As we may or may not have told you guys before, we’ve added alot of piano, strings, organ and even a little bit of trumpet to the new album. So the next question was how are we gonna play this live? Thats where the newest member of The Dunes comes in….we would like you all to welcome Jeremy Panda, yip, I said panda to our gang. He’s an incredible dude both musically and just generally and is bringing many good vibes to us and generally enhancing our existence…..Jeremy will be on the piano, organ and trumpet aswell as being our sounds and trigger man. Yeah it is alot isn’t it? Were very lucky to have him and you can check out his skills at our next show.

“ichange” has been added! It’s a song off the new album. We just wanted give you something while you wait…believe us it’s killing us too….the song speaks for itself and was inspired by alot of goings on over the past few years inter band wise, personally for Kevin and on a larger world and political scale. We have the sense that bubbling under the surface of our world is a movement to change. Changes that will manifest themselves in our actions towards each other and towards ourselves and how we treat one another and a general search for truth. We can feel it. Can you? With great leaders like Barack Obama giving us hope and the belief of a better world through change and honesty. It’s really inspiring and we as people of the earth deserve that, equality and fairness and the feeling that we do count! We need to believe in ourselves. Its okay to be happy despite what the world may lead us to believe. It’s our world to change and change it for the better…and you and us are gonna change it!

We hope you enjoyed the show. For those of you who werent there we played a couple of new songs off of our upcoming release which was alot of fun and from all reports they went over quite well. It was an all business 8 song set which saw us cut “hurry up” last second due to some delays. We stuck to a very meatty danceable anthemic dirty rock set which proved to alot of fun. Phil Ogynist got some really great photos (Thanks Phil) which i would put , a link to but ….they never seem to work when i post them, so im just gonna post them in our Gallery.

March 7th Elmocambo
Sean Verreault
Grand Pm
Peter Katz
The Dunes
And Special Guest

Nobody new who this Guest might be except us on the inside and we had to keep it kinda hush hush because there was some uncertainty about whether or not it would actually happen or not, but then at 1:30 am a Taxi pulled up to the Elmocambo with a guy named Garth Hudson and his wife Maud inside. For those of you who dont know who is go out right now rent The Last Waltz, its a concert by the Legendary band known simply as “The Band”. Garth was the keyboardist for The Band and is thought to be heavily responsible for giving them thier unique sound through his brilliance….”Cripple Creek” “The Weight” “The shape im in” are just a few of many many hits they wrote. Ok….so right Garth Showed up! Unbelievable…”could this be happening”. Peter Katz our new label mate and his band had learned some “band” songs through the week and so did we in hopes of performing them with Garth. Even though Garth was now in the building it was still unclear if he was going to come up on stage and join us. Peter just finished up a few of his numbers and called over the mic “now were gonna get The Dunes to come up and do a few songs”. We were just about readyto kick into “The shape im in” and guess who walks up on stage with us….yip Garth. I (Kevin) greeted him again and asked him if he wanted to do both songs we had rehearsed the first one being “The shape im in” he smiled and said yeah “lets do it”. There was a great energy in the that room Friday night about 40 or so people had stuck around anticipating a “special guest” and thats exaxctly what they got cellphones and flashbulbs everywhere but still the mood was very intimate and serene and….. amazing. We effortlessly strolled through “The shape im in” and it was great to watch Garth work his magic, once we finished that up it was time to for Garth to play “his” song “Chest fever”. If you dont know the song go download it from itunes right now it is an epic! We all looked around at each other as we moved through it with massive grins on our faces and i think for a moment we felt, or at least i felt what it might of been like to be in the band in the 70’s playing these songs….magic. Peter and his band came up after that and busted into “The weight”. We stayed on stage together and Jammed it out and the whole place errupted as everyone in the place sang along “take a load off fanny….take a load for free”…Im sure you can imagine it was a very special night. Garth and his wife were very warm and kind and we had the opportunity to just be oureselves and enjoy each others company. “The weight” was the set ender the crowd literally went wild, but, that was it for the night and as we exited the stage I looked at Garth and he smiled at me i put my arm around him and he said to me tongue in cheek “lets get a band together and get out on the road”. Thanks Garth from all of us!

****if anyone has footage video or phots could you please contact us at thanks!!!info@theduneslive.com****

Recording! Well were all back from the studio now after really working hard in there pouring out our guts on songs and i think the final result…which we havent heard yet is going to be quite good at least to us. Each song has an identifiable emotion attached to it, that was the goal to really emote to really feel and i think we have accomplished that. Theres a few little nik naks that Kevin is going back in to do next week some vocal stuff some rewrites etc and then the album will be mixed and the finally mastered. A release date has not been determined yet. I just need to mention how amazing it was to work with our Co-Producer Sigfried Meier he really listened to us and let us express what we wanted…aswell as keeping us fed,happy and great spirits. Oh and thanks to Rachel aswell for the incroyable meals! And lastly to Mr. Meow for being Mr. Meow…youll know what i mean when release some video. So there ya have it thats that more on that at a later date.
