Todd Hunter Band: News

Check it out on the MUSIC page and let us know what you think on the GUESTBOOK page. Cheers!

We've had a few sunny outdoor shows lately, and are putting the finishing touches on the recording of a new song called "La La La Life". We can't wait to let you hear it!

We've been busy writing and recording new material. Progress has been slow but steady, and the sounds we've been getting are huge! We've been itching to get back up on stage though, so watch for the occasional THB live show starting in April.

Happy New Year - 2011 is already fabulous.

The band's been getting productive lately as we've been arranging some new songs, and I had the chance last week to work on some songs with Murray Pulver (google him - seriously) who I last worked with 10 years ago!

The video for "You Are A Star" is in its final editing stage, and time keeps on slipping, slipping...

In addition to doing some behind-the-scenes biz stuff and private concerts, we have been slowly producing a new song. We hope to unleash it soon. Cheers :)

This one just came in - enjoy!

Shaw TV has kindly featured us and our recent contribution to a Haiti benefit concert. Check it out at http://start.shaw.ca/Start/enCA/Local+Content/Manitoba/Winnipeg/BackStage.htm.

I'd like to extend a big heart-felt thanks to all of you who joined us for a fun-filled evening @ last Thursday's CD Launch (here's a review: http://aimlessandandy.blogspot.com/2010/01/review-todd-hunter-star-cd-release.html). Thanks to your energy, we truly had a blast on stage. We also really appreciated how enthusiastically everyone participated in the "fans swarming the limo" video shoots for Winnipeg Rock Star, the new mockumentary-style show that will feature yours truly. Don't worry, I'll tell you more about Winnipeg Rock Star soon... Cheers and Rock On!

Hey Winnipeg - we hope to see you all at The Academy tomorrow/Thursday night! Advance tix are $10 at MusicTrader/$12 at the door.

I am fortunate to have been invited to do a Q & A for the ultra-fine music blog: Painting Over Silence. Check it out at http://paintingoversilence.blogspot.com/
Plus, more good news: Canadians can now get STAR for as little as $8.75 Cdn through Canadian retailer KERFMUSIC (http://www.kerfmusic.com/vmchk/499toddhunter). That's CHEAP!!!

STAR just got its first official review in the Oct.8th edition of The Winnipeg Sun... and it's fabulous!

Darryl Sterdan gave STAR an exceptional 4 stars, calling it an "emotionally moving pop-rock concept album. Brilliantly polished by Mike Petkau's spacy, atmospheric production." Nice!

In other news, CJMQ 88.9 FM (Sherbrooke, QC) and CJSW 90.9 FM (Calgary) have also added STAR to their radio programming.

In other words, it's been a good couple of weeks :)

Canadian college and university radio stations are all back in full swing, and more fine stations are adding STAR to their playlists. A big thanks to CHMR 93.5 FM (St John's, NF), CHYZ 94.3 FM (Sainte-Foy, QC), CFRC 101.9 FM (Kingston, ON), CKMS 100.3 FM (Waterloo, ON), and CRLC (Lethbridge, AB) for coming on board!

In even better news, STAR has just cracked the Top 30 @ CFOU 89.1 FM (Trois Rivieres, QC). Merci!!!

My story is featured in the new edition of The Uniter. Here's the link: http://uniter.ca/view/1262/

More hip Canadian college radio stations adding STAR to their playlists: CFFF 92.7 FM (Peterborough), CIUT 89.5 FM (Toronto), CFMU 93.3 FM (Hamilton), CJTR 91.3 FM (Regina), CKXU/CKUL 88.3 FM (Lethbridge), CFBX 92.5 FM (Kamloops), CFRT 107.3 FM (Iquluit), and CHIP 101.7 FM (Fort Coulogne). Plus the ever-fine folks at CBC have started spinning tracks. Sweet! Next update in 2 weeks...

Copies of STAR are just getting opened by college radio stations across Canada, but already the fine music directors at CFOU 89.1 FM (Trois-Rivières), CIBL 101.5 FM (Montréal) and UMFM 101.5 FM (Winnipeg) have added the album to rotation. Nice! Next update in 2 weeks...

We've added a few smoky shots from our recent Gas Station Theatre show and in other news, CDBABY recently re-designed their site and now you can finally purchase individual songs for download. Just click the album photo below to check it out!

After an interminable wait, the 1st shipment of "Star" CD's has arrived. Naturally, they look fabulous. I'll let you know when and how you can get your hands on 'em soon :)

It's been well worth the long, long wait. "Star" is finally being pressed at the factory. Nice :)
