My Night At Tonic!

DavidDBMWP — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 22:05:49 +0000

I’m not a fan of bars so much – the music is usually too loud, the staff are rude and it’s a general air of arrogance that goes along with the scene – so when I was given an opportunity to play at Tonic Nighclub in Vancouver – I was apprehensive to say the least.

But after last night I can definitely say that Tonic is not the typical nightclub. First of all the sound guy had a sense of humour never before seen in my 10 years of performing live. Thank you Mickey – if you are out there and you happen to read my blog! The staff were all friendly, helpful and completely not what the norm in my experience of clubbing has been! So for those people that stayed in town for the long weekend to take in Jessica Beach, Garrett Kato and myself last night, it just topped off the night to be able to perform to such a welcoming crowd – sing-a-longs, clap-a-longs and random cheering made the night extremely special as I played never before heard songs that I’ve been writing over the past few months!!

I can’t wait for my second show in a week at Waves Coffee on Howe St this coming Friday – an intimate show with my drummer on a hand drum – again – showing off new songs and just generally loving people! I’m off to LA on the 16^th and shall be in touch soon!!
yours, David

New shows, brand new songs…

Tonight is the night before my first Saturday night show in Vancouver in a looong time – probably in a year – and I’m excited to unveil some brand new songs that haven’t been performed before! I’ve been working a bit like a mad scientist in a 4 walled studio and haven’t been sharing my new creations – how selfish of me right?! Well no more – so my cellist and drummer have worked hard to make sure they sound good for you tomorrow at Tonic in Vancouver!

In 2 weeks I’ll be flying to LA and playing some shows around that town – Hollywood, Catalina Island and San Diego for the Speedfest on Coronado Island! I’m not gonna lie – its kinda like a little vacation – its gonna be a blast – I’ll definitely be putting pictures of my adventure online though – facebook and the like!! Hopefully I’ll get into trouble and I’ll have pirate adventures and crazy escapes!! haha I shall be posting songs to iTunes for availability very soon – as the changing atmosphere in the music industry continues to go digital – I shall meet it there – which means you!! J Talk to ya soon!!

Speeding, Animals, and beginning to appreciate taking my time…

I’ve struggled with patience my whole life but didn’t really realize it til this year as I finally got tired of paying for traffic tickets – I’ve been averaging one to two a year for nearly 17 years now – which begins to add up after awhile! Not to mention I’ve been rear-ended, T-boned, I’ve rearended someone and I’ve hit a bird, raccoon, rabbit and recently a skunk…for someone that speeds – I’m a slow learner! Though I’m just appreciating taking my time now, I think I really started to ease up when I finished driving 15,000 km last year on tour in 3 months! I’m just finishing up the video blogs now on youtube – so be sure to check them out!
I’m currently working on the second part of my trip to Philadelphia and onto New Jersey and New York! I’ve done blogs so far on BC, AB, SK, MB, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois (Chicago Specifically) Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania! Highlights that you’ll see in the videos will be the Rockies, the partying in Saskatoon til the sunrise and having the cops show up, seeing where Prince first played in Minneapolis, tasting all the different types of cheeses in Wisconsin, the 4th of July in Chicago and some really crazy people there, cheap beer in Ohio and the Amish in Pennsylvania still riding horse and buggy! Enjoy as I finish up the rest of the blogs in the coming weeks!

yours, David
