Querkus News - June 2003
A long, long overdue HELLO!!!!
We missed you all so much over the past few months; now its time to stop
consoling ourselves with alcohol and drugs and make contact once again. Rest
assured Querkus did NOT die, Querkus is ready for so much more than that.
So what happened? Here goes it all -- well, as you may or may not recall last
August Edgar and I took "Introduction to Electronic Dance Music Production" at
Precursor Productions and found it exceptionally rewarding. We got a studio
computer shortly after and then skipped town for a few weeks to tour in eastern
Canada. When we returned, we got into three main projects - rewriting all our
old material with our new-fangled technologies, getting our website remade, and
gettting our new CD live together that was recorded during a show we played in
Toronto.
Sadly, these things do not happen overnight...
So, that brings me to the here and now. We are still recovering our old
material, and much new material is being writ. We are having our first ever
live show with this new stuff on Sunday, June 8th at 8pm at the Empire Cabaret
as part of The Flames of New Orleans: a Masquerade. This the the "Pride
Cabaret" portion of the Pride Winnipeg festival. Tickets are $15 Happenings,
Gio's, Club 200, McNally Robinson, and Discreet Boutique. Doors open at 7:30,
masks and costumes thouroughly encouraged but not mandatory. Please come out
and say hi, we miss you. If you can 't make it (or if you want to see us again
soon), come out to St. Norbert Art Centre (where the first Querkus show ever
took place) on Saturday, June 21st for a Solstice Party extrordinaire. There
will be TONNES of stuff happening there, including workshops in Celtic Music by
Ten Bones and The Living Earth Culture Village -- I love SNAC and go out there
often, if you have never been out there I can't recommend it enough. For more
info: www.snac.mb.ca
The CD? We should be printing them over the next 2 weeks, and will release it
on Saturday, July 5th the Blue Agave as part of Havana, a night of downtempo
and tribal house put on by Precursor Productions. We will be playing a full 45
minute set and have a LIMITED number of CDs - we are only printing 100 of
them. They will contain 9 live tracks, 2 new studio tracks we made at
Precursor Productions, and the remix of October 16 by Joe Silva. Yay!!
The website? GO AND CHECK IT OUT RIGHT NOW!
