November, 2010

I’ve ashamedly fronted on a lot of Aussie rock bands for years. One particular band being Something For Kate. Sure, I’d heard the name in the last decade or so but never paid attention.

That was until we bumped into SFK’s singer/songwriter Paul Dempsey in the elevator at CMJ in New York City a month or so ago. He took the time to chat to us, and we managed to catch him live twice while we were in town, and last weekend here in Toronto at the Drake. His solo album, ‘Everything Is True’, is fucking brilliant, to say the least. The main singles and videos from the album have the damn embed code disabled (from Paul’s official page), so here are my two favourite songs from Paul anyway – ‘Safety In Numbness’ live in NYC, and new song ‘We’ll Never Work In This Town Again’. There’s also a great video of Paul being interviewed in Melbourne about his songwriting process. Dude’s a genius, straight up.

So my over-indulgence, combined with this freezing Canadian weather, have resulted in a bit of bed-ridden flu steez. A good friend passed me some links of some amazing documentaries and interviews to help pass the time, so I thought I’d share them with y’all. The first one is a brilliant interview with Mr David Icke, a personal favourite of mine. The other two are to do with the late Aaron Russo, Hollywood producer and freedom fighter. One is a fantastic interview conducted by Alex Jones, and the other is Mr Russo’s film ‘America: Freedom Or Fascism’. Go educate yourselves.

Caught this on Twitter today. Shouts to the homie Israel, dude is making power moves. It looks like he got signed to Cash Money in the US, and if that is the case, huge props from the whole Fam bro! Dope video too, filmed during his travels…

Aight folks, my apologies for the lack of posts. My laptop screen died (still dead at this point) so I’m borrowing Notion’s joint when I can. I’ma keep the blog as updated as possible but please bare with us.

So the homie Emilio is back with his third full length tape in the last year or so, ‘Life Without Shame’ with DJ Green Lantern (and Travis Barker’s label Famous Stars & Straps) again. This joint was recorded over a 2-3 week period in Atlanta with some great guests and production. I’ve only taken a quick listen thus far but from what I heard and saw at A3C in Atlanta recently, this shit is a heater. Cop that free, hit us with your thoughts!

Really dope interview and featurette on the homegirl Eternia from the guys at Cypher. Watch and learn. I’ve known the girl for 7 years and I learned shit from this interview lol

Rae is everywhere these days. Peep the visuals for Travis Barker’s ’Give The Drummer Some’ album’s latest single ‘Carry It’, also featuring Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine and RZA. The album should drop sometime next year

The latest single off the now classic ‘Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt 2′, Rae dropped visuals for the ODB dedication ‘Ason Jones’. Brilliant song, awesome clip, gave me chills.

It’s live!

Finally, Cee & Bekah‘s debut compilation album, ‘The Soul Movement Originals’ is up and ready to go on iTunes!

We even included an iTunes-only bonus track – ‘Livin’ This Life’ with Toronto’s Theology3 and produced by Hustle Beats (Sydney by way of TO) for y’all.

Thanks for all the support thus far. You can still cop the album free via Cee & Bekah’s Bandcamp page and donate to Ovarian Cancer Research, but if you want to support us on iTunes we’d love that too.

We’re excited to announce we’re rocking our first live show outside of Australia this evening in Toronto!

The good folks at Freedom Clothing Collective asked us to rock at their Freedom Rent Party tonight, and we’re vibed as hell!

Myself, Notion and Bekah will be rocking a 40 minute set introducing Canadians to The Fam, plus a bit of an acoustic interlude, so it should be a lot of fun. If you’re in the area, we’re on at 9pm so swing by! We’ll have tshirts, tank tops and CDs for sale too.

Venue: The Piston
Address: 937 Bloor St W, Toronto
Time: Doors at 8pm
Acts: The Movement Fam @ 9, Hellaluya @ 10, Light Work @ 11
Cover: $5 = all money goes to fund the non-profit Freedom Clothing Collective

See y’all there!

I love, love, love this woman. Everything about her is amazing. Her songwriting is crazy unique, and her latest single, ’10 Seconds’, is no different. Angry broads will relate to this one (especially the kidnapping thing) as much as they did to ‘Bust Your Windows’. Incredible. Come to Toronto and release the album already!
