NEW RELEASE
The wonderful people from Donkaster Elektronische Freundschaft in Yorkshire, UK have released a new compilation entitled Sea, Sun, Synth and Sand; 14 coldwave/synthpop songs from inventive artists in the UK and elsewhere.
And TRatS' song Hollow is on it (our first international appearance)
It is a free download on bandcamp
but a limited number of lucky ones received a CD copy when they attended the first anniversary of the D.E.F. club night at the Vintage Rockbar in Doncaster, UK on July 19th.
It's already getting support from Canadian and UK college radio (who have always been great to the project - thanks)!
Lots of great artists on this comp: Rosssetti's Compass (with members of Attrition and Apoptygma Berzerk!), Jan Doyle Band, The Webb, Izzie Voodoo, and (Nelson, BC's own) Meter Bridge, just to name a few...

Scin Laeca is extremely happy to announce that we've added Trevor Thompson to our band. Trevor is an excellent guitarist, keyboardist, bassist, and songwriter, and has been the leader of his own project, The Rain and The Sidewalk for many years. Trevor is a perfect fit for us, and has added tremendous depth to our sound. We have been writing a lot of new material with him, and we can't wait to play it live!

Regret was playlisted on the adventurous radio program KICKS EXTREME RADIO on FM station RADIO CENTRAAL in Antwerp, Belgium in November!

Indie Pop Vancouver series featuring:
Combine the Victorious
The Population Drops
and special guest The Rain and the Sidewalk
Combine the Victorious has just returned from their first European tour, where they released their brand new Crumbling Hearts EP in Stockholm Sweden. They will be performing songs from that EP as well as a few reworked older songs and personal favorite covers.
http://combinethevictorious.bandcamp.com/album/crumbling-hearts
The Population Drops are rapidly gaining notoriety in Vancouver with their post-punk sound and underground sensibility. Bridging the style and New York and Manchester, The Pop Drops offer a fresh take on music with social commentary
http://soundcloud.com/the-population-drops/sets/enough-ep/
The Rain and the Sidewalk is a (sometimes) one man music machine. Trevor creates driving electronic sounds with solid pop music esthetics.

30+ bands
Chapel Arts 304 Dunlevy Street (Vancouver)
As usual The Rain and the Sidewalk (Trevor solo version) played a short set (among about 30 other bands)...
blurb!
Once again it's time to celebrate the Faceplant creative community. Since 1992 Faceplant studios have provided a top flight rehearsal facility for Vancouver musicians. To many of us Faceplant is more than a roof under which we rehearse; It is a family, a community and an entity that is greater than the sum of its parts. Please join us At Chapel Arts, Saturday November 24th from 7pm to 1am as 25 (or more) of our favorite acts preform for you listening pleasure. With acts from almost every conceivable
genre, Facefest is perhaps the most diverse musical event of the year!
this years bands include:
| Aging Youth Gang Al Doyle Critter East Vamps Eddy Dutchman The Enablers Fierce Creep The Furniture Gold Stars Are For Suckers Greg Hathaway Orchard Pinkish and his Horny Hands |
Huskee Dude The Jazz Holes The Kentucky Womanizers Liquor Kings Little Guitar Army Motorama Psychonauts R.D.Cane Ragged Souls The Rain And The Sidewalk Rumsfeld |
The Rustic Sinners Shockload Sick Brain Soulsucker The Strugglers Tarantula Head Tree Tox Williston Yard Wonderful Diving Horses *lineup subject to change |

