Chris solo shows: Mark Davis comes to Ottawa and Wakefield this week!



.: Chris and Mark play 'in the round' with Lorrie Matheson and Jill Zmud last year in Calgary :.

With all the Camp Radio excitement lately, I gotta tell ya that I haven't forgotten about my solo chops.

I'm accompanying my pal Mark Davis in these parts when he comes to town to celebrate the release of 'Eliminate the Toxins' with shows at the Elmdale and Kaffe 1870 this week (Wednesday and Friday, respectively).

You should really try to get out for one (or both!) of these...his new album is fantastic and WILL be on many critics' year end lists. Mark has both vinyl and CD copies with him.

Vancouver's Sarah Wheeler is also on both bills. I think the plan is to play 'in the round', festival style, for both shows. Should be super fun...hope to see you out and supporting indie musicians on tour! Cheers!

How The West Was Won?


.: To think David Lee Roth needed a harness to do this :.

Camp Radio's western whirlwind tour was just beyond incredible. Estee on a plane! We flew out, played 4 shows in 3 days and made solid use of a rented RV in our indie rock swagger process.

As expected the Saved by Vinyl BBQ was a huge, crazy hit and the steady flow of Calgarians/Sled Island revelers was constant and super enthusiastic. And the pics are pretty awesome thanks to Kenneth Locke.

Mark Davis's release shows were great as well...it was good to get the band up to Edmonton and break the Camp Radio ice in that fine city. With the official Socialista party just around the corner, a Camp Radio return sooner than later might just be in the cards.

(Special thanks to Lees and J-Rock for being an amazing crew...hope to have you guys on the road again soon!)
