Influences
P:ano, The Microphones, TI, Beck, The Mamas & The Papas, Flamings Lips, Karl Blau, International Falls, Graves, AC Newman, The Beatles, The Beach Boys.
Over the summer and fall of 2007, with the help of Jay Arner of International Falls fame, Nathan Moes, Langley BC resident and avid board gamer, created the celebrated album "Who Will Cut Your Grass When I'm Gone," and began a sad history of comma abuse.The album contains seven pop gems stuffed with key-like instruments. Pianos, organs, synthesizers, xylophones all managed to wheedle their way into the 7 tracks of inspired melody alongside shakers, sandpaper, table thumping, and full drum kit noise. Sometimes Bombastic, Occasionally Melancholic, Always Fantastic.
While WWCYGWIG? was a decidedly more of a solo effort with a much help from Arner, since beginning to play live, The Magician has joined the technically proficient, percecptivally feeling Gates of Love to create a full bodied show complete with the full drum kit noise as heard on WWCYGWIG? Saxophone and Trumpet not heard on WWCYGWIG?, but delightfully pleasing nonetheless. The Gates of Love are Conrad Dykman on drums, Nick Koole on Horns and guitar, Andrew Koole on Saxophone and Keys and Jason Grim on guitars.
WWCYGWIG? is available for purchase online:
From our first tour, our first stop, in Kelowna, BC at the Streaming Cafe, an unrecorded song entitled "Take a Trip."

Thanks for the ADD MATE!! Come on back and watch us plunder... I mean.. Grow... Update.. Something computer like, like that. Yours, Captain Charity Ann Rackham
I just saw the pictures Nick posted on myspace. Seems like a blast. Our Halloween show at Casey's was bumped back to November 19th, but we'll probably play at least part of the suite then.
Hey, how'd the tour go? Hope you didn't hit too many bumps in the road, the rockies are already prone to freak snowstorms this time of year. We had a show the night of your streaming cafe gig but I'll be sure to check out the videos as soon as the archive page is up. It sounds like a very cool place to play.
Hi guys, this is dan from BEND SINISTER here.

Hey! Thanks for the add. Best of luck to you, and if we're lucky maybe our bands will cross paths one day. If you ever need an opening act that will do it for free purely for exposure, we are them. Or hell, if your just down for setting up a show together, give us a shout!
Thanks again, we love your music, and we hope to hear back from you, Raise Your Kids Well
