It is the Fifth Anniversary of The Creeping Nobodies. The first show wasn't played until September 21, 2001 - HOWEVER - it was the summer of 2001 that the band took shape and started rehearsing and writing songs. Throughout July and into August of 2001 it became clear that The Creeping Nobodies had been born. Since there's no exact date that can be determined as the crucial moment where the band became aware of itself as a full-fledged & undeniable entity; the anniversary can then be celebrated all summer long, or, at any random point between July and September that feels correct.
The fifth anniversary of the very first show by The Creeping Nobodies will be celebrated Sept 21 in Phoenix, Arizona at Trunk Space. Unlike the time & space in which to celebrate the formation of the band, this date is not interchangeable with any other.
+
The new Anagram/Creeping Nobodies Split 12" vinyl EP is on track for completion in time for the start of The Creeping Nobodies U.S.A. tour on September 6. October 13 still slated as release date.
Full track listings as follows:
The Creeping Nobodies
1. Sacrosanction
2. Psychic Weapons
Anagram
1. Mt. St. Capt. Doom
2. Manic Indulgence
It's strictly limited to 500 copies, custom designed by Doublenaut, & very good for listening.
As previously mentioned on this page, the Split 12" will be co-released by Dead Astronaut & Blocks Recording Club, and (as also mentioned), both bands will be playing shows at the end of October in Montreal, Toronto, Oshawa, Waterloo, Guelph, and more.

Creeping back into the studio this weekend (& mixing to the end of January), with an aim to finish the forthcoming album (scheduled Spring 2006). Jeff McMurrich will be at the controls once more, again at Halla Music, as had happened with the most recent Creeping Nobodies recording: the Half Saboteur EP on Bloodworks Music.
Two days ago, the live-to-air session on January 18 at CFRE in Mississauga did occur. It took place during (and in support of) the station's fundraising drive. The following songs were played:
Sound Of Joy
Willing Spirit
Sense Of Belonging
Golden Apples (Country Teasers)

The first three songs listed above are the songs that will be recorded this weekend at Halla Music.
The Country Teasers cover version was first heard at The Boat with Indian Jewelry and Broken Tree Fort last November.
The Creeping Nobodies wish CFRE success in their plans for expansion in the coming year(s).
Upcoming shows in February include February 4th in Montreal at Sala Rossa with Montreal's own We Are Wolves and also with Bloodworks labelmates No Dynamics. Then, a show February 24th in Toronto at The Silver Dollar with Disguises and Vertical Struts. (The latter are a duo from Edmonton, Alberta.) Full details as follows:

Out now!!! The Half Saboteur EP!!!
In case you missed the Toronto show celebrating the new EP, there is one more show planned in Toronto for 2005: Thursday November 3 at The Boat in Kensington Market.

Also on November 3; we urge you to try to find a way to attend the
opening of a new exhibit of art by Brooklyn artist James Morrison at the Open Studio Gallery. (401 Richmond St. W - Suite 104)
James has done artwork for Xiu Xiu, Indian Jewelry, The Creeping
Nobodies and his work has been featured at galleries in New York, Toronto's own Art Metropole & more.
The Creeping Nobodies first met James on a very special night in Knoxville, TN when he was performing with NTX+Electric (who are now Indian Jewelry -- we met them that night, too, another reason the night was special) & James was wrapped up in a sheet like a ghost waving around a bright light while milling through the audience and/or rolling on the floor. Since then friendship has endured between James Morrison, Indian Jewelry & The Creeping Nobodies. That another special night involving all these people can occur in Toronto is an exciting thing, indeed.
James' new series is entitled "Absence Makes The Heart" and will be exhibited at
the Open Studio space at 401 Richmond St. W (Suite 104) opening Thursday November 3 from 6-8pm.
October 3, 2005
The official release show for the Half Saboteur EP is nearly here!
A Toronto & Montreal show are planned for Oct 15/16, with some U.S. shows accompanying!
The official release show will take place October 15th in Toronto at Trin-Port, located on Ossington St. just slightly North of College St.
The line-up will include No Dynamics (Also on Bloodworks!) and Old Time Relijun (K Records), the latter of which will be performing a number of shows with The Creeping Nobodies around this time.
Also of note is that Old Time Relijun are currently promoting their new full-length entitled 2012, and that the No Dynamics 12" (again, also on Bloodworks) is barely a month old.
More shows will surround this one, including one in Buffalo the night before & one in Montreal the night after. Several shows are planned to follow.
All the details, as known thus far, are below:
10/14/2005 - Mowhawk Place, Buffalo, NY
w/ Old Time Relijun . 8pm
10/15/2005 - Trin-Port, Toronto, ON (249 Ossington St.)

