Gather ‘round and have a smoothy, a pizzapocket, or whatever looks good in your hand. <br>Wysteria & La Jeunesse have come to revanche their piece of coconut cream pie, that slice of heaven, for which they now perorate into the sky: “Get on with fisticuff, and read ‘til you’ve had enough.”</p>
<p>Where? The Burdock, 1184 Bloor Street, Toronto <br>When? Wednesday May 30th, 9pm. <br>Hoo? Animal Parts, LUKA<br>Advance Tickets? http://www.burdockto.com/musichall/</p>
<p> </p>Animal Partstag:animalpartsmusic.com,2005:Post/47849722017-07-19T14:49:23-04:002024-02-11T21:53:40-05:00Summer Show Announcement!<p style="text-align: justify;">What’s true of this reformed quartet is “what’s old ain’t exactly new again.” Headed still by Josh Cockerill, the AP cadres have taken their summer to lounging poolside, growing facial hair, basting in chlorinic waters, then being blasted by the sun. Rinse & Repeat. A quotidian lifestyle of such adds breeze between the chords, a lilt to the backbeat, and an imp of stupefacience to the vocal choirings. There’s new music on the docket, two new records to be sure, and persistent rumours of a book of poetry. Who knows?? By the looks of it, not even JCo himself, who’s somnambulant & blowing bubbles in a kiddy pool. So stay tuned cherished listeners! If it’s true every band has its day, then maybe a good band might just have two.</p>

REE-formed) itinerants Animal Parts have returned - say cheese(!) - to explore wealths of materials until now locked in its coffers.

<p>Do I have time to clear my throat before we begin? </p>
<p>How then would you limn what's happened so far? </p>
<p>Ahem!<br><br>Ahem!<br><br>Ahem! You good? </p>
<p>Ahem! Let's go. </p>
<p>What are you reading these days? </p>
<p>I'm reading what I've written so far. </p>
<p>Interesting. And how does it read? </p>
<p>Unfinished. </p>
<p>Are you, or have you been, working towards new music? </p>
<p>Yes. Of two different kinds. </p>
<p>Like Country <em>and</em> Western? </p>
<p>No. #%&#ed and un#%&#ed. </p>
<p>Let's start with the un#&%#ed. </p>
<p>It's a collection of songs written for my wife in the period following our honeymoon phase. </p>
<p>Doesn't that last for years? </p>
<p>Like red meat.</p>
<p>... In a stomach? </p>
<p>That's right. </p>
<p>Is there any poetry to the lyrics? </p>
<p>None.</p>
<p>Does it have a title? </p>
<p>Yes, but I wouldn't tell you just yet. </p>
<p>No? </p>
<p>I'll whisper it in your ear (<em>whispers</em>) </p>
<p>Very clever. </p>
<p>I thought so. </p>
<p>Now, tell me about the #&%#ed? </p>
<p>Excuse me?!</p>
<p>You say there's more music?</p>
<p>Another EP, a strange bedfellow to the first. </p>
<p>Oh? </p>
<p>It's more experimental than I've cared to be before. It's sung in a different voice. </p>
<p>Like what Dylan does at times? </p>
<p>No, nothing like that. </p>
<p>How would you explain it then? </p>
<p>It's like what Margaret Atwood does at times. </p>
<p>Ok. Is there much poetry to the lyrics? </p>
<p>Very much. </p>
<p>So two new Animal Parts albums of divaricating styles. Anything else? </p>
<p>Yes, there's a third. </p>
<p>Wow! This all appears highly self involved. </p>
<p>I'll walk out. </p>
<p>Ok, let's get back on track. When can we expect these releases? </p>
<p>Before I turn thirty. </p>
<p>Are you not yet thirty? </p>
<p>Not quite.</p>
<p>Anything else you've been working on you'd like to talk about? </p>
<p>Yes, I've been writing a book. </p>
<p>Poetry? </p>
<p>No. </p>
<p>Short stories? </p>
<p>Neither. </p>
<p>Autobiographical? </p>
<p>I'll walk out. </p>
<p>Ok. Ok. Let's just call it... <br><br>....<br><br>... some kind of book of prose, then?</p>
<p>I'll share it when it's ready. </p>
<p>And when do you expect that to be? </p>
<p>Before I'm thirty-two. </p>
<p>Anything else you'd like to add? </p>
<p>Generally, what you said. </p>
<p>Great. Well, thank you for your time. </p>
<p>My pleasure. </p>
<p>And for not walking out. </p>
<p>No problem. </p>
<p>.... </p>
<p>.... </p>
<p>Are you feeling quite well? </p>
<p>Actually, I'm rather sleepy. You? </p>
<p>Yes. Exactly what you said </p>
<p>May I? </p>
<p>After you. </p>
<p>Zzzz </p>
<p>Zzzz <br><br>Zzzzzzzz<br> </p>
<p>So there you have it!

