brasstronaut & isenseven & russia

While there are no official music videos for any songs on Mt. Chimaera, here's an out-take from the brand new German Isenseven snowboard vid, set to our song hand behind. Just click off the annoying Coors ad when you hit play.

Tonight we're playing in SHEFFIELD UK!

Tschüss :)

We are now inside the mother England. After not sleeping for almost 35 hours played our first show at the Brixton Windmill to a surpisingly room full of welcoming people. Last night at the "Underbelly" was also great, followed by a Vietnamese feast somewhere in Hackney. Jetlag isn't so bad this time, but that's thanks to someone tipping me off about the anti-jet-lag diet.

Echo Prize WIN!

Thanks to everyone who voted for us to win the Echo Prize. Today was a very happy day and I can't even begin to express the immense elation we felt upon hearing the news. Just ate a big bowl of pho and am now celebrating by listening to the new Luke Abbott album, Holkham Drones, really really loudly. See you in England next week, and I'll be posting regular updates right here. -edo

VOTE BRASSTRONAUT FOR ECHO PRIZE 2010!

Every year 5 Canadian songs are nominated for the Echo Prize a national songwriting award hosted by SOCAN with the winner decided by public vote.

Our song HEARTS TROMPET is currently in the running, and we NEED YOUR WEB VOTE! Just go to this LINK and vote only once, since multiple votes will nullify your entry (that is if you are voting from the same computer).

So yes, please vote, because if we win then we won't be wildly in debt for plane tickets that we just bought to go to the UK in October.

big up my own self

New Forms Festival (NFF 10) is happening again in Vancouver. I have a solo minimal electro project called RESORTS. Sam plays EWI with me sometimes, and it's very different from Brass. You can check out our public debut next Friday, Sept. 10th at the W2 space, which is part of the new Woodwards building complex.

We have no myspace or any songs available online, so you must come to see the live act to hear the tunez.
