   About Proof of Ghosts

The ground is dry and there is no rain in sight. The city's heat is like a blanket and there's nowhere to go except the malls and the bars. Fuck the malls. For that matter, fuck the bars.

Toronto via Oshawa's Suck My Disc Collective disbanded. AD 2003, the city seemed a little less like home. Cheap pints and shitty jobs painted their dust colours over a dry and lonesome summer. Then the Lights went Out, and on a crowded bar patio by candlelight with the humid haunted black skyline against a still blacker sky we sang, we sang, then we all took off our clothes and we swam, we swam...

Do you sing? What is your favorite song? Does it pull sad and sweet on the strings of your soul? Do you feel the vast aching chasm between each of us? We are not alone, we sing our bridges, we sing light into the dark, our distances seem less dire when we sing together, so don't despair, sing with us and know that we are not alone...

Proof of Ghosts is going to take you home down country roads. Proof of Ghosts is pure pop perfection. Proof of Ghosts is going to tear your crying heart from your throat. Proof of Ghosts is going to sing you to sleep and Proof of Ghosts is going to chase the Devil back through the forest and out to sea.

Some very kind words from CBC Radio 3's Craig Norris

Our self titled CD "Proof of Ghosts" is available on WeeWerk records (weewerk 017)

NxEW.ca is a new Canadian music group blog. We have 60 + writers across Canada (and a few in the U.S.). We welcome anyone who wants to write about Canadian music - including musicians, promoters, managers, etc. (We're not the CBC and we exist to promote Canadian music, so conflict of interest is not an issue).

Current writers for nxew.ca include fans of music plus journalism students, university radio hosts, and members of Library Voices, Hooded Fang (Tonka & Puma/Daps Duo), Olenka and the Autumn Lovers, Woodhands, the Rural Alberta Advantage, and the Lonely Hunters.

If you'd like to chip in on the blog or want to submit stuff for consideration for the podcast get in touch at northbyeastwest at gmail.com

Cheers!
Justin

That was a great set at The Boat, purveyors of visceral folk-roots-rock thrills, a swirling sound evoking the spirit of Neil Young, that's delivered with dynamicism and clarity. Imparting a whiff of passion, free-wheeling posturing, capturing that countrified essence of rock and roll.

Olá

Venha assistir ao meu Espetáculo:

ILUSÕES - O fantástico mundo da magia.


um magic abraço

Dimy!


ILUSÕES - O fantástico mundo da magia.


Envolvendo o público em um clima de encanto e ilusão, a fantástica viagem pelo mundo da magia foi inspirada nos musicais da Broadway, e é dividida em esquetes que passam por vários países. A cada país um novo cenário, novos figurinos e muitos efeitos especiais.

Além de amplas cenografias, do auxílio de seis bailarinas e uma equipe de produção, que o acompanha durante as apresentações, o espetáculo contém uma estrutura tecnológica responsável por produzir efeitos especiais inovadores que dão mais realidade à mágica.

Espere o inesperado em ILUSÕES !