Thanks to everyone who came to our CD release show! The near-full Princeton (which became a grrrabbit production at the last minute) was treated to xclnt sets by Role Mach and Collapsing Opposites, before TRATS performed. The response was wonderful, and many disks were sold!
The double CD can now be bought through
mcleanrecords for $12 (USD).
March/April
Lots going on...
TRATS was fortuante enough to be interviewed by THE MORNING AFTER's Oswaldo Perrera on March 17th, with Mark from THE GET DOWN to shamelessly plug his 10th anniversary show April 10 at the Legion!
A podcast of the March 17th show is here:
http://playlist.citr.ca/podcasting/audio/20090317-113644-to-20090317-130009.mp3
We're very happy to have a chance to play. Oswaldo has been an enthusiastic supporter of the band for years now.
Shannon's back from Europe (for a couple of months, at least), and will be performing a few songs with TRATS on this show and, (hopefully) on the release show for WEAKNESS.
You can now buy TRATS MP3s online through Soundclick.
Look for songs that will not be released in the physical world and remixes in addition to songs from the CDs.
Click music, or go directly to the Soundclick page here.
WEAKNESS, the forthcoming 28-song double CD, has been mastered at THE HIVE, inching ever closer to being unleashed to the throngs... release date coming soon...
November
Hey all, a few things in TRATS-land you might want to know about...
First of all, the Trevor-solo version of The Rain and the Sidewalk will be performing a short set at Down The Lees' CD release show... (see details on the left)
You can now download our Redundant EP for free
(minus the nifty cover) on the music page.
Of course if you're the sort who prefers a physical copy, fear not! We still have some of the (limited edition) cd version available for $5, and will have some available at the show...
In case anyone is curious our next CD (currently titled Weakness) is pretty close to completion (and, who knows, might even be available by some time early next year)
At this point it looks like Weakness will probably be a double CD including such songs as
Hollow, Smoke Signals, That Water Fountain Spoke To Me, Misguided Dream, Repulsive Pining, In A Moment Of Weakness, Inane Pining, Adjust The Dial On The Windowsill (I've seen this one before), You Look Like You've Been Through, Abrasive Candy, Regret, Failures, Identity Crisis (quartet for guitar, bass and tape loop), Playground For Your Thoughts, Did I Never Look Into Your Face?, Hit My Head, I Walk Around The Block Three Times Before Going In, Rejected, The Entire Fucking Universe, Idiot (the self-loathing song), Church Window (I threw a bottle), Drunken Ramblings, A Solitary Soul, In The Dark, Comedy Sketch, Monster, Attack Of The Ska Dogs, Outside Of Red.
(the track listing is subject to change without warning or reason of course :-)
that is all.
April
We’ve compiled those remixes of the songs from Inanimate on a new CD! It's called the Redundant EP.
A limited edition of 50 copies is now available for $6 at shows (like the upcoming May 9th show at Hoko's), and soon
from McLean Records. We’re also going to put up a free version soon.
Features the following songs:
The Bus Song (edit)
Resurrection (dance mix)
Tonight We Are Standing On The Edge Of The World (unintentionally
silly mix)
Slow-Motion Chattering
Hallucination (extended)
Malibu (burnt-out mix)
Lifeless (machine mix)
Wake Me When It’s Over (artistically irrelevant party mix)
Twisted Sunshine (broken mix)
Resurrection (emotional mix)
mastered by Stuart McKillop at the Hive
The physical version comes in a fold out cover designed by Trevor and executed by Mike McLean
(Now, if someone out there has been paying attention they might be wondering, "Harrumph! What happened to the Diversion
EP that Trevor was talking about some time ago?" Well, the Diversion EP was going to contain the Inanimate remixes as
well as a few other "unreleased singles" and odds and ends like Abrasive Candy, Outside of Red, Journey to the Ether
Landscapes, etc., but Wayde pointed out that having remixes and non-remixes on the same CD is just plain evil.
Then Trevor also realized that 78 minutes was a bit too long for an EP...
So the remixes wound up on Redundant instead, and the other songs will likely wind up on the next CD (maybe a double CD), current working title "Weakness".)
In other news, it looks like Arsenal Pulp Press is going to re-print Wayde’s book Performance Bond, which comes with the CD that Wayde and Trevor put together, The Reinventing Wheel... More details as I get them!
January/February
oh, yes, right, we need a news update...
Hey, I keep forgetting to mention, the winter issue of
One Cool Word magazine's
CD includes a new recording of
I Came Across No One On My Journey...
This one's a bit more like the slightly more raw live arrangement,
with Shannon Hallett on vocals this time! (The CD also contains tracks by The Wintermitts, In Medias res, Greenbelt Collective and more)
One Cool Word is available at various record stores
and book stores around town, be sure to check out their site (http://www.onecoolword.com) for more info and to buy it...
More recently, many thanks to Oswaldo for having us perform at the second La Vanguardia anniversary party.
As usual we had a blast. Many thanks to everyone who came out (and cheers to everyone who helped us out)!
