Hey you over there

Hey is that you over there. oh man. its been awhile....... yea gotta be honest with all of you, the last month or so has been completely devoid of any news regarding repeater and the machine. So I am going to pretend that I have a good reason. I went back to my day job for 20 hours in September, and the ankle that I had broken swelled right up again and I was unable to walk for about 4 days. However I am on the mend again and back in physio-therapy and am waiting on the results from a x-ray to see whether it healed properly or if I screwed it up even more than I did. So that is my excuse. Pending results from that stuff, I will try and book shows again, although apparently it is difficult to get shows when you are a one man band so if anyone wants to send me any tips on that, it would be great. So 2 more things. If you are in the Kitchener-Waterloo/Cambridge area and are interested in helping me perform music off of Repeater and the Machine. Send me a message at Repeaterandthemachine@gmail.com and lastly the album has been out for a month and a half, I would love to hear your thoughts on it, have a favourite, least favourite etc.... I want to hear from you

Ready to launch

So its been a few weeks since my last real post, and I've gotta be honest. I haven't done a whole lot. I spent a solid 60 hours wandering the New Vegas wastes and a couple of evenings with trials hd. Yep solid video game time was in order But now, now its time to get down to work. I have the physical copies of the disc, and will be getting it into as many stores as possible (ill post a list ASAP). Its all been through final approval and is ready for digital distribution on Tuesday. So it's time to get to it. I will be doing a open mic tour this week. Monday I am playing at the little bean. Tuesday at Maxwell's music house, Wednesday at the L-lounge, and Friday for the big cd release party at the little bean with my good friends Chadoe, Curmudgeon, and Adam Burkhart. This is going to be a night to remember and I want you all there Last but not least I want to thank my friend Darren Price for helping film a couple of videos. We did a interview and shot footage for a possible video for "these tired hands" Big week ahead and I'm looking forward to seeing you all real soon. If you can't get a copy of the new disc locally. Email me @ repeaterandthemachine@gmail.com with your info and I will ship you one. Re-Peter

Acoustic Machines + Release news

Hi all

the last couple of weeks have been kinda crazy round these parts. Repeater and the Machine is officially done and im trying to come up with a few dollars to release it..... Speaking of which how does August 28th 2012 sound to everyone. Good I thought so.

So how about we drum up some enthusiasm with..... A Free acoustic album.(links at bottom). I guess I figured that seeing as how every show and open mic i will be playing for awhile is strictly acoustic, although im going to try with some backing tracks from the rock release this upcoming week.

Speaking of which have you been to the Bean yet.... why not that is the best little coffee shop I have had the pleasure of going to, love it there.

lastly Coma is up everywhere. deep breath...... iTunes, Rhapsody, Emusic, Tradebit, Greatindiemusic, Amazon MP3, Zune, Spotify, Myspace Music, 24-7, Google Music Store, Iheartradio, Rumblefish, Rdio, and Last.fm

enjoy the free acoustic tracks, pick up Coma, tell me what you think of the new songs, got a favorite

check the links for more immediate updates.

till next time

Blessings of a broken ankle

hey all, so this past weekend on the way to the Canada day fireworks. My body decided to give out on the sidewalk and roll my ankle, I sprained it so hard that when it snapped back up it broke my ankle, needless to say this has not been a "comfortable" week. But as it would have it, there was lots of work to do down at 445 studios sitting in a chair with my leg up. So after a grueling 24 hours in front of a computer screen this week i am proud to say that Repeater and the Machines debut album is done. At least I hope, before i show anyone the fruits of this years labors I'm going to sit on it and play it over and over again to determine if anything isn't up to "standards", I wouldn't want to severely disappoint anyone.

There is even more good news. My lovely aunt Anita Wood has decided to graciously let me use her painting "Second Chance" as the cover of Coma, i am super excited about this. I am also working with my good friend Robert Stea on a logo for it.
I'll be sure to check in with you fine people soon. maybe with a sample shh

the story so far......

Hey Everyone and Welcome.

First off, a little about me and this blog. At the beginning of this year I decided that this would be the year that I finally released my debut solo album, I have been in plenty of bands, but nothing ever seemed to take off, so it was up to me to take my career in the direction that i would like to have it headed..... up. So since January i have been in my personal studio recording and rerecording and rerecording some more. After a point i realised that i just wasn't a very good singer and decided to take some vocal lessons, if you could hear those early recordings you would think that this was somebody that had never tried before in there life, it was rough. Lets just say that vocal lessons are a good idea.

After countless hours and many failed days in the studio while learning how to use the new fangled set up (used to use a stand alone DAW) I am proud to say that the first single is ready to go and spit shined as much as its going to get. The track is called Coma and will be on iTunes and various other outlets in the next 2 weeks, I just have to finalise some art work and a logo

Coma will be sold not for profit until the end of December, any and all profit I make off of it will be donated to The Grand River Regional Cancer Centre. This is something i have been planning since 2007 when the Dr's and Staff saved my life and i want to give a little back to them.

So that's it for today, but with a little more than a month until the album is sent to the duplicators and starts to get promoted I'm a little excited, hopefully you will be too.