<div>Animal Parts has come to America to play, and strengthen the muscles in his back. Living out of sandwich bags. Keep your ears tuned to the yelps and howls coming from local bars near you. what's behind that tree?</div>

We've heard several rumblings of Gorillas in the mangroves. Other reports from the fields suggest new women are being bred.<br><div style="text-align: justify;">We've come bearing gifts, an offer to assuage the looming forces. Our friends JC and co. from the Animal Parts faith have unveiled a beast of their own, the guitar thrashing, drum stick spinning, helicopter arm flailing track "King Of Kings".<br>
If you are the type to worry, the sounds of this track among tracks are more than ample to flesh out any threatening forces.<br>
Indeed, open up all the windows and doors, turn all dials up as close as they get to eleven, and by heavens, thou wilt be safe. thou art loved by the Animal himself.<br><br>

Signed, Mr. Beast</div>Animal Partstag:animalpartsmusic.com,2005:Post/17600422012-06-15T01:00:00-04:002023-12-10T12:55:18-05:00Greetings From Animal Parts<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/38445/f959db30e8a7e565d779c0b66287f887cfc1d96f/medium/Profile.jpg?1377541185" class="size_orig justify_right border_medium" alt="" height="451" width="300" />What happens when a man submits to the sum of his parts? Mustn’t it be gruesome, being overtaken by your inner animal? But behave, all you ‘fraidy teddy huggers! Beware, all premature party shufflers! Look behind the curtain to see who’s standing with his back to the cloth…<br><br>
Formerly known to perform under his Christian name, Joshua Cockerill has been reborn. He has spent years traveling with his guitar (and sometimes without), dismantling a chest of drawers, writing speeches for unnamed local politicians, secluding himself in a cabin and it’s adjacent snow fort, and collecting evidence against his useless organs (some of which he’s had removed). As evidence, Mr. C no longer looks like the kid he once did. He dresses sharper. Has more hair. And has found his voice while on vacation in the forests of Ontario. In fact, his new batch of 2012 music has qualities of a man having come to terms with his inner animal. “I've always considered myself a stray horse” he admits.<br><br>
Indeed, he has succumbed to his primal corners, and now re-emerges with fellow mammals as Animal Parts. But Don’t fear the name or look into the sun! They wouldn’t make their music noises, just singing and singing, without its meaning something. Simply ask musical guru Billy Vitt, who claims ‘Animal Parts’ new album ‘Animal Parts’ “had me exceeding the speed limit and crossing the lines. I haven’t had more fun since I was a school boy and forced to wear shorts.”<br><br>
And so it is. From the horses mouth. The birth of something truly unknown. Finally, answers to the murmurs of “who does he see when he turns out the lights?” The music can be yours on August 21st, 2012: a day for going outdoors to feed old bread to unbeknownst birds.<br>
I leave you with this final thought, dear reader, from the album’s shortest title, a reference to the overhead fluf fluff fluttering of a chickadee in flight, “Behave, and you will hear it too.”<br><br>
Fair is well and peas to all. <br>Animal Parts
