We Are in B.C!!!How life can change in a heartbeat!!! Last that we planned, we were thinking of heading down to the west coast of LAX.... but we settled for Vancouver instead. West enough for ya? We thought so!!!<br />
<br />
So, it has been a while, and trust me we have missed you all... But trust us, THE MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE!<br />
<br />
In the transition from Toronto - Vancouver, we have to leave behind the talented, Craig Koziar. Craig was with us for almost 6 months after Pasha and me pieced this band back together. <br />
<br />
But we are ever so glad we did!!!<br />
<br />
Already after just two jam sessions here in B.C, we have 2 new songs in the works, and we are making some serious plans to finish the demo we promised!!!<br />
<br />
This demo will have 4 songs on it - the best of the last 6 months of hard work among the 15 new songs we had to choose from.<br />
<br />
We are currently seeking a new drummer to join the fun... even though it will be tough to replace you Craig!!<br />
<br />

I am situated downtown Vancouver in the West End, which is a huge different lifestyle for me! I went from the suburbs of Richmond Hill, Ontario to the busy and lively streets of downtown Van. Pasha is renting a room in a house with a group of REALLY SUPER COOL PEOPLE who don't mind that we transformed one of the spare rooms in the basement into our new jam room. The walls are lined with old records, there is gear wall to wall, so it has the perfect vibe for creativity!<div>

Anyways, times have been so hectic here in the FAIK labs, we're working on our demo here with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Woolix?fref=ts" target="_blank">Woolix</a>, while in the process of our big move out west!<br />
<br />
LA is no longer our destination, but Canada's own greatest west coast city Vancouver! We will be all moved in there for July, so VANNY; HERE WE COME! Get ready for some FAIK action up in yo entertainment streets!<br />
<br />
While Carm is flying back and forth between T.O and Vanny, I'm getting my shit together for the greatest Road Trip of my life! Photos, videos and blogs will follow as soon as I hit the road! Don't wanna give away too much info but I'll be making a lot of stops along the way to make it a 2 week trip to remember!<br />
<br />
As much as we're gonna miss our fam here, we're looking forward to expanding it to Vancouver. I hope we'll receive the same warm welcome into the scene as we did here in Toronto. Keep up with us and stay in touch.<br />
<br />
We love you all <3<br />

This song didn't make the cut for our upcoming demo, to be releases late 2013, but I thought I'd share our rough recording regardless. So blessed to be making music with two of the most awesome ppl I know!<br />
<br />
This is Bloodletting. A song about *drum roll* heartbreak, insecurities, and struggle. I personally heart this song very much... It invokes much emotion every time I hear/perform it. <br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy!! Don't forget to subscribe, like, share, comment, the WHOLE LOT! :)<br />

Sorry it's been a while, life's been kinda hectic for us all here at the FAIK laboratories as of late.
Good news is that we have finally started the recording process of our latest demo. Teaming up with a good friend of mine Manny whom I've known since middle school, and possibly recording drum tracks at the Rehearsal Factory.
Bad news is that there is no bad news. :( Sorry haters ):
At the end of this month we are planning to have the drums completed for 4 songs, and taking our sweet time doing it all because we want some quality in this demo.
We've got songs flying out our butts here, and hopefully soon y'all get to hear them all at our next show, which is yet to be announced, but hopefully soon!
We've got the LAXPERIENCE episode of Being The Band in it's final stages of editing right now and we'll be documenting the whole Demo Recording experience as well!
So common grab your friends and get ready for Adventure Time with Forgetting All I Know!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17210739958808874462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682103050582691948.post-12541877276330262992013-02-26T14:00:00.001-08:002013-02-26T14:00:19.013-08:00Arts and Crafts with Forgetting All I KnowCan't believe we forgot to share this one with you!!

(LAX...Experience... Thought It Was Clever!)Hey everyone! Carm here!<br />
So Pasha and I have been back in Toronto for a few weeks now, and we are still California dreaming.<br />
<br />
While we were down there, we took a LOT, and I mean, a LOT of footage, documenting our experience down in Los Angeles, California. We finally have found a moment to breath in our hectic schedules to start post-production on this and put it all together for the world to see.<br />
<br />
In this piece, and not to spoil any big surprises, you will see all the random fun we were up to, and of course, a live performance by us, minus Craig, (our drummer) *tear* down in a trendy, L.A coffee lounge.<br />
<br />
I am still so hyped from band practice, that just ended half an hour ago. We have narrowed down our 14+ songs to 4 for our upcoming demo... EXCITING!
This week we will be in checking our different studios and ways we can make this next project become a reality.<br />

