Re: rich

jale have infact released three vids for their Closed ep
how did they afford it
one "Double Edge" was sponsored by VideoFACT and the other two
Jesus Loves Me and Long way Home were hand made at very low cost, shot on 
Super eight by Eve-Jesus Loves Me, and Jennifer-Long Way Home
and they were eddited with the help of Ann Verrall at the Center For rt 
Tapes, an Artist run Center here in Halifax.
You do not need $20 000 to make a video
just a great idea, it is the perfect oportunity for those 
Spike Jonzes who think music is cool but there skills are visual not 
musical...

Re: Jale, tour?? New Release??

1995-12-15 Thread colin mackenzie
jale will be doing a crazy 20 -21 date Canadian tour at some point this 
summer or fall, there will be an initial "regular spots" tour, of course.
Last summer's tour was a great time, they loved it and feel badly that 
they have not toured Canada more, but they will be making up for it.

Re: yay for indie hour..

1995-11-15 Thread colin mackenzie
Ashley asked jale to sit in on one of his songs and the song is a cover 
of a bob snider tune "what an idiot he is" kind of a goofy song but jale 
had lots of fun doing it you can hear Alyson MacLeod at the begining 
asking if all are ready.
Ashley..is nuts..but in a good way, there is also Gordy Johnson and Ian 
Blurton on the record.

Ok I do not know why I did not think of this before but..
here is the deal, no one are bigger fans of The Super friendz than you 
folks, except for those of you who think they stink.. but anyway
it looks like The Chart, or Chart will be putting the Super Friendz on 
the cover next issue and they want a list of fans who might be interested 
in getting a copy of the cover made into a poster... for free.

I am thinking this is a good deal and since the Super Friendz did not get 
there act together enough on the last tour to put out an address book I 
thought I would ask any one interested to send your snail mail address to 
me and I will pass it along to Chart, a poster should come in time for 
Christmas.

please do not label me marketing devil, I thought it might be cool


the Al Tuck posters will be available a little latter on...

take care

Re: Al Tuck bad choice?

1995-11-08 Thread colin mackenzie
ok listen you pop rock kids, just because you can not mosh to something 
does not mean it is not cool. Yea the Super Friendz are amazing, but if 
you want to look a little closer at the music instead of just the "cool: 
you will find that Al Tuck has had a great influence on many of the Super 
Friendz, both Matt and Charles played in his band. Rather than 
discounting it as boring, perhaps you could sit down and let the music 
sink in. Al by all counts, Chris Murphy too, is a genius song writer, and 
if you can sit through a Sebadoh album then surely to God you can take a 
minute and discover somthing that has not bee spoon fed to you by Much 
Music, Spin,or Ray Gun.

lucky for you all Al will be back through on the way back.
