on the generously donated items in this on-line auction to raise funds and help recoup printing costs. Our fund raising goal this issue is $3000, which is how much it costs to print Lickety Split 5. Our launch date is for November 3rd! So help out in the way that you can! Lickety Split zine has been working hard for over four years to represent the pansexual and sex-positive community of Montreal in a way that is handmade and unique. Auction open until October 18th.

On Friday, May 18th On Bodies will be playing @ Main Hall as part of the
super fabulous Anarchist Cabaret, a fundraiser for Montreal's infamous
Anarchist Bookfair. Other bands/acts include Marnie and Melissa, Sara
Mangle, Alden Penner, Paula Belina, Amal El Masri, and Please Don't Put
Charles on The Money.

If that wasn't exciting enough, On Bodies will also be launching a five song EP
entitled "Throat Demos" which will be available at the show. Recorded in the winter of 2007, "Throat Demos" is On Bodies' first collection of songs and comes in a hand-printed limited edition sleeve. Thanks to Marty and Nick @ Secret Maoist Radio Repair for the recordings, and Farah from house4road9.com for the stunning design.

On a more sombre note, May 18th will also be James' last show with On
Bodies. So everybody come on out and show James some On Bodies love. I'm sure he'd appreciate it!

Our five song demo/ep is oh so close to completion. Thanks to Nick and Marty for all their amazing help!

with love,
on booooodies

is the new name. Hell yeah!!!
