I've been working dutifully on new paintings for those who pre-order my new EP!
August 22, 2011
The price of the pre-order package has changed from $30 to $20. I thought long and hard about it, and decided that $30 was too much! I kinda felt like I was ripping you off. I am sorry. Also, now, I don't feel as much pressure to make everybody a Van Gogh painting with their pre-order package.
For those who haven't heard yet, I've begun recording for my upcoming six-song EP, "PRETTY ALRIGHT", and you can pre-order your copy of it! Now for only $20, you get your copy of the EP mailed to your door before the official release, along with a one-of-a-kind mini painting by me! And lots of infinite love from me!

As of yesterday, Darling, Darling is a year old. I'm not picking out my castle next to Paul McCartney yet, but that's just fine with me!
I've begun recording again! I'm so stupid excited about this - my upcoming six-song EP is being recorded at home in my apartment. Last night, we tracked vocals in the closet where we keep the cat litter. It was gritty.
If you're in Winsdor, I'm playing all-day free show at the Gazebo outside Mackenzie Hall in Windsor - the Common Ground Art Gallery is celebrating their 25 year anniversary with art, music, and food from 2pm to 10pm on Saturday, August 20th. For more info, check out the event on Facebook!

I have a surplus of 1" promotional buttons right now, and a bit of free time - I was hoping to do some home recording this week, but it turns out my software/gear will have to wait until someone more experienced came help me figure it out.
So in the meantime, I'm giving away free buttons!
I also made a whole slew of handmade envelopes to send them out in, out of this gigantic book I have of wallpaper samples. If you'd like some free buttons to wear and share, send me an email to info(at)crissicochrane.com with your mailing address, complete with postal code!
(in Canada only, please! merci! this deal will go on until I feel that I've spent a sufficient amount of money on stamps)

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT: I've been vacationing pretty hard, but between beach time and work time, I've been scheming up plans to record a new EP.
Because I love the DIY ethic and I am chronically impoverished, I'll be doing my best to record the songs from my apartment (with the exception of some work being done locally with my friend Adam Rideout). Even so, mastering and manufacturing will cost me a pretty penny, so I've been hatching some fundraising schemes. Pre-order packages and fundraising events will be announced soon - just working out the details!
The EP will include tunes that have been mainstays in my set for the past year (such as Go and The Needle), along with some new songs that I'm very proud of.
TINY ANNOUNCEMENT:
This Thursday, August 4, I'll be serenading at the Arts council of Windsor & Region's Garden Party at Rino's Kitchen (131 Elliott St. W.). The ACWR has put together this dinner party spotlighting local food as a fundraiser. Tickets are $30.
