The virtuosity of their live performance is captured in these live off the floor sessions in clarity and character, making Constellation one of the best Jazz albums of the year.

East Coast Music Award nominations were announced today and we snagged three of 'em. Bam! Constellation is up for BEST GROUP RECORDING and BEST JAZZ RECORDING and our video "Agricola & Sarah" is up for VIDEO OF THE YEAR. Exciting times! The video award is a public vote so you can help us try and win it if you like... We'll let you know once the voting opens. The ECMAs are in Moncton this coming April... gonna be fun, no doubt.

Couple of friends or ours have new albums coming out - just got a listen to the new Paper Beats Scissors album which is coming out this spring and it sounds awesome! He recorded it in Montréal, Sydney Smith did the artwork and Forward is releasing it so it is like Constellation's cousin album - have a listen here. Also, Becky Siamon is a great singer who is a friend of ours that we've often shared stages with. She is releasing her first record Breakfast Epiphanies this week with a show at the IDOW festival in Halifax. It also sounds great and a bunch of us played parts on it (Matt, Nick, Gina, Adam and Alec to be precise)- check it). Congratulations to Becky and Tim on putting out some good music! January 19, 2012

Check out these wonderful photos of our show at the Evergreen theatre in Margaretsville, NS. My favourite picture is this one that captures the forest of raised hands, both on and off stage (we were doing the wave!). Photo credit goes to the very skillful Steven and Ellie Kennard. You should check out their website to see a bunch more good show photos.
We also want to thank the wonderful humans of Tatamagouche, NS who came, clapped, sang, jumped, and russian-folk-danced up a storm at Fables Music Club last weekend. Good times, great sandwiches, and extremely frosty beer glasses are to be had there. Check 'em out! November 16, 2011
Check out this wonderful review of Constellation that was just published on the website Southern Souls - We are lovin' that people are enjoying this album! I especially like the nostalgic nod to the North Street Church Dance Party days as well as the line "apocalyptic synths" in reference to Valse Povero. November 15, 2011
