Tales from the Road
++++++++++++++++++++

We just got back from a road trip to the island and want to send out
a special thanks to the staff at 106.9 The WOLFE for giving us such
a great welcome.  For those of you in the Naniamo area, keep your
radio tuned to the WOLFE to hear a special acoustic performance and
our latest single "Early Morning".

We'd also like to thank BUKEY for coming all the way out from Maple
Ridge to keep "relations" up with our "older" audience members out
in Naniamo.  And a sorry goes out to the boys in Machine Gun Kelly
who had to share a room with him - better luck getting some sleep
next time.

And if it wasn't for Jay fixing our truck in the Ferry line-up on
the way over we might not have made it at all - so thank-you Jay
Mission Scum ;-)  I guess we owe you a bottle of crown or something
for that?



Album Updates
++++++++++++++

The mixing is finally complete!  2 weeks of late nights, ear
bleeding, knob tweaking, and constant bickering have produced one of
the greatest albums (we think) of all time.  The next stage is to
begin mastering which we hope to start once our spring tour is
over.  So far we're on track for our Aug. release date.  We'll keep
ya posted as we move forward.


That's it for now folks!  Hope to see you soon - oh and by the way
did I mention we're playing with NOISE THERAPY!

Later,

until the album is released this summer.  See the bottom of this
newsletter for info on the album completion.


Downweller takes over Playdium Band Wars
----------------------------------------
With your help of course!  Thanks to all of you who have already
logged on to http://www.playdiumbandwars.com and voted for us.  We
are currently #9 and the voting doesn't close until May 17th/02 so we
have lots of time to move up to #1.

2) Enter in your e-mail address and other info

New Music West 2002 Showcase
----------------------------
Once again Downweller has been chosen out of the 900 bands who
applied to play in this year's New Music West festival.  With over
200 local bands playing over three nights there will be lots of great
music to see.  Come on out and support the Vancouver music scene.
Take a look and listen to the best west coast music has to offer.
Our show will be THURSDAY MAY 9th/02 at Ms. T's Cabaret, 339 West
Pender, in Vancouver along with "Lo-Fi Love", "Delusional", "Boy",
and "My Buddy Dave".  Doors open at 8pm and Downweller will hit the
stage at 12am.

For tickets and other information on the festival please visit the
New Music West website (http://www.newmusicwest.com).


Album Release Updates
---------------------
The album is progressing nicely.  All the tracking has been completed
and we are beginning the mixing process.  Next we'll move onto
mastering the album and putting it together with all the artwork.
Once that is complete, we send it off to be duplicated.  Then we get
the distribution in place and you'll be able to find it in all your
favorite record stores around Vancouver and Lower Mainland.  When
will all this be completed?  Good question - we're pushing to have it
completed this summer, so we'll keep you updated.


That's it for now Downweller fans.  Until next time "Go Canucks Go!"

Hey Downweller fans!  We'd like to get your ideas and comments on our
brand new single "Early Morning".  We just finished mixing this first
track for our upcoming full length CD and want to hear what our fans
think of it - We're looking for feedback on the song itself as well
as how it sounds ("Sounds great!" or "The vocals aren't loud enough"
or "The snare drum sounds cheesy" -- you get the idea).

There isn't of course any guarantee we'll use your suggestions, but
we're willing to give you something for your effort.  For everyone
who listens to the song and sends us a comment, we'll mail you a
special "Thank-You" gift.

We've also entered the song into 104.9 X-FM's "Last Band
Standing"
contest.  So to get your first preview of the tune, head over to
http://www.1049xfm.com/eprise/main/cksr/content/XfmMusic/fmmce_poll.ht
ml - (Man! That is one super long link.  If it doesn't work, go
to
http://www.1049xfm.com and select "Canadian Exposure" from
the "XFM
Music" link and follow the directions to the songs).

There are lots of great Vancouver acts that have entered, but
you'll
find Downweller 21st from the bottom.  If you like the song vote for
us!  If you want to know what the free gift is? Then listen to the
track, and e-mail us your comments!

E-mail your comments to downweller@... and make sure to
include your mailing address for the special gift.

That's it for now kids – enjoy.

Welcome Back Music Fans!

As mentioned in our e-mail last Nov. we took a nice break over
Christmas and New Years to get ourselves back on track.  We did
manage to spend some time in the studio and have finished up the
rest of the "bed tracks" for our full length album that should be out
a little later this year (I know I've been saying that for a long
time, but this time I actually mean it!).

For those of you who didn't make it to the special Halloween show we
put on at the Roxy last year, I've finally posted up the pictures to
our Yahoo Groups website.

Here's the link - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/downweller/

Our next live show is going to be Jan. 24, 25, & 26 at Shooter's Pub
in Maple Ridge - It'll be the first show in our home town for over 2
years!  We hope to see lots of old friends and faces (Oh and Cam
you're welcome to come as well ;-)

That's it for now folks - until next time enjoy our crazy Halloween
pictures

Downweller Updates

What a night!
*************
A HUGE thank-you to all of you who came out to our Special Halloween
show on Tuesday Night at the Roxy.  For those of you who didn't make
it, the special surprise was...Guns N' Roses!  That's right kids, the
band was dressed in full GNR ware from head to toe.  We even started
and ended the show with a couple of GNR tunes.  We'll be adding the
best picks to our website soon so we'll keep you posted.

One special fan had this to say "I've seen Guns N' Roses live and you
guys did the best version of Patience I've ever heard!"

We've also got some video footage, so we're going to try and figure
out how to get that on the web in the upcoming weeks as well.

Recording and Christmas Break
*****************************
The Oct. 30/01 show will most likely be our last of the year.  We're
going to take some time off to finish recording our full length CD
and take a break to be with our families over Christmas.  Hopefully
we'll have some sound clips of our new songs on the website before
the end of the year.

That's it for now everybody - Until next time "Use a little
Patience...Yeah, so more Patience..."
