2012

January

There has been a great response to RenaGDE TV looking forward to keeping it going through the new year.

2011

December

Starting a new experiment.  Not sure where this is going but I've been wanting to play for awhile now and this'll be an every other week showcase of that activity.  Last Saturday we got it started with Chad joining me for a rendition of Damned.  Chad pointed out it was the first time we got together and played that one in over a year.  Check it out at the new sub-site TV.RENAGDE.COM  

November pt 2

Some great reviews of Damned.  Thank you, your kind words are appreciated.  After embargoing it for a nearly a week for the Mailing List members its now online for everyone to check out.  Next up the rollout of 'Renagde TV'.  More about that in the weeks ahead.  Look for a Mailing List shout out when its ready to roll.  And speaking of the list I'm going to continue with the exclusives for the Mailing List crowd, we got the making of Fire and very soon, Damned added to the Access area.  In December I hope to have an exclusive download of a very special song, but I want to clear it with Chad first.  So if you haven't already go and sign-up now.  HERE

November pt 1

Folks from every direction are loving the video for Fire.  I love that you're loving it.  I want to mention that I recently revamped the engine that drives the Mailing List.  Make sure you sign up and keep up to date with stuff as it happens at Renagde.com.  Signing up also lets you log into the 'Renagde archives' at renagde.com/access.  
Right now we're finishing production of an amazing new video for Damned.  It should be finished very soon.  But in no way will I be rushing this one.  Its a crazy, amazing piece of art that myself and my new artistic partner in crime Carol have been working on for the past month.  As soon as its uploaded I'll shoot out a newsletter announcement.

October

Wieeee!  Halloween video up for Fire!   Got a little hot making this.  Fire got a little bigger then I intended, but isnt't that how it usually is? Watch, enjoy, take extreme pleasure!

September

For some reason the download link got shut-down.  You can still listen and get Show Your Blood through your favorite music service.  Read more about it here.

August

DOWNLOAD SHOW YOUR BLOOD ...link expired...

No registration reguired.  I liked making this one, loved the production.  Its fast frantic songs, just the sort of thing I love.  I want everyone to hear it.  So for the next little while here it is.  If you like it let us know.

July

Show Your Blood is almost out.  Its available free right now by signing up to Mailing List area.  Regular online services will be in August.  Enjoy it this one was a lot of work.  I'll have more to say about it later on.

June

Redux is now going to be 'Show Your Blood'.  Its going to be out in July.  For those signed up to the website or the Facebook page we'll send you a free download link.  

May

Redux is done.  About eight months later then expected.  Its awesome.  It won't be too long before its out there.  Redux is an amazing redoing of the songs that were on Part 1.  But one song 'Escape' we weren't able to include.  During drum tracking we ran out of time to get it done right.  As Part 1 will soon stop being available I figured I'd put the existing version of Escape as a free download.  LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD ESCAPE HERE  Its a great recording that I love a lot.  It was recorded during the winter of 2007 to 2008 with Scott on drums, Curtis on bass and keyboards.

January

Into the new year...  Time to dream it all up again.  No idea when Redux will be online.  Don't look for it this month.  In the meantime #3 is taking shape.  The sites changing a bit to reflect the new headspace I'm going to.   Interesting moment, wondering if its time to part ways entirely with metal sounds.

OLDER UPDATES...

Past Updates... 
2010

November

With it unlikely that there'll be another show opportunity anytime soon I thought I'd start sharing snippets from the rehearsals.

October

UPDATE: SHOW CANCELED.  Last minute too.  Sorry for anyone who shows up at the door.  We've never cancelled a show before... sucks.  We'd like to thank the Zoo for being cool to us, they had no role in the cancellation.

Back to the stage!  The Zoo, Osborne Village, Sunday October 31 Halloween, in 6 days!  Why last minute notice after 2 years?  Why not?.

September

The new recording of Pure is up in the form of a new vid.  This is from Renagde Redux, which started as a remix of Part 1, became a re-recording of Part 1, and is sorta still that.  Its nearing completion.  We are hoping we can finish this project by the end of October.  If it goes longer maybe we'll start putting it online song by song as they get finished.  Some pics added of us rehearsing, recording.  

August

Rehearsals have been steady and gaining some consistency.  Probably the biggest change is the vocal duties are being spread out between the 3 of us.  Part 1 Redux still in the oven, decided to do more re-recording.  It'll be available for download around Halloween.

April

So Part 2 now online just about everywhere.  Initial sales report indicates Bite Me When Its Over is the major seller.  Thanks to those checking it out.  You'll find a new vid for Killing Neurons, includes a few shots of recording that one.

