Coming soon to this Very Site…
Yes! Sooner rather than later The Big Mess will have some pretty darn decent videos to offer up. Right at this moment, the editor of the project, our own VoxMan Kyle, is in Vancouver, participating in the Halloween festivities of The Parade of Lost Souls. As soon as he gets back, he will seclude himself and edit edit edit.
We will post the results as soon as it’s ready.
Primeval moaning and wicked beat drops
This is VoxMan Kyle and Comox Valley’s Mantrakid voice-jam on aire during his Creamreefer show.
I am accompanying most of the tracks being played on this show. See if you can pick me out in there. As well as jamming, we get into some nicely deep philisopho-musical discussion about the use of the voice in music, community, and evolution.

New Songs in Progress… VERY excited!
Kyle and I are hard at work on some new tunes… a healthy number of new tunes. I’m literally adrenalin-rushing with excitement about most of them. There are some big challenges with some of these BUT I think that there is the potential for a good number of high end show-stoppers!
I think that it’s a bit premature to give out names yet. We hope to have some ready for Nov. 5th and all of them ready for New Year’s Eve. Lot of work ahead of us, but there’s lots of motivation, too.
Bite of Nanaimo – What a blast!
We got a last second phone call inviting us to play at the Acme Food Co. booth at The Bite of Nanaimo. Not only was it really fun to play, but also the exposure in front of 900 people was pretty darn nice, too!
We set up at the back of the booth and it must have been a bit of a sound challenge for the brave Acme people. They had to attempt to hear what people were ordering over the sound of Big Mess tunes.
Great Video Shoot!!!
I believe that everyone had a great time last night at The Big Mess video shoot! I’m still buzzing from it and I can’t wait to see the footage. Kyle is going to edit it. Ahhhhhhh, that’s why he spent all that time in film school… for this very moment.
New stuff here…
I just added an event’s calendar and a lot of new pictures in the gallery. Take a peek.
Ready for tonight’s shoot?? Yeah, right!!!
We are kinda sorta maybe as ready as we can be for tonight’s video shoot. A few weeks ago, at an official Marty/VoxMan Kyle business meeting, the VoxMan stated that we should do a video shoot. After an obligatory protest, I very quickly agreed that it was precisely what we should do. Both of us wanted Tash Baycroft to shoot it and he’s a busy guy. So tonight is when we were all able to fit it in.
Much thanks to Kyle and Heather for baking brownies… and to the Acme Food Co. for letting us shoot there. I’m into this, even though Kyle will NOT let me eat a brownie!!
Our first review!

The Big Mess, Live on CHLY Radio
Check out the October 6th podcast of last week’s Fresh Cutz on CHLY radio (scroll down to the October 6th show). Dylan Perry aired us for about an hour, shootin’ da shit and performing several of our songs live in the studio. After destroying one set of headphones mid-song due to over-enthusiasm, it ended up being a fantastic experience. Thanks Dylan! Rembember, you have to scroll down to the October 6th show, or else it won’t be us!
