The Happy -

We are very pleased to say that last night, with the help of some very dear friends, a few Lakers and some of Kyle’s homemade peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, we began assembly of our new album! We folded and glued until the glue ran out and it was too late to go to bed early. Today I will send out a big box to the distro and a few to the weeklies. So begins the giant task of promoting a new release. Nothing is more exciting right now than watching the box of unassembled paper become albums and then leave our hands, gingerly, into yours.

The Sappy -

it’s with heavy hearts that Forest City Lovers bids adieu to our dear friend and drummer, Paul Weadick. Paul’s been an awesome, integral part of the band for just over a year now and we’ve had some great times with him and his beats. We all wish him the best with his goings ons, and we hope to see him succeed in all his endevours. And of course, we’ll miss him.

Steve Lappano will be filling in for our upcoming cd release shows and Eastern Canada tour. Steve is a lovely human being and a great drummer, so we are excited to have him on board for the interim!

In the summer the Planet In Focus Film Festival used “Castles” in one of their “Youth, Camera, Action!” videos. The video, an acted out music video for Castles, will be airing nationwide on CBC’s “The Outlet” on Saturday February 23rd beginning at 11am. Check for it in your time zone. The video is pretty cute, put together by a group of youth between 14 and 18 years old.

Congrats to them, and yay for their work!

This is the beginning of a new website. I think that this new blog-type might be easier to update on a regular basis, and even while we are on the road.

Some news for the moment:
Our new album, Haunting Moon Sinking, will be out on March 11 2008 in Canada on Toronto based label Out of This Spark, distributed by Sonic Unyon.  CD release shows are planned for March, as well as a short jaunt out to see our Eastern friends.
