ersh Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 They've brought me on to play auxilary keys, guitar and vocals. They're about to release a new CD with lots of organ on it, and have always had some on their recordings. I've been rehearsing with them the last few days, and it's going pretty good - they're definately a loud rock n roll band. I like it.On a side note.... I love the RECENT VIDEOS on the side now.

Jaimoe Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well done! I kinda like The Trews to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersh Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm kinda hooked on their new disc. Mind you... I've listened to it about 70 times while learning it. I have a new appreciation for them now for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 The new single "Hold Me in Your Arms" begs for a kick ass guitar solo, but it's still a pretty good song. Nice riffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Cool Trews News! I just went for a little Trew search on youtube and found a bunch of cool covers. Looks like you've found a nice rocking place to sit and play. They love The Band eh? I found a couple of The Band covers. I like there interpretation of Baby Don't Do It.You'll notice the link on that new side panel that you kindly pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 From my work perspective, The Trews are one of the only harder-edged rock bands of substance that MuchMusic plays on a regular basis. There's hope yet for this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry_llama Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 they need to return to their roots or something. funny, not 2 minutes ago, I put on their "shapes of things" cover from:http://recordings.neenerneet.net/TheTrews_2003-07-17/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanCon has something to do with their video airplay, but rock is making a commercial comeback thanks to indie rock, so I'm not totally shocked The Trews get some run on Much and MuchMore.

paisley Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 after they moved from the coast, they had a weekly gig here in Hamilton at Mermaid's for a year before their popularity took off... nice bunch o dudes, an honest talent... was suprised how much a young band could blow me away with cover tunes... they would throw their own stuff in between covers and we'd say "who's that by? sounds great." and then find out it was their own... could tell they were headin the right direction from the get gosay hi to the bass player and the singer from long red ponytail and glasses jamie in hamilton if ya think of itand kudos!

bradm Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm listening to them at Evolve in 2004, and their music and sound remind me a lot of Bullmoose.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have a couple friends that grew up in Antigonish county who fondly remember seeing these guys in their very, very early days (called One Eyed Trouser or something like that?). Apparently they did some Phish covers back in the day.I thought that Evolve set was particularly bad, BradM. But that's a fantastic gig Jeff! Congrats, man.

bradm Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I thought that Evolve set was particularly bad, BradM.Fair enough. It was the most recent set of their on the LMA that had MP3s to download. I'll take some time and get a more recent one.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