March

Realising he was ugly Chad decided to punch out his bathroom mirrior.  Sadly he needed that hand to play bass, so while I look for Curtis' number the band will remain on performance hiatus.  Really I wish him well and I'm sure all will be sane again in a few weeks.  Part 2 has now found its way on Itunes.  Far, far sooner then I expected.  So far switching distributors seems to be working out.
Lately there's been some retweaking with Part 1.  At first it was just a remix but as time allowed its turned into a cart load of overdubs.  Yay!  More work.  Sadly it'll probably be several months before the new version is seen online.
In other plans I soon hope to open up the login page for free public registrations, I'm imagining it as a kind of living 'online booklet' to the music.  Registering will also act as our mailing list which has been lost since our last show when we switched web hosts.

February Part 2...

This was unexpected... Part 2 already available in many online stores.  Find out more RIGHT HERE  Usually this sort of thing takes 6-8 weeks not a couple of days.  Guess I'll have to update the Part 2 info blurb sooner then expected.  You'll notice its better mixed, better performed, and mostly softer moody material... even though it was recorded at the same time as 1.  More info to follow.

February

Chad was getting carved up in a hospital over the weekend so he'll need some healing time before we can work on performing again.   In the meantime expect untitled Part 2 to be digitally released.  Physical copies we'll save for friends/shows.  The store thing can be a lot of work with little payoff.   Part 1 will in the near future stop being available anywhere, and replaced with a tweaked version by summer's end.  And if time allows perhaps an updated Wreathe in the fall.  Whats worth doing is worth redoing better.  The hope for this year is to finally launch the live version of Renagde which didn't gel last year.

January

And just like that Part 1 appears across the net.  Now you can find all sorts of places to buy Part 1 (and still Wreathe)RIGHT HERE. 

2009

December

Check out the new alien vid for Pure!  Don't look for Part 1 on Itunes its not there!  It should be there... but its not.   Kind of like the band itself... but we're working to have some fun with this project before it goes to the island of misfit toys.   See ya with news in the new year.

November

Renagde Part 1 with a CD only bonus track now available @ Into The Music, Folk Fest Store, War On Music, Music Traders.   Digital version soon to arrive on Itunes, Puretracks, Amazon, etc...  More on Part 1 HERE
Had been considering putting out Part 1 and 2 at the same but juggling 2 discs wasn't practical.   So the angelic part 2 will wait until January. 

August Pt 2...

We've been given the honour of August 2009 'Artist of the Month' @ Sweet Spot Productions  Take a visit and look in the lower right.  Thanks Paulette!

August

QUICK UPDATEWe'll be doing the The Sounding Board thing only once on the 18th this month.  725 Corydon ave.  We won't be on very long, leaves plenty of time to have a drink with us!

Chad will be with the band on bass for a few months, maybe beyond.  Next Tuesday the 11th and the 18th we'll be dropping in on 'The Sounding Board' at 725 Corydon for a few songs.  I think of it as a public practise.  Intimate environment, no cover that I'm aware of.  

June pt 2

Looks like we're part of the Power 97 contest this week Renagde at Power 97.  Off their site you can download SMAX, Pure, and Breathe.  I think it might be the first time anything off of Part 1 has been available for mp3 download.  Noticed they used some pics off the site with Scott rather then the one we sent em.  Made me notice we don't have many live pics with Mike, and the ones we do are blurry and kinda suck.  He's like the Loc-Ness monster, not much evidence out there.

June

Mike, Curtis, and myself are busy rehearsing ourselves.  You'll notice we did an acoustic show with Scott which was great.  We pulled a few songs we've never much played before, aside from recording.  Scott always has a few projects he's involved with, his latest The Rayls is crazy good.  They like to play in downtown alleys.  Someone from War On Music spotted them and invited to play at their store June 22.  I'm going to try and make it.
For ourself, eh maybe by months end we'll have our plans worked out for this year.  No back alley plans.

April

So untitled part 1 and 2 have finally come around and will be available.  Part 1 will be first hopefully before June.  Check our Myspace to listen to SMAX.  Part 2 soon after, probably September.  It was an interesting journey but I'm a little tired of recording and mixing and just want to play for now.  Hopefully we learned enough this time to make future recordings happen quicker.
Oh and congratulations to DJ Brace, who played at one of our shows, his Electric Nose Hair CD just won a Juno.   Our friend and frequent contributor Scott Druming played drums on that disc.  Scott played on most of Wreathe, and you can hear him again on several tracks on Part 1 and 2.

2008
December

Thanks for checking in.  We decided to completely re-record about six tracks from both 1 and 2 and approach the mix a little differently.  This is still ongoing pushing the recording time for this project past a year now.  lol, shit. 
As well we revisisted Wreathe and re-did Rise and Come Down with Mike on drums (were not replacing anything Scott did he wasn't on those tracks) and while we were at that Curtis decided to add and tweak a few things from other parts of the disc.  So not quite in time for Christmas, but we find ourselves with a new version of Wreathe.  Look for it on here in the next month or so.

