when Kids need to talk.........
if you'd like to support that
you can do this
so that kids don't have to worry about this
or this
stick around,
pretty soon I'm going to try and make you cry
then maybe,
someday,
some little kid won't have to

Rock the $#@! out of Cancer 2012
It's coming up on April 14th and I want to see you there. Seriously, no questions, no excuses, this is a non-negotiable must do. It's not just for me nor even just for the cause which we'll all be helping out, it's because I don't want you to miss out an outstanding good time. You really shouldn't waste another moment reading anything here in fact, you you should go directly to the Rock the $#@! out of Cancer website and bookmark it so that when tickets go on sale on March 7th you can easily get your tickets. .....then feel free to come back. OK? See ya!
Got it bookmarked? Ok good, now read on.
So look, I love it when you get great big superstars into play at a smaller intimate environment such as the Evergreen Hall (in Chilliwack BC). It makes for the most connected, memorable kind of music experience ever, and the dancing is off the charts.
And yes I said big superstar, because guess what friends? The headliner for this years event is the one and only Loverboy frontman himself, Mike Reno! If you lived anywhere at all at anytime ever then the music of Loverboy is a part of the musical tapestry of your life! And here is a wonderful chance to listen to it live and up close!
And I'm practically dying with excitement because I'll be doing the same kind of thing I did last year.
I've been lucky enough to sing back up vocals a few times as Mike was up there belting out his tunes onstage, and I've hung out backstage at Loverboy concerts making behind the scenes videos, but this upcoming opening slot thing is kinda cool. And with all the other bands slated to play the bill (find the full listing on the website), it's going to be a memorable, musical, exciting evening.
Here's a memento photo I found on my
iPhone from a gig last year where Mike and Cathy were special guests.
See you there!

Standing on iTunes.
This the original version of Standing which was included on Stupid Cancer's, I'm Too Young for This Vol 2. Finally it is on iTunes as a single and available for purchase!
Now, when wonderfully gracious arts supporters offer to trade me some money for my music I'll actually have a place to send them to and they don't even have to spend a whole loony in the deal. Thank you iTunes, and Reverbnation. (and to Steph and Billie Woods for the graphics help)
PS, there is another version of this song with live drums coming soon which will be included on my soon to be released CD (of which we are just putting the final live tracks down on at Millennia Sound Design ), so do stay tuned for a whole host of new songs.
Until then, you can download this single off iTunes, or listen to it for free at Reverbnation.
Rach!

Gigging with HitZone at the fabulous Commodore Ballroom
The last time I was at the Commodore I was backstage shooting video of Loverboy for Kelly and Rach's All Access Pass. Last weekend I was fortunate enough to not just be backstage, but onstage.
And oh what a stage, it was magnificent....I felt free as a bird!
The Commodore Ballroom. It's a legendary venue and many of the greatest bands and musical acts ever to pass through Vancouver have performed there over the years. Getting the opportunity to perform up on that stage is something of a massive thrill, not to mention a complete cakewalk as the staff and sound technicians at the Commodore treated us like gold.
So, I thought I would share some of my behind the scenes iPhone pictures from last weekend as my band HitZone played at the Commodore for a corporate event. I only took pics at soundcheck, but some of the band members took some live shots which I thought I would share also!
At sound check, I walked into the beautifully set up venue... Wow! It already felt like a party.
Russell Marsland, guitar genius and soul man getting his tones and sound set up during sound check.
Shawn Soucy, dialing in his monitor sounds so he can drive the bus with his solid, funky, outstanding beats and rhythms.
Billy Mendoza, grooving, driving the bus with Shawn and keeping the low notes .
Tom "check, check, hook me up with a wireless cause I'll probably jump into the crowd and party with the dancers" Arntzen.
Outstanding horn players Bill Abbott and John Korsrud joined us for the night! (Sorry John I only had this shot where your back is turned...)
And then, we took to the stage.....and oh what a night!
I love my job, so much!
Just thought I'd share a little peek with you all!
Happy Holidays everyone!
Hugs, Rach!
