some young god, bring me your first son

For our sixth installment of "Live in Bellwoods" the wonderful Chris White of Bellewoods, graciosuly played a song for us... AGAIN! Chris accidentally sparked this series of sorts, so we thank him for that, and this one is great. I'm almost sure for every time we do one of these, there is some sort of emergency vehicle on the move in the background. h.e. proudly gives you "To Be Alone."

Look out for a feature music video from the empire, for bellewoods' song "Kneel on the Apron" which is available on the Friends in Bellwoods 2 Compilation.

Today, later... the man who started it.

Can you see me outside your door?

this is the second song that Chris Gostling graciously played us in the park. enjoy!!

Here is another installment of "Live In Bellwoods". The fifth to be exact! and his time the wonderful Chris Gostling played us some songs on a brisk sunday mid-day, first from Chris is a song entitled "Fix it if you Like".

Today, in the eve, and possibly by noon.

He'd let you smoke his last cigarette

Luke (Born Ruffians) played us an amazing song that he wrote, it is not a Born Ruffians song, but its from the same day in Bellwoods!

I wanna sit right here, and sip down the rest of my beer.

The lovely Luke Lalonde (of Born Ruffians) played us a couple songs yesterday for "Live in Bellwoods", and it was definitly a day to remember. This first song is off of the new Born Ruffians album in the works. Luke hasnt played it much without the band so he never worked out a section for acoustic, youll see which part Im talking about. Thanks again Luke!

Watchin your weekends and your holidays combine

Live In Bellwoods .02-2

here is the other song Dinosaur Bones played us in Bellwoods park, its called Sharks, I hope. stay tuned to the empire, for upcoming bands to be featured in "Live In Bellwoods."

Bombs in Bellwoods

here is the second video of "Live in Bellwoods" I want to say that this will be a long running series, or that we will even have a 3rd video. Most often when I plan these things they fizz out immediately after I call it a series. On the other hand, if you're reading this and you are in a band, and want to play for us in Trinity-Bellwoods, please contact us. So here is the new video, Ben and Joel of Dinosaur Bones lovingly played for us on a crisp October day.

Droppin Bombs

Tired Heart / Lesson Learned

So here is the video in question from yesterday's post, Chris White of Bellewoods in Bellwoods. The song is called Tired Heart/Lesson Learned, I think it's great, what about you?

Thanks again Chris!

Bellewoods in Bellwoods

The Empire met with Chris White(Vocals/Guitar) of Bellewoods in Trinity-Bellwoods park last night, and the meeting was great. We luckily had our newly appointed French Interpreter Stuart St. Amant in attendance, in-case any french people came around. Chris was nice enough to play a song for our camera in the park. The lighting was surprisingly OK and his voice was well... I have no words for how good Chris' voice resonated through the trees. Here is a still of the shoot.


For now I need to get a hold of Chris in the digital world to send him the clip before we can release it to the masses. until then, look at the still and listen to their myspace page.
