Yesterday, I arrived safe and sound in Toronto! Things are very hectic right now but I am excited to experience a new city and start up a new life/career in music here. I probably wont have alot of news just yet, but the Atlas Shrug website is getting a full makeover with clips and news about our new album (the reason we moved!). That will be my main project for the next little while so keep your eyes open!

The EVO:R entertainment website has given a couple of great reviews to both "The Pulse" and "Atlas Shrug"'s respective albums! "The Pulse" got a glowing review and the "Atlas Shrug" one is definitely tough-but-fair and worth reading! Check out the links below. These guys run a great website so be sure to check out the rest of their page!

I only have a few shows left in western Canada before I ship out to Toronto forever so if you get a chance, come say hi and goodbye to me (it might be your last chance for a while!). All the info's up on the "shows" page.

Thanks to everyone who came out in support of Atlas Shrug, Portal, The Equation and Cranial Collide for our final western Canadian shows in some time! We had a blast and were so excited to share both our new music with you, and the stage with such fine Canadian bands! We're going to miss the people and stages here in Alberta but the east is calling, and so we are picking up and moving to Toronto as of August 1st to start anew. The new Atlas Shrug website will be up and running very soon so keep your eyes open; it's going to be bigger, better and feature a ton of new content as well as updates and clips from the new album! As always we love hearing feedback and touching base with people so feel free to drop me (or us) a line soon!
In case you missed the shows, or want more information on Portal, The Equation or Cranial Collide check out the links below!

The final Atlas Shrug Alberta shows are only days away! We are moving to Toronto to finish our second album at the end of July so these will be the last times you'll be able to catch us in the west for a while. We are playing the Back Alley in Calgary (4630 Macleod Trail SW) on Thursday July 8th, and the Rendezvous Nightclub (10108 149st) in Edmonton on Saturday July 10th. Tickets are cheap for both shows and are available at the door. Come say by to us in style and hear some of the new material we're so excited about!!

Thanks to everyone who was at the Yardbird Suite last night for the "Furious Works Quartet"! What a sweet night/jam, everyone played amazingly. Special thanks to Bill George, Jerold Dubyk and Kurt Ciesla for making me sound (hopefully) good!

It's official! I am moving to Toronto as of August 1st 2010! Atlas Shrug is relocating out east to finish and record our second album (which btw is already turning out amazing)! I will be doing a farewell to the west tour with Atlas Shrug and Portal in the summer; keep your eyes open for more details!

The Portal live webcast went awesome yesterday! Thanks to anyone/everyone who tuned in (if you missed it you can download the podcast here). I am a special guest with the band and that was the first performance I've had with them thus far (next one is this Saturday at the Starlite Room in Edmonton). What an amazing experience! Thanks to the guys from Portal for that opportunity (If you haven't heard them yet something must be wrong with you so click here)!

Things are working!
Everything is up and running on my fancy new website! There's a popup music player up there (--^) and tons of info/pictures; feel free to drop me a line! (Did I say that already?)
