Hey Everyone,
I’ve posted a mix of the new song “Killer” on myspace. It’s one of nine songs we’re preparing for a future release. Also, the band I are going to play Calgary and Edmonton this February!
Happy New Year,
Chad
Here’s a clip from last night’s show in Regina:
Picture a packed house, people lined up out the doors, the hometown football team secures a first place playoff spot, and the band rises to the occasion. That’s what last night was all about. It’s been five years playing live music, and it’s not every day we get to play to a packed place brimming with that much excitement. And for me personally, the best part was having the new songs received with such enthusiasm.
Aside from the live performances, I’m just as excited about how these new songs are coming along in the studio. The last album that we recorded were songs that had been written and performed for a long time. There was a need for me to record them so I could move onto the next stage of my songwriting. It’s feeling good in that this next album will consist of songs that were written during a six month period. I believe it’s the strongest material I’ve ever recorded, and the way Matt and I are producing the album is more creative than my past projects.
I’m hoping that my next update will have some tracks for you to hear. Some are very close to being finished.
Chad.
Hey everyone,
Lots has been going on with me and the band. First off, we’ve been recording all summer and should have some new songs to preview in upcoming blogs this fall. These songs are so new that the band first heard many of them in the studio(usually we play them live several times before we record). I also took most of the summer off from playing shows to spend time with family, and get more recording done. But we’re back at it! The band recently played our first show since the spring at Bushwakker’s in Regina. It was great to have Philip, Suzanne, Nat and Matt back together and I’m looking forward to our first Winnipeg club date later this month. Keep checking the events page for updates, as I’m currently working on new dates for Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary and Edmonton.
Chad.
It’s so nice to finally see it for myself. Nat Dart sent me the storyboard a couple months ago, and I’ve been very excited to see how it would all come together. This was my first experience doing a music video for a single, and I’m glad my guitarist/producer Matt Kaip sent me Nat’s way. His idea was a very unique take on the song, and to see it from a different perspective was a great experience for me. You can find it on my myspace page, youtube, ilike, msn, and probably everywhere pretty soon. Watch the video on youTube here.
Well, it’s official. “Runners in the Night” is available via digital stores worldwide February 2nd(Itunes, Napster,Rhapsody, Amazon, etc.)and hardcopy CDs at Cdbaby.com. With the help of Alchemy Entertainment and Marathon Entertainment, we’ll also be releasing the 1st single “Restless Man” February 9th to radio stations across the U.S. and Canada. I’m always playing shows, but there’ll be more touring to support the album with several small tours across Canada (along with some selected dates in the United States).
The first dates begin with a string of shows through Western Canada in February and again in May. Dates are posted on myspace.com/chadkichula and chadkichula.com. I’d also like to thank my friends and fellow musicians for their time and efforts that they put into this album. Your ideas and commitments were extraordinary and the album couldn’t have been the same with out you. Take care everyone, Chad.
Still in the studio, Kichula is continuing to track and piece together his new album. “Runner’s in the Night” is set for release in February of 2009. Eight new tracks along with songs from this summer’s ep “World Shaker” will form the new album. Previews of the new album will be posted on myspace.com in late December. Stay tuned…
I would just like to thank the following stations for being the first to be playing “World Shaker”: CBC Radio Canada, WMVY-Martha’s Vineyard MA, WKRW-Virginia Beach VA, WEHM-Amaganseh NY, KNBA-Anchorage AK, KDEC-Decorah IA,KDNK-Aspen CO, and KPND-Sandy Point ID. Your support of this song is very much appreciated.
“Never Seen the Ocean” has cracked the top 20 this week on the USA Hot AC/AC Chart according to the Spins Tracking System. 3 station adds and 70 more plays contributed to the upward move. This has been a great ride as the song seems to keep rising every week and receiving over 2000 plays on the radio in 9 weeks!