We are in LA, West Hollywood, California. Home of the awesome pants and conqueror of all sandwiches! No, seriously, this happens here everyday. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are having an amazing vacation here with some really good people, awesome friends and the beautiful weather that we can't seem to get enough of. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So far we've managed to find one gig at an open mic in Santa Monica, at a place called UnUrban. It was really cool to share the stage with the local talent here, and even cooler when me and Carm won the raffle! We got a $25 gift card to the most awesomest music store here on Sunset Blvd SAM ASH! And bought a tambourine for our next gig here! =D I love the cycle of music!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another awesome place we got to visit was Universal Studios! The rides were great and we had some Doc Brown's Chicken (The Finest Chicken of All Time)! Also drove through Beverly Hills, AMAZING BALLS HOUSES! Venice Beach on a foggy day made for some wicked eerie footage and fun on the beach. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can honestly say that I am in love with this place and never want to leave! So many more adventures laying ahead, I can't wait.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks to everyone who made this possible, Sergei, Carm, residents of 1650 and everyone else we're met so far.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank god for open mics. Been too long since we've been on stage. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Peace out and goodnight! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

With LA coming up, so are we with new songs and to tell you the truth, it's hard to decide which ones are gonna make the cut.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So many heart felt songs but not all of them fit together. I never had to think twice about a song before. But at least they won't be gone forever, just temporarily suspended until the time for them will come. Maybe future albums, singles, etc. So much to think about and I'm not getting tired of it at all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Loving every second of chasing my dreams. I just want to play for people and see their response. I wonder how far we will get and where we'll end up, although I never wanna stop.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the time to start getting really prepared for all the shows, planning out tours and the next good move for the band. I got a few ideas for some merch, you'll all find out about that soon enough, hang tight. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope your holidays were a blast and that this year will rock you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Til next time,</div>

Or Happy December... or It's freakin' Getting COLD Outside...!!!!!!Hey y'all, Carm here!!!<br />
<br />
Think we forgot about you, huh? Not a chance in hellz!<br />
<br />
So here is what you need to know!!<br />
<br />
Forgetting All I Know has just finished filming episode 3 of "Being the Band!" If you haven't seen any of the webisodes, you can click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/beingtheband" target="_blank">HERE!</a> Make sure to check back on this You Tube channel from time to time, as we are always up to something... usually something no good, but that is for YOU to judge! *muahaha*<br />
<br />
This holiday season is busy for everyone, but especially in the FAIK Laboratories... We have now put together enough songs for a brand new CD!!! Translation: more than 30 mins of Forgetting All I Know goodness for your auditory enjoyment. Over the next few months, we will be working on perfecting our material because you better believe that you will be able to catch FAIK live in the new year!<br />
<br />
*Sounds of applause!*<br />
<br />
All these awesome things are happening because we have stolen Pasha back from his travels. He is now tied to his guitar amp in my basement, but don't worry, I feed him cookies and ice cream once a day to make sure he doesn't die. Hygiene, optional.<br />
<br />
But no kidding, two weeks without band practice last month was almost the death of me. I felt this huge void in my life *tear* that you just can't dismiss jamming by yourself. <br />
<br />
Personally, I'm pretty sure I am suffering from writer's block. But I remain optimistic and know that one day, in the middle of trying to fall asleep, I will start dreaming up the most randomly awesome lyrics... and just as we warned you in our last webisode, WRITE THAT SH*T DOWN ASAP. <br />
<br />
.... Maybe I should take my own advice. *Le sigh*<br />
<br />
If you missed our last episode, focusing on Song Writing, check it out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCpfdOQc9Tg" target="_blank">HERE!</a><br />
<br />
Thanks for checking in, and until NEXT TIME....!<br />

