LISTEN: Synthcake “Musicophilia”
Lana Pitre is the vocal ring-master of Synthcake for this swirling circus of sythns, accordions and glockenspiels (oh my!). It’s pop from under the big top with rump-shaking beats for the main tent pole and creepy keyboards in the sideshow.
[“Musicophilia” was added to rotation this week on CBC Radio 3]
I’m playing a lot over the next couple of weeks. It’s going to be sweet.
Friday April 6th - Antiparty at the Railway
Saturday April 7th - Antiparty at LanaLou’s
Thursday April 12th - Capilano A Band with Karrin Allyson
Friday April 13th - Synthcake and Facts at The Waldorf
And probably some more after that but this is as far ahead as I’m prepared to think right now.
New Synthcake single out today!
This is another recording my jazz combo from Capilano University made. You should listen to this one right after:

I recorded trumpet on this album for the cats in Facts. And though it was through tragic circumstances, I also starred in their music video for “Retro Oceans” which should be out in a few months. My band Synthcake is opening for them on their EP release at the Waldorf on Friday April 13th, and I will also be playing a few numbers with Facts after.

Playing trumpet in Criminal Caterpillar’s “Before The Wind Swept You Away”. Wah pedal trumpet solo. Oooohh yeeeaaaaahhh.
