Thanks to everyone who came out to our show last week at The Backstage Lounge. It was an awesome time! We’re going to be taking a break from the stage for a while to work on some new material and adjust to the transition of our duo soon becoming a trio! More news to come soon.
A new Vancouver show has been added. Tuesday December 8 at The Backstage Lounge on Granville Island. 9:00pm with guest Robert Wilson. $8 at the door.
We are very excited to say that we are performing this Thursday, September 24 at Raw Canvas (1046 Hamilton Street, Vancouver) as part of a fundraiser for The Niapele Project (http://www.theniapeleproject.org) and their School Nutrition Initiative. This is a very cool organization that is committed to providing free lunches for children attending a tuition free school in Liberia.
The event starts at 5:30 and we play at 7:00pm on Thursday. Check out their website for more details. $25 gets you in, a free drink and 5 raffle tickets for lots of awesome prizes. $75 gets you all that plus a canvas and paints to paint whatever your heart desires throughout the night. 100% of proceeds go to the School Nutrition Initiative. $25 provides 165 meals for the children. $75 provides 495 meals. We hope you can join us for this special night.

HONEY AND THE MONEY
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
Richly melodic pop-rock by Vancouver-based duo Leila Harrison and Matt Clarke. Shimmering vocals and full-band arrangements distinguish the pair from soulless syntho/electro/sample-driven crud of the same genre.

Happy Holidays everybody! Be safe, have fun and we’ll see you in the new year. Lots of excitement planned for 2009. May the new year bring you success, happiness, and good health.
Peace on earth,
Leila & Matt
The new video for our first single, “Still Beautiful” is done and available to view now! Check it out now on the right side of this page. You can also view it in high quality at Vimeo.com HERE or at YouTube HERE. The video was directed by Christopher Redman, and was shot over two days this past August in Vancouver with a lot of help from some talented friends. We hope you enjoy it!
Our song “Still Beautiful” has been selected as “Track of the Day” for Pop on the site Garageband.com. Click here to check it out now. Also of Garageband.com noteworthiness, last week, “Still Beautiful” was selected for the “Best Drums in Pop” Award for the week. A tip of the hat to our drummer, Kristian, for that. Sadly, due to that award, his rate is now too expensive for us to be able to afford to work with him.
Welcome to Vancouver. If you haven’t left your rock shelter for the last little while, you’ll be surprised to hear that the Winter Olympics have descended on our fair city. This huge event that is occurring in my back yard has left a deep personal conflict inside me. And that conflict is this:

If you haven’t read “The Shock Doctrine” by Naomi Klein, you probably should. Or at least get a Cole’s Notes version. Or at least watch enough youtube videos of her talking about the book to understand what it’s about (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG9CM_J00bw). In it, Ms. Klein (author/pundit/activist/babe/genius) talks about the concept of “Disaster Capitalism:” the conscious effort [...]
1. Crying
There’s a very distinct difference between the crying of an adult and that of a child. You never see a grown person wailing their lungs out after they’ve soiled themselves. And if you do, you agree that they should promptly be heavily medicated. And you never see an infant quietly sobbing to himself, tears [...]
