Heather McKenzie: NEWS

Where did time go? wow, I can't beleive I have left this long between writing here.... sorry.... its been kinda crazy around HMB headquarters. New bass player!! new tunes!! new album in the works!! Its all crazy good!
Lucky for us, Brian Vincent came in with the breeze on a Sunday morning and gave us all a good kick in the ass, and we love him for it. With enough encouragement from the ladies, he has been known to drop drawers and get on a good hump dance atop the speakers.... 7 nation Army baby! yeah the boy can groove!
I have been writing tunes and working on my next album, hope to start recording in November. Always working, always singing... just the way it should be!
Next gig is at Lyve On Whyte, come on down!! I am so happy this club has opened, lets support ALL live music in Edmonton. Cheers!

We are hoping that with the kindness and generosity of great Edmontonians, we can raise some cash to help Darin with his rehabilitation and medical bills. Email me for tickets!!

It's done! and I am SOOOO happy! Thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout this, I couldn't have done it without you! And a big thanks to all the radio stations playing the tunes, you rock!! and Hey, stop and take sixty seconds all to yourself and make a wish everytime you catch the clock at 11:11.........

Hey Everyone

Sorry I haven't updated this in a while, been crazy busy!
I am so happy to say that I have received a grant from Rawlco Radio to record a new album! I have been writing new songs and getting everything organized to make this happen. We are ready to start on October 5th! Yee Hah! Make sure to have a listen to Magic 99, they will air my 'studio blog' and post it on thier website to keep everyone informed on the recording process. Should be very cool!
Thank you so much for coming out to our gigs and supporting the band. We are taking a bit of a break to concentrate on this new album, but will start doing shows again in January.
Stay groovy!
