The majestic beauty of Canada, history, politics, the mad state of the world, and all forms of art that challenge the mind and heart.
Pan Out Now plays what they call "recombinant rock" - an intriguing
mix of male and female vocals, big guitars and cascading piano atop
anthemic, driving riffs.
Picture Evanessence meets QOTSA meets Tool.
"4/4 time and standard tuning are increasingly stagnant forms of today's popular music." says Tim Foley , " The complexities of 21st century life for us are more accurately realized through asymmetry and dissonance, which we apply to both melody and harmony. I think you've got to keep pushing at those boundaries in order to stay relevant."
This refusal to conform is immediately apparent as the voices of Sheri and Foley weave together clear, soaring lines into an energetic disquiet, revealing the craft and honest emotion of the lyrics.
The band will be taking a break from touring in the upcoming months to work on new material and ramp up to fall college and club shows. Monthly local Toronto are shows will still be happening so please keep checking back here for show dates.
You guys are one of our FAVS!!! You were incredible on friday night! thanks again for joining us and sharing the stage. Steph, I went out and bought 5000 packs of those cigars! My skin looks amazing! hahah! Good sales woman you are, and quite pretty too! Whole package!
Hey guys, Hope all is well with you guys & the new member.
Europe has been amazing. Very hard to leave but in order to finalize my citizenship i have no choice. It has been an awesome 36 days although only 3 gigs in that time, i have sold all the cd's i brought. I'm coming back to Canada this wed the 27th & i will relocate to Europe in Sept. That means i have 6 months to gig in Canada when i return. Keep me posted on any openings if it's not a problem. Take care & talk soon.
I was Co-host and live performing guest tonight on the radio on 105.9 FM WOMM "The Radiator". We Spun "Aspirate" over the FM airwaves in greater Burlington VT and I introduced the song.
Hey guys, i leave today for Europe. Just wanted to wish you guys luck with the art, the music & life in general. Take care & thanks again for those last few gigs. Talk soon.
That was a great set at The Velvet Underground. Yes I was there. Swirly cinematic rock, part-prog, part atmospheric and dyanmic energy, a merging of bittersweet souls from different eras. Stephanie is TO's answer to Amy Lee, and Tim is a polished guitarist. Highly entertaining. A spectacle to behold.
Hey guys Ive been listening to Aspirate and must say that I enjoy all of the tracks. Keep up the good work. I saw that in April you'll be playing in Syracuse, can't wait to see that.
Oh No, Monday night's suck for me. I work Monday and Friday night's. It appears I am not descend to rock out with you every. :( I hate my job. I hope the shows goes well thou and maybe someday I will be able to come.
Yes, "Aspirate" is an inhaled breath of fresh air... Great key changes (song Structure), Overall sound, Musician-ship, and singing!!! I'm glad Anna pointed me to ya's... Later gang ;) Good luck!!
As per the norm, you were terrific last night. The long drive down from Pointe Au Baril yesterday was really worth the drive. Steph, I am so happy you are doing just fine after your scare...watch out for the stingers...
Looking forward to the 21st show...Keep safe and we will see you on the 21st...
OMG !! you guys are awesome!! I want Stephanie, her voice is amazing. I've added you guys to favorties and will give you top frind billing on my next update. Thanks so much for being fans of mine. My most important fans are my fellow musicans who give me the credibility to do what I do, which is to play and sing everything at a high level of skill. Please come by and comment me, but remember Groupies should suck, not Myspace friends.
