Widow’s Walk Official Website

Thanks to everyone who dug themselves out from Ottawa’s first blizzard of the year for the show on Friday night. Both Casse-Tête and To No End put on awesome performances that helped make for a high-voltage night of prog and metal. \m/

We also wanted to say thanks to Mark at CKCU’s Infinite Ceiling radio show for playing “The Agenda” on Thursday night, Mark runs a great show every week that you can also download from their website.

The time has come now for us to take our cue from the great Canadian grizzly and go into hibernation for a few months… we’ve got lots of new material just waiting to be explored and we’re looking forward to a promising vocalist audition in January. We’ll also be adding some more media in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

The details for our next show are now confirmed:

Widow’s Walk w/ To No End and Casse-Tête

Friday, December 16th
Doors at 8pm / 19+
$7 tickets / $8 at the door

Our next gig has been confirmed for December 16th at Mavericks, alongside prog-rockers Casse-Tête and local metallers To No End.  More info on show time and ticket price will be coming soon.

We’ve got some great photos and video from our first show last month at Mavericks, we’re hoping to get some of that online for you as soon as possible.  Also, special thanks to Chuck Ho from Casse-Tête who put together an awesome video for the Agenda demo recording for us, keep an eye out for some clips from that too.

We now have a mailing list that you can subscribe to by entering your e-mail address on the right.  This will be the best way from now on to be automatically notified about Widows Walk news.  We also have a new Comments section where you can leave pearls of wisdom for the band

Update – Nov. 10 2005 @ 3:25PM

We encountered minor problems with the mailing list. It is now fixed and functional. When you enter your e-mail address, you should receive an e-mail to confirm.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Mavericks last night to help make the inaugural Progtoberfest, as well as our debut show, a great success!  We had a great time playing to a packed house at Mavericks, and Casse-Tête and Year Of The Gone both put on awesome shows as well.  We’d like to give a special thanks to Gary Lauzon (Casse-Tête bassist and co-host of the La Villa Strangiato radio show) for getting this gig off the ground!

It sounds like we got some great video from the show too so we’ll hopefully be updating the Media section with some more bits and bites in the very near future.

We are hoping to set up another show in December, and we’ll also be setting up a mailing list really soon, once subscribed you’ll get notified of any interesting Widow’s Walk news.

We’re happy to announce that we’ve just added a full song to our Media page for your downloading pleasure.  The demo version of “The Agenda” (working title) was recorded in September at Fat Dog Productions in Ottawa.  Like most of our songs, this one will one day have vocals but for now it is presented in instrumental format     Enjoy!

This is a good time to mention that we are still searching for a lead vocalist to complete our lineup.  We are looking for someone who is into our kind of music, has a willingness to contribute to the songwriting process, and will hopefully bring some lyrical abilities to the table.  Inquiries can be directed to the e-mail address at the right side of this page.

We’re all really excited about the upcoming show next Wednesday at Mavericks, it’s going to be a great night.  We hope to see you there!