My guitar, the jam room, and having good times with Carm and Craig.<br />
<br />
I wonder what they're up to right now... Probably running through the meadows holding hands and brushing each others hair with golder hair brushes...<br />
<br />
But at least I'm enjoying my visit to Israel. My family whom I haven't seen in over a decade is warm and loving, the weather is perfect, I just came back from a walk on the beach. Its windy today and the waves are amazing! As they crash on the shore, the salt from the sea evaporates into a sort of mist and coats my entire body. My lips are salty, my lungs are clear and my mind is at peace. Its so great to be back but at the same time so sad that I can't stay.<br />
<br />
This is exactly what I needed. Life in Canada is great and all, but its no tropical country. I am still not and will never be used to the cold weather, the bad attitude that majority of the people have and the unnecessary fast pace to life that everyone is trying to achieve.<br />
<br />
But all of that doesn't even matter because as long as I have FAIK I will be happy no matter where I am. Nowhere is perfect and nothing lasts forever, but I will always need my band. I can never leave them because home is where the heart is, and my heart is in the music I make with them.<br />
<br />
I love you guys, and I can't wait to get back and work on some more rockin' tunes!<br />
<br />
P.B.<br />
<br />
p.s. there are SO MANY cats here! ;-;Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17210739958808874462noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682103050582691948.post-46960383556007780222012-11-07T17:40:00.001-08:002012-11-07T17:41:16.937-08:00The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy DogHey everyone! Carm here!<br />
<br />
We have finally finished our SECOND episode of Being the Band, now available on YouTube.<br />
<br />
This episode was so much fun to film, and focuses on song writing. For all you fellow song writers out there, make sure to share your own tips and suggestions here or on You Tube.<br />

We are not letting the cold weather bring us down! Forgetting All I Know is keeping in good spirits. Having a good band dynamic helps with the creative process, as you probably wouldn't want to collaborate with people you didn't like.<br />

<br />
I have been home-ridden for the last few days. Yup, it's flu season in North America, and we have been getting some very strange weather in Toronto. As most of you are probably aware, we had some left over winds come in last night from "Sandy".<br />
<br />
As a result of the weather change, I have contracted a nice little flu. Good for me right? For sure! But this blog entry is going to focus on the life of the vocalist when sick. I just want to share some tips from the one and only, ME!<br />
<br />
Ok so you are feeling a bit stuffed up are we? Here are some tips:<br />
<br />
- Hey! Don't sing or speak if you don't have to! Yeah, it's a bit difficult, I know, because personally, I can't shut up for a second.<br />
- Make sure you are drinking a LOT of liquids, not just the hot stuff like tea, because caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee, though good for you in most cases, can dry up your vocal cords even more.<br />
- Protect your throat, this is your baby, your instrument. This is a good time to bust out your winter scarfs and rock them hard.<br />
- Nasal spray is your friend. Help clear up your sinuses if they are bothering you by increasing your sprays to twice a day instead of once (so once in the morning, and once before you go to sleep).<br />
- Do you have a humidifier? You know, one of those things that makes steam? Well lock yourself in your room or a small space for a few hours and soak in the moisture.<br />
- Don't smoke! If you are a singer, you shouldn't smoke regardless! Unless the raspy voice is what you are a going for.<br />
- Natural foods such as honey, ginger, and lemon are your best friend. (Thank you Seth from the Tricky Ones for reminding me of this one!)<br />
<br />
These tips aren't a "all in all" cure for you, but they will help you refrain from further damaging your vocal cords during your sickness. You need to let all the liquids that are blocking your breathing/nasal system clear out because trying to hit those notes during this time will cause a LOT of strain.<br />
<br />
So, that is where I am right now. Trying not to strain the cords. It kind of sucks being sick. I had to cancel band practice, and well, spend more time cooped up at home.<br />
<br />
You know you heart your band when you miss them when you have to miss band practice! <3<br />
<br />
And well, as my latest entry says, I have a lot to learn, especially with my newly acquired bass!<br />
<br />
So okay, I took today off, but tomorrow, regardless of my state of being, I need to get back to work. I can't sing right now, so I'll pick up the bass. At least I can learn those parts better so I can start training myself to sing and play bass when I am better.<br />
<br />
I'm excited for the challenge, so this damn cold needs to take a hike!<br />
<br />
'Til next time!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/BeingTheBand?feature=plcp" target="_blank">Being The Band</a> is now our official Youtube channel (only 1 Webisode up for now) documenting the life and times of Forgetting All I Know!<br />
<br />
I gotta say filming it was hilariously amusing, and the bloopers at the end of the video speak for themselves. We're hoping to publish 1-2 episodes per month for now, but once we get better at this whole thing we'll probably be filming every week or so.<br />
<br />
So if you wanna see us running around acting life goofs, having a blast and talking junk about band stuff; TUNE IN! Don't Tuna.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the clip, subscribe and leave comments because we'd love to hear/read/EXPERIENCE them all =)<br />
