The First Note Is Silent – Making The Video

The response to this video has been overwhelming and really appreciated after all the hard work that went into making it. It’s very different from my previous videos, in style and execution. Most music vids are shot in 2 or 3 days but this one was filmed sporadically over about 3 months....

The last two club dates of the tour were back up in Canada. Had never been to Victoria before, it’s a beautiful place and the gig was really good, great crowd, wish I’d taken some pics but I seemed to have only taken snaps of the car which picked me up from the airport.

HC North American Tour 2011: Portland 07/04

My first time in Portland and is seemed like a cool place, hipster central apparently but I didn’t really see too much in the brief time I was there. I don’t have any pics of the gig itself, which was really fun, but I did take some of the strange after show eatery that some local...