As for the parts, probably by Feb we'll have a version we'll be happy with.  Too soon to say when you can have it.

I want to thank Jeff for his time spent with me over the last couple of months.  Wasn't very much time either of us had available but his advice was useful.  My heart goes out to him with his wife's sudden passing.

September

Show was fun if a little unsteady.  On my own I decided to keep the energy going by doing a few songs at Charlie-O's the week after.  Jeff has advised some re-recording on a few items so the recording beast rises again.

August

Great news!  We hitched on to an unexpected show.  Sept 2, opening for The Gods Of Now from Montreal.  Will mark our first time downstairs at The Osbourne Village Inn, and the first full set in year.  (The last time was upstairs at The Osbourne Village.)

I decided to switch servers for our site so some things are disabled for awhile.  Only some of music is available we have a new friend Jeff of Sinister Conduct who's going to remix it.  So we're going to hold off posting the whole thing until we hear his version.

July

Okay after months of delay the new is site up.  New music has arrived and we have made a backend page to deliver it to you.  For awhile you can get it free just by registering on the forum.  The radio has Curtis talking about Wreathe, Terry talking about Part 1, and hopefully soon something about part 2.

June

Some updates to the site.  You can see there's a radio to stream sweet lovin' Renagde to your thirsty ears.  There's an access place for people who like secret areas.  Still using the forum as a psuedo blog for updates.  You check it for the latest news.

2007
November

Now we have a newsletter to let you know when we play again, or have new music or vids. Go ahead and sign up, you can unsubscribe at anytime. In real news we're finally getting into the recording process. Feels like a victory just to get started! We're not sure if there'll be another show by the end of the year... we'll see.

August pt 3

Looks like we're going to open up Wednesday evening at The Zoo down in Osbourne Village. On stage at 9pm doing just a slightly shorter set then we normally do. Haven't done anything this last minute since the Bramer's days.

August pt 2

As luck would have it there were some people in the crowd taking pictures! I got a batch today thanks to Bulback Sr who had his digital camera in tow. The video behind us didn't photograph so well, guess it was the flash. Chance some more might be coming in from another source. Enjoy.

August

Getting close to show day! Unfortunatly Mista Banx and crew WILL NOT be able to do the show. But we'll probably add in a video angle to our performance, it'll be fun!

July

As you can see we're going to the Park Theatre on Aug 18, with us will be the usual bunch of waNda wilsoN and DJ Mista Banx. Show will be much earlier starting around 7, we'll probably go on around 9. Admission is $9. This will be the first show with Mike on drums.

March

Show was a blast! Getting to work on decided when the next one should happen. Some pics are up courtesy of Reed. Now our attention will be to getting FUIS recorded in the next month or so.

February

And a new video available from Wreathe, take a look and enjoy. Longtime visitors will recognize it from rough cuts posted in the past. And when your done with that scroll down to the bottom and watch us playing FUIS at the Albert in December. Enjoy!

2006
DECEMBER

Curtis just let me know Wreathe is currently available at ~edit: not any more, no more copies of Wreathe left~
Show at the Albert was a blast. One hour and six minutes, longest set yet. Apologies for the late start, and thanks for everyone who came out during a work week. You can see the setlist in the forums. Pictures should start arriving through the week.

November

The first recordings with Curtis will debut in December with 'Wreathe'. Was going to be a Christmas album but we ditched the carols and instead make a winter 'themed' disc. Scott the drum wizard is on most of the tracks.

  RENAGDE untitled (originally in 2 parts) 2009 and 2010
Its taken us some time.  We started in November 2007 and completed in 2009.  We put most of the aggressive songs on Part 1 and made Part 2 the moody collection.  EDIT 2011We've re-recorded most of Part 1 and replaced it with the Show Your Blood album.  You can download the song ESCAPE from Part 1 HERE.  We like it but we ran out of studio time to redo it.  Part 2 we're going to leave as it is.  Its not bad the way it is.

 

RENAGDE Part 2:  If you compare the first part to a raging fire then this is the rising smoke.  Moody and reflective.
  Curtis insisted on blending 13 different bass takes for his solo in The Walk.  Reason #34 why it took us a year n' a half to create this recording.

WREATHE 2006
Our first recording! We actually printed copies.  Those are gone but its available from I-Tunes and most popular digital download sites.  Started off as a Christmas thing but we decided to ditch the carols and just make a moody thing buried in snow and narcism.  Download, enjoy.

UPDATE Dec 2008 While recording the last bits of the Parts this fall we went and revisited portions of this disc.  Completely re-recorded Rise and Come Down with Mike on drums, and some more minor changes to other songs.  We decided to make this the digitally available version.
