About Carla Gillis

For the past year, I've worked on a collection of songs related to my creative writing master's thesis, which is about touring. Now and then I'll put up non-thesis songs, all of which were also written during Song Lyric classes with Meryn Cadell and my fab classmates. All of the songs are lo-fi Garageband recordings but perhaps I'll release a proper CD soon.

My other work includes bontempi, plumtree, absolutely nothing, international falls, the crashmats, pongo boy, the avengers 7, etc. etc. i also am a part-time member of bells clanging.

Thanks for listening.

Arbiter Deputy	May 21 2008 10:59 AM I am humbled, as ever, by your generous comments, Carla. And I've just noticed you've listed me as an influence "always" which only serves to humble me more. I am humbled to a mere nub on the pencil-end of life. Thanks again, and pass it on Ben xxxx
Arbiter Deputy	May 18 2008 5:24 PM Hey Carla, Hope you're well. Just wanted to give you a heads-up, because an Arbiter Deputy EP is on the way with five new songs. The CD will be up online for sale in the not-so-distant soon of the impending future. For the time being there are two songs on the MySpace page for your Acadian ears to consider. Wait, can I call you Acadian? I just did. Too late. BEN XxX
Peter Bogaczewicz	Feb 10 2008 7:23 PM Hey Carla. Thanks very much! I've always admired your musicianship, so that comment means a lot to me... Did Lynette tell you that we had a nice, surprise reunion on Friday.

Jillicom	Mar 21 2007 2:41 AM new song = <3 your lyrics and guitar riffs meeting the beats you've made is such a complimentary relationship. i like it.
Benjamin Wood	Mar 20 2007 5:57 PM Wa-a-a-a-a-i-t a minute. Why didn't I notice Loring MT before? It's fecking marvellous. Lyrically and melodically. Hooray for Carla Gillis and Her Awesome Mind Science. Hope Monsters: also impressive. You're a prolific little thang, ain't ya? x B x

Benjamin Wood	Mar 4 2007 8:33 PM Hey Carla Really really love Permanent Press. Voice sounds richer than ever, and typically, the song is infuriatingly catchy in that oh-so-delightful, whistling-it-on-the-B-Line way. How the devil are you, my girl? Ben xx PS - Say hey to Lynette for me...
bells clanging	Mar 3 2007 4:43 AM Carla, I love Permanent Press! nice experimentation with some new sounds. Your voice keeps surprising me as you explore its range. fantastic. lv, JVS

scoops dujour	Jan 26 2007 2:30 AM Hey...remember when we were sitting on the precious grass in Public Gardens and security told us to get off the lawn? He had approached us from behind without seeing our faces and said "Ladies, you cannot sit on the grass". Gheesh...since when can't dudes have long hair?
Benjamin Wood	Jan 23 2007 9:51 AM Hey Carla, Given your wealth of connections in Vancouver, do you, per chance, know a chap called Andy Dixon of Chemical Designs? My little bro is a graphic designer and Andy Dixon is his idol. Trying to establish a possible work placement... BEN x
