OK - so we know it's been awhile but DEJ is still around....
well around Alberta - the bands been geographically divided.
Tracy B is hanging with her man in Cold Lake and Aaron and
Tracy S are still doing their thing in the big city (I'm referring
to Edmonton silly!). But we got ourselves a gig coming up...
Check us out at:

So many things goin' on...we've a new band member!
Tracy Spratt has come on board the DEJ bus...as bass
player and background vocalist. Tracy S is bound to add
fuel to the smoking sounds of DEJ...she's had alot of
classical training (but we won't hold it against her) and
may even add keyboards at a later date.
But the ultimate question, how is Aaron going to
handle two Tracys? I think we need another
boy to even things out. Any male fiddle players out
there? Named Aaron of course. Hey maybe we should
change our name to DEJ squared! Not that we're
square or anything...not that there's anything wrong with
that... (tb)

A major issue for us lately: home burns - you know 'cause
we're a low budget type band so we have to burn our
CD's ourselves. Several times people have told us that
the CD we sold them will play in a car stereo but not
in their unit at home.
What's the deal? I searched the web and found two
sites which explore the whys...(tb)

There are some big time contests happening in our
local music scene. Here are a few worth entering:
Northern Alberta Singer/Songwriter Competition First prize of this baby is a 4 song demo produced at Beta Sound - we recorded the vocals and rhythm guitar for "With You" at Beta
and what a bang for our buck(s)! Entry forms are available
at the Beta Sound site as well as at the Sidetrack Cafe's website. (Oh and entrants must be Canadian
citizens living in northern Alberta.)
The Great Canadian Music Dream Even more astounding than a Beta Sound demo - the winner
will "...star in a television and radio special that will be produced
and broadcast within two years of the national final." That's right folks,
you'll have to make it through a regional level before competing
for the big'un. They're kinda picky - so make sure you dot all
them eyes and cross yer tees before sending off an entry. (tb)

Right. So maybe I'm wigging out...but there is a
slight possibility that we might open for Canada's
coolest punk-folk artist Ember Swift and her trio. It's all just in the vague...you never know...maybe...
future - but hey - we're going to enjoy the moment!
Will keep everyone posted as to developments.
What an opportunity - what
an experience! Thanks to Halli for taking a shot
in the dark. (tb)
