Time to head to the studio (Great Big Sea’s Great Big Studio in St. John’s, Newfoundland, to be exact!)

This weekend we’ll start our first full-length album, after three EPS, most recently,Tres, which you can hear at our myspace page.

We’re incredibly excited to be working with the always choosy, sometimes cheeky, Mark Neary, of the Novaks.

I can’t reveal the entire track listing for the album, but I can say that this weekend, we’ll start with Mountain (check out the video here), a song we’ve played live for some time, but never properly recorded.

First at bat is the intrepid Bryan Power aka Poppy. He’ll have the somewhat unenviable task of pounding out perfect drum tracks for the rest of us to dress up later.

Not to complain though. A solid rhythm track is the basis for a great song, and that, my friends, is what we live for.

So, wish our dear Poppy luck…

I’ll post some pics next week!

ECMAs in the morning.

Ruby, Kirk, Paula and I are jumping into a borrowed Saturn Vue and heading in a 4-car caravan to Corner Brook. We’re making mixed CDs and finishing RPM projects and printing posters and polishing the gear for our shows this weekend. The energy of the ECMAs has made it’s way right down to The Battery – I could see it in Angie’s eyes this morning.

The times and dates of our scheduled shows are listed on the poster above (thanks Shaun) plus there is a possibility that there are 2 more happening. I’ll keep you posted.

I’ll update this as much as I can but make sure to check out Ruby’s blog at The Signal - she’s sure to be more on the ball.

Here we go!

OH! Download our newest EP.

Saturday night The Subtitles are sharing that stage at the Dock (on George St.) with Newfoundland’s ska/reggae army, Idlers.

It’s a benefit for the band as they are heading to Woodstock, New York in a few weeks to record their second full length album with Daryl Jenifer of the legendary Bad Brains.

I suggest coming early and staying late because these shows tend to be sweaty, boozy and packed with the most ridiculous sort of dancers and madmen.

Show time is 10ish – cover is probably about the same.

See you there!

Woo. We forgot an pretty important gig on our last update.

We’re playing at The Rockhouse on April 11th with King Nancy! Check out their stuff. King Nancy, from St. John’s via Toronto via St. John’s, have been friends with us individually for a while and we’re pretty excited about playing this one.

These days they play about a show a year so you better come see them before they play no shows a year.

Here’s a vid of them playing at Junctions in 2006. I think it’s the end of a song but it pretty well sums up their live show.

Love,

Poppy
