The show at Lucky Bar on Tuesday was wonderful, thanks everyone who came! We’ll have photos and video from the event up soon.
We’ve been nominated for a Vancouver Island Music Award for our video to ‘Dusk’
We were also recently given another strong review from Grayowl Point
Sometimes I forget to update the show listings on our website here. No longer! We’re updated through to May (though of course more shows could be added in the meantime).
In case you missed the memo, we’re playing at Lucky Bar in one week – Tuesday, February 7th. We have advance tickets for sale, $7 – it will be $10 at the door.
Hope to see you there!
It’s official: We’re being carried along with the zeitgeist and have opened a Twitter account.
You can follow us @MusicVersa.
May God have mercy on our souls.
You can now download the whole EP as a ZIP with album art and liner notes here.
We were featured on HardOCP again, which is super cool – thanks Steve! You can view that particular entry here.
Aaron Diaz also gave us a nice mention on his Tumblr which drove quite a few people to view the Lantern Season video. Just a reminder, that video (based on the fantastic Dresden Codak comic) is up on YouTube now, and we’re closing in on 4,000 views (watch it, or watch it again, and help us crack that number!)
[edit] Oh hey check this out: Our first album, now available as a ZIP with art and liner notes.
The Common Things EP is finished!
You can download individual tracks from our Discography page.
We’ll have a ZIP of the album with high-resolution album art and release notes available in the next day or two.
Shows scheduled for The Cambie in Nanaimo on January 20th and at Lucky Bar here in Victoria on February 7th. More details to come soon!
I’m a filthy liar.
Everything’s done on the new EP except mastering for one song. Expect it this weekend. Assuming I’m not lying again.
Quick update!
The EP will be released on Wednesday December 14, and will be *free*.
We are playing tomorrow (December 13) at Fort Street Café here in Victoria – come out early, the show will be from 7:00-10:00.
We’re proud to release our first music video from the new EP, for the song Lantern Season (inspired by the Dresden Codak comic of the same name).
Seems every time I make a promise about updating more, I update less. So no more promises – maybe now more updates?
Anyway! Lots of news. First up:
Common Things EP drops on November 22nd. For free. Check back here for the whole 5-song shebang. It’s going to be great!
We have a little “Meet Versa” music video which includes a sneak peak at Olav’s Common Things Remix which will be on the EP. Have a watch/listen:
We’ve also got a couple shows coming up. On November 22nd we’re playing Lucky Bar here in Victoria for the first time in what feels like forever – we love playing Lucky, and we’re doing it with Olav (of Common Things Remix fame!), Isobel Trigger, and Spaceboots, to celebrate the release of our new EP and new music from Spaceboots too. Doors at 9:00, show starts at 10:00, $10 advance or at the door (advance tickets available at Ditch Records).
We’re also playing at Fort Street Café on December 13 and at the Cambie in Nanaimo on either December 9 or 13 (details to follow).
And there’s no EP release? What’s up with that?
Well, it’s done (mostly). We’ve decided to hold off on release so that we can complete music videos for each song, get the EP out to some blogs, newspapers and radio stations, and book a supporting tour. You can expect it to drop in late September or early October – we’ll announce an official date here in the next week or two, hopefully.

PS Olav’s remix of Common Things is totally awesome. Can’t wait for you to hear it too.
We were in the Saanich News last week – very exciting! And hey, I can claim to be a professional photographer now or something (those silly magnifying glass photos were taken by yours truly).
Also, we’ve got some new gigs to announce – we’ll be playing at Fort Street Café our friends Redrick Sultan and Boy, Nun, Boy, Nun on July 16, and the next night at Backstage Lounge on Granville Island in Vancouver on July 17. Check out Redrick Sultan’s crazy blend of experimental jazz and prog rock here.
Finally, don’t forget we’ve got a new music video out, and a new EP coming very soon. Busy busy…
