The official website of Ketch Harbour Wolves
KHW TweetsHere is a welcome message from Ketch Harbour Wolves. This is actually a really sneaky trick to just show blog posts categorized as "News" to appear as our homepage. This way we can have news posts viewed by everyone who visits, and the blog will be just that -- the blog. We will have to decide what we want here, text-wise.

Spaces Between Studio - Halifax, N.S. Canada
“The vessel is cracked for the earth to take back - still whistling out your song”
Sonic integrity is inextricably linked to the spaces we perform in; the rehearsal warehouse, practice hall, concert venue and recording studio are acoustic instruments, each with their own delicate nuances. The same way a body amplifies a voice, the acoustic colour of a well tuned room brings levity to the birth of thought and sound. Pre-production in Halifax, Nova Scotia in the Spaces Between Sound Studio, between one-hundred year old tomato plants and the watchful eyes of a cat named Pluto - the realization of Anachronisms is well underway.

Adam John from Lucid Media recently interviewed Ketch Harbour Wolves for the upcoming North by Northeast (NXNE) Festival - he also joined the band during rehearsal for a video session of Midnight Dark Water from Dead Calm Horizon. To call him enthusiastic would be an understatement; many thanks to Adam and everyone at Lucid Media for spreading the good word.
Check out the Midnight Dark Water video here.

Read the magazine online for other interviews with Canadian artists and a wealth of glorious indie-content.
London Burgeoning Metropolis
Last week we (Jonathan) did an email exchange with Rob from LondonBurgeoningMetropolis, an innovative music blog based, ironically, in Toronto (who also very kindly named our EP his #1 Album of 2008). Our conversation ranged from the next album to potential dog names to why we might be inadvertently destroying the music industry. Have a read if you can spare a few minutes.

The Silver Dollar Room was packed with a jubilant crowd and we fed off that energy as if it were the last scraps of food on earth. The stage sound was less than desirable and we five quickly found ourselves in an unspoken agreement, performing under the ridiculous (but fun) credo of “if in doubt, pound it out”. Finesse wasn’t an option, so brute force took its place, for better or worse (though in this case it seemed better).
All in all a very enjoyable experience for us. Fantastic to be a part of Canadian Music Week, and a remarkable turn-out for 9:00 PM on a Thursday!
