Heath writes all the songs and wrecks his arm via the guitar, sometimes bleeding onstage. Cat sings beautifully and has many other functions ESPECIALLY HILARITY! And amazes the world with her percussion techniques. Giu plays lead clarinet and a little piano and sometimes adds her voice, and hustles, and refuses to play that one song Gabriel writes harmonies and sings and is full of hidden talents. Alex is the newbie. He has drums and accordions and things.

A few people playing sad but upbeat songs about topics of some sort - it's all a very rich tapestry
hello my lovelies. And i do like the term lovelies because of its double interpretations. Lovelies as those who are lovely and second lovelies as in love can be a blinding force from the eminent truth and tell you sweet little lies, des petits mensongess... Well anyway i am here mostly just to give a shout and I did put up a secret song on my page. Its the last one called ZZWWXXX so if you are so inclined go ahead and give it a lick and figure out if you are related to the owl perched on philosophy with a tootsiepop.
well just recently in december 2007 i've gotten back for a small improv jam with old band mates and friends guillaume laberge and nicolas deslande... We will be working together in 2008 to make a new record, surely under a new band name.
I've put up two little improvisational pieces we jammed up. www.myspace.com/mercimonami
one short. one long.
Most of it was improvised. On the shorter piece i did the drum machine, and on the second longer piece i was playing piano and start to sing at around 4 minutes into the song.... Perhaps this gives you a little bit of thrasshy taste of what we will be polishing up and into brand new song structures mixing indie rock, electro, folk, and whatever we like to hear basically. Along with vocals and many layers of extra instruments... I'm really excited about this and can't wait to get started.
LOOKING FOR SECOND SINGER AND INSTRUMENTALIST
A talented pasionate musician to join our ranks eventually for shows, perhaps as well for recording if it works out soon enough.
We also have ambitions to buy a van and do a short tour in Summer 2008...
I think i'll leave it at that for now.
Peace to all our friends.
Sincerily,
Alex of Merci Mon Ami
