NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCED! Watch/hear the 1st single + Tour Dates
BIG NEWS! I’m excited to announce the next major studio album Waves Of Desire to be released October 24th via the Hamburg-based German label, DevilDuck Records. Recorded in Cologne, this album is a gift to my younger self, dreaming of making an album like this. I wanted to try and capture the feeling I got from music I was first introduced to as a kid, including The Beatles, The Everly Brothers, The Zombies, Roy Orbison and others.
Listen to the first single “It’s So Strange”: https://orcd.co/drzza3y
and watch the video for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIejEdddkqc! Filmed in Solingen (close to Colgone) with Suzan Köcher (who sings on the track and edited the video) on an old video camcorder. The look reminds me of when I would tape music video off of TV (MuchMusic in Canada). I think it turned out beautifully.
We’ve announced some dates as well (more on the way!) including Germany, Sweden and Norway. Also announced is a very special full band hometown release show and our 20th anniversary celebration. It will happen Dec 3rd at The Great Hall here in Toronto! Make sure to not drag your feet on buying tickets!
