Birds of Wales – Tour Video & Live Video!

Birds of Wales have been out on tour for the last few weeks around Ontario. Its been a great time, met some cool people, and had a ton of fun. Here’s a video Ben put together documenting our fun times!

You may think that touring in a band is glamorous, and always fun, what this video doesn’t show is me sleeping in the back of the van, sleeping on the floor of a hotel, and other debaucherous events. Good times indeed!

Here’s another video of us playing our single ‘Uninteresting’ at our Toronto show at the Garrison. Excuse the technical difficulties we were having with the violin!

April’s Pedalboard

So its been some time since I’ve updated this site with my current gear situations. I’ve gone through some minor changes, last I spoke, I was playing through a Divided by 13 JRT9/15 head w/2×12 cabinet. Sound was fantastic. But it was far too much guitar amp for my needs. It wasn’t even a space or weight issue, it was more of the fact that I didn’t want to be carrying around a large boutique style amp, that could be considered to be very valuable, and rare. It was nice, sounded nice, and I definitely see why Divided by 13 amps are held in such a high regard in boutique gear circles.

I’ve since moved to a 65Amps Lil’ Elvis 1×12 combo. I promptly swapped the tubes for some Mullard’s, since the last owner had put in some crappy Mesa tubes – That was a huge improvement, but I don’t think i’ve played the amp enough to give a full review on it. Fun fact: I used the amp in the music video that we had recorded at the start of April. You can see it in the photo to the left. The goldtop is also my current #1 – I friggen love this guitar.
