stuff we’re doing. stuff we like. stuff we’re thinking about. stuff like that.
I talked to Jeff Lee of minisystem over the weekend. He’s excited about working on one of remixes, and we’re incredibly excited about having him do something with our songs. His first release on Noise Factory, madingly, is lush, rich and melodic as all hell. Can’t wait to hear what he does.
Like everybody else, we’re on twitter: http://twitter.com/thecrafteconomy.
All of our work is released under a Creative Commons license, but we’d also like to help people creative derivative works. To that end, let us know if you’d like to remix any of our tracks from the new EP.
We’ll send you whatever you want, you remix it in whatever way you want, and license it under the same Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license. And if it is good, like really good, maybe we can put it on our next CD single, due for this spring (and even give you a cut of all the millions we’re making doing this music thing). Email us at theband@thecrafteconomy.com if you’d like to remix something.
We’re going to be on CIUT this Friday, sometime around 4:30 - 5:00. Alexandra Simion will be hosting us on ‘Dreaming In Stereo’. We won’t be playing, just talking about ourselves like the megalomaniacs we are.
Then we go on and play Pop Noir at the Boat on Augusta. We’ll be on around 10:15.

We’ve just confirmed a date - May 7th - to play the Discover Indie Festival in Montreal. Cool part is that we’ll be playing with The Bicycles, another great band from Toronto.
Apparently it’s true, according to CHARTattack. If you’ve been requesting us, seriously, we can’t say thanks enough. It’s pretty awesome to create a completely independently produced album and have it chart at all, let alone #3.
Not only that, but it is “the highest re-entry in the history of the top 50 chart. A few albums have re-entered the top 20, but not the top five.”
So thanks!
We appear on IndieCan Radio episode 111 this week, along with Spiral Beach, Elliott Brood and 54 40 (yes, apparently they’re still around!).
