Hey, thanks for the friendship. It was great to see you perform @ The Casbah, a few months ago in Hamilton. We listen to your music while we play Foosball, in my buddy's basement.
We're big fans!

Dude,

You were AMAZING last night.

Sorry I didn't personally say hi. I was feeling rather hermitty.

But, I was inspired and entertained and my thoughts were provoked.

I'm playing TBay on July 1st at Apollo's.

That was a great set at The Silver Dollar. Lone star shining, flamboyant guitar swagger, a raucous work-out that reminds all of us, that performer-meets-guitar will outlive us all.

Hey, hows it going. Coming back to stoon any time soon? Here are some updates from me including free albums to download or stream.

Y2lhen Updates!
Hello just letting people know what I have been up to lately.
First of all I have two fairly new albums out both for free download!


The first one was released in October on Dex and the city records out of latvia. It is called Jonestown Breakdown and it is in the style of 8bit chip breakcore and can be streamed / downloaded here


My most recent album was released in December on POP QUIZ! records out of saskatoon. It is called Dance Theory and is a dance album along the lines of Justice/Mstrkrft with some chip thrown in for good measure. It can be streamed / downloaded here


So if you have not heard those albums then give a listen and let me know what you think, you can check out my various artist pages here at myspace or alternatively at facebook or on CBC Radio 3


So join the facebook fan page and check out cbc radio 3 and perhaps request me for the podcast! :D. Alas If you want me to play your show or just wanna comment on anything let me know by email (lbudgell at gmail dot com) or PM on myspace. See you on the dance floor!

hey Nick!
how are you?
i didn't know you moved to Thunder Bay... is that where you're from?
Andrew & i are moving to NS in May and might be passing through there on our way if we don't get across the border for the shortcut route through Michigan etc...
maybe we could play a show?!
hope you're well,

Be sure to come back to Regina every few months and blow minds. We would have played with you for the third time last time you were here, but the wolfman just had a baby.

It was cool to see you rock out again on Tuesday. Solid gold. Best of luck with the rest of the tour.

Amazing album. I'm kicking myself for missing your show. Here's hoping the recording is going well. I guess you met my cousin Jed from All The King's Horses in Thunder Bay. We spent another unforgettable night at Eargasm where they played last night. Al and Matt and Dave were great, as usual. We keep telling everyone we know about you and play your CD for them. We sure were lucky to be able to meet you. All the best to you,
