BRIDGE BURNER RECORDS!

News and Gossip

As you may have heard we released a 10 band compilation CD which charted on several college stations in Canada.  

Bridgeburner also released Hissy Fits "Ugly, Like Me" CD which was No. 3 on the Canadian college charts.  Hissy Fit embarked on a three week tour of Canada and played many successful, rocking shows.  Following the tour, original members Scott and Rich decided that they couldn't maintain the breakneck Hissy Fit pace and stepped down.  Rich was quickly replaced by Dave, who rocks.  Scott has proven harder to replace, but no fear, Terry and Gisele will find someone and find them fast.  Visit their web page for photos and such.

Mothertrucker continues unhindered in their quest.  I'm not sure what their quest is, but they continue.  The band puts on a stellar show about once a month in Vancouver and if you don't live here, odds are, you probably will never have the pleasure of viewing the trucker.  Lead singer Adina recently crafted her own tassled "Ozzy" style shirt and is currently the object of much envy in the local Rock scene.

Blammo decided to take a rest for awhile.  Things spun out of control, 8 egos was too much for one small rehearsal space.  Seven out of eight members are hoping for a reunion, the single hold out must eventually succumb to the pressure.

Speaking of egos, Ted also is taking a well deserved rest.  Seems a certain member of the band felt the need for an extended vacation.  No word on a reunion, but the other members of Ted are keeping busy with their side projects - DOA and the Real Mackenzies.

JP5 signed a deal with Sudden Death records and released an album entitled "Hotbox".  The band toured Canada and also played several shows in the US, including (I think) SXSE.  JP5 is currently relaxing at home and gathering up energy for their next explosion.

Jessie's Girl continues to rock and roll.  The band released a full length CD earlier this year and it rules.  Original member Fisher Rose decided to take a break and was replaced by Mike.  I didn't think it would be possible to replace Fish, but Mike is a damn fine drummer.

Celestial Magenta also lost their original member.  The band has also decided to write for the radio, sad but true.

Don't know what's up with Treecrusher.  I haven't seen them play in a long time, but that doesn't mean anything.  I'm sure their still rocking. I also know nothing of the Cartels, sorry I'm not the hipster I once was.

Ani Kyd continues to do her solo thing and do it well.  She's got a damn fine voice and you should go see her live.  But then you should go see everyone live, cause you never know, they might just knock your socks off.
