The result is the creation of something different than anything else, a style uniquely JSB. Their live show is a frenzy of sweat, blood, dancing, and thrashing – all to hypnotic rhythms and an unrelenting energy that is both addictive and unstoppable. The JSB are currently touring in support their new Live Concert DVD filmed at The Marquee Club in Halifax. Performed in front of JSB’s hometown crowd and captured in Hi-Definition, this DVD brings the excitement and energy that has become known, loved and expected of the JSB across Canada. The DVD was filmed and produced by Hemmings House Pictures and a pre-release preview will be available for streaming on aliant.net/entertainment on January 5. The JSB will follow up this Live DVD with their fourth studio release in spring 2009. For both projects the band has embraced even further the electronic elements that have always been a big part of their live show's popularity while holding strong to their love of dirty rock and roll - its Daft Punk on Jaggermeister – Iron Maiden on Ecstasy… The Jimmy Swift Band is truly an anomaly within the Canadian music industry - they are unsigned yet have made a living playing music, a success story made possible by the actions of their fans and one clearly judged on the strength of their music alone. On stage JSB's energy has always been focused on the audience – on turning a Saturday night concert into an unforgettable experience. You will likely never see or hear anything like The Jimmy Swift Band anywhere else, and you will never walk away from another show feeling like you did the last time you saw the JSB. SOS (Scientists of Sound) Live Band/DJ JSB Sideproject http://www.myspace.com/loopingmadnessduo What Happens Behind the Masks? Scientists of Sound is the "looping madness duo" comprised of keyboardist Aaron Collier and guitarist Craig Mercer of the The Jimmy Swift Band. Their high energy live show is a four-on-the-floor-ho-down with Collier manning a spaceship's worth of knobs, keys and buttons to produce beats, bass lines and synth hooks while Mercer plots their course for utter chaos with looping guitar riffs, dense layered textures and melodies. The two work in tandem to perform live vocoder vocals with Mercer on the microphone and Collier keying out the melody on his synth. The costumed duo is a live dance party where the dude with the laptop hiding what he's actually doing is replaced with real musicians playing what you hear and bearing all. for more info visit: www.nufunk.ca

  9. I gotta get him to Toronto!! Have a good one Blane!
  10. Nice post James! I'm not sure if those are the standards they are talking about in the article! I checked into this further - costs about $18,500 and it only goes 56 per hour. might be good for city only use - but seems pretty limited that that. In the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car?" they suggested that the EV-1 made by Saturn could do upto 130 km/hr - but on only do 40-50 miles. It seems weird that the new technology is behind what they were able to accomplish in 1996. see link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1
  11. Good news! The Ontario government says it is prepared to develop safety standards that could pave the way for the arrival of low-speed electric cars in the province. http://technology.sympatico.msn.cbc.ca/News/ContentPosting?newsitemid=electric-car&feedname=CBC-TECH-SCIENCE-V3&show=False&number=10&showbyline=True&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc&date=True
  12. Thanks to Snappy Homefry of the Chameleon Project for spending a day with me showing me the power of Logic! I'm stuck on a PC for now - but it was a great tutorial! we remixed this: http://www.nufunk.ca/NuJazz%20Fest%20-%20Hypnotic%20Brass%20Ensemble.mp3
  13. I know Peter Forbes when he played in a East Coat rock band from PEI called The Rude Mechanicals. Good to hear he is still rockin'.