After the October shows, one more show is planned in November at the Boat, which will see Indian Jewelry grace Toronto with a live show once more, on the exact same day that James Morrison (who has done artwork for Creeping Nobodies, Indian Jewelry & so many more) will be opening his artshow in Toronto. The idea here is that you will be able to check out James' art earlier in the day/evening, and see the show later in the night. Also playing the show at The Boat will be Broken Tree Fort. More details, about all these things will be yet to come, though, of course!
As for the tour just past, it was a strange time in which to be travelling through America, in the wake of the devastation unfolding in the South from the Hurricane (and later yet another Hurricane).
It was, indeed, impossible not to feel the effects of the catastrophe, especially the further South we travelled. And yet, we experienced all ranges of reactions, thought, and opinion, which only further drove home the point that there is much more to consider and so many more sides to see than could ever be covered in terms of a brief summary or even three straight weeks of reporting.
Before the show in Charlottesville, an older gentleman got up and took the stage to plead to younger generations (of now & yet to come) not to be complacent or to forget those who died in New Orleans. He pointed out that racism is still alive and well in America, though, it has abated much through his time, and will likely abate more as time goes on, but he stressed that it is still in our hands not to turn away from events like this and forget. It is up to us, our children & our grandchildren to make sure that more poor people don't have to die in vain or be left behind. He then broke into a song of hope & freedom, urging us to be happy, positive & free; and to ask for this for everyone in equal measure. This is just one example of the many moods that existed at the time. And also just one of the ways that the full gravity of the situation would be brought to attention front & centre.
And despite all the horrible news, despite the criticism & reports of the day, despite meeting still-shocked, confused & rather defeated "refugees" of New Orleans staying in Mississippi or Tennessee, with their "blood-money" cheques from the Government and the sad knowledge that it could never be enough to compensate the true losses that took place in that time... Despite all this, we also couldn't help to find many positive & encouraging things, too. We met incredible people, we saw amazing things, we visited & stayed in places and spaces where a sense of caring, compassion, community & generosity of spirit exist.
To name a few, there was Nuci's Space in Athens, GA., with its outreach programs for anyone in need of any type of help, no matter who, how, where or why. There was The Firehouse in North Manchester, In., a converted Fire Hall that put on shows & events & where high-school students are encouraged to (& do) take an active role in running things. There was The Shed in Palmer, MA., a little shed in a backyard which could support a whole scene & offer an alternative space for touring bands to stop and play. And there was The Werehouse in Winston-Salem, with a beautiful venue, an excellent roastery & a place for many to stay, to meet & to find involvement in one of many arts-based activities & events.
This is just a small reflection on a mere three weeks of touring. The bands we played with, the people we met, the friends we visited or who visited us, the many who helped us out, all of those who saw us & introduced themselves to us, all of this is part of what makes playing & touring so exciting & memorable. We had a wonderful tour and can't wait to play more shows at home and away. We hope to see you all again.

Yes, it's been busy lately.
In between recording & mixing a new EP, preparing to return to New York City for the final mixing session for the next full-length, and playing a few shows here and there; we have also been booking an American tour and writing new songs. In fact, amongst all the shows we've listed in the news & shows page, there was also a slightly secret one that we found time to play in our practise space a little while ago. This show occured on Sat. June 25 & included James Anderson playing a solo set, Tradition playing as a duo, The full complement of The Creeping Nobodies & Jon Rae and The River.
The most recent show we played was just a couple of days ago in Port Dover. There was a cancellation and Hallucinagenetics didn't get a chance to play because the Legion Hall shut down the show before it was over. Our set, however, wasn't stopped! The show listing is below, just for history's sake:
Port Dover : July 22 at The Legion (212 Market Street)
w/ Jerry Can, Inflation Kills, Pardon my Goat (Cancelled) & Hallucinagenetics (Didn't play).
Show 7:30pm - $5 - All Ages - A 'Naughty Buttons' presentation.
That show will represent our last show for a month or so, while we finish up recordings & while Sarah tours the U.S. with Memories Forever.
The next Creeping Nobodies show is on August 21 in Toronto with Aids Wolf. This show will kick off both Aids Wolf & The Creeping Nobodies for respective tours of the USA.
The Creeping Nobodies will be playing shows starting
Fri Aug 26th until Sat Sep 17th in the Eastern United States of America. Confirmed so far are shows in Plattsburgh, Palmer, Boston, NYC, Providence, Baltimore, DC, Charlottesville, Greenville, Chapel Hill, Knoxville, Memphis, North Manchester, Pittsburgh & Buffalo. More to be announced. Contact us, as ever, through creeping@thecreepingnobodies.com to find out more or to make enquiries.
As for the next record release, the recording of an EP has been occurring in the last week with Jeff McMurrich at Halla Music and in Jeff's home. The last of the recording & most of the mixing will occur tomorrow. The EP will be relesaed on vinyl and is part of a series which has been conceived of by Rob Godon. He is also assisting with the production of the recording(s). The first EP in the series will be released by No Dynamics on August 19 and 20th at The Bagel on College St. in Toronto. The Creeping Nobodies will release the second record in the series shortly thereafter.
This is, of course, not the only recording being finished. The follow-up to last year's Stop Movement Stop Loss is nearing completion. The last weekend of July will see the final session of mixing for the album, once again at Fun City Studio in NYC. The songs will then be mastered & released as a full-length CD in the f-u-t-u-r-e.

May 25, 2005
What of Montreal, you might ask?
Well... After a slight bit of unbridled enthusiasm after the show at the Electric Tractor, two Creeping Nobodies went spinning, lurching and crashing into a table full of glasses & bottles. It seems spinning someone around and losing your balance isn't a smart thing to do, afterall. Sarah escaped with bruises and minor abrasions while Derek received three stitches to one ear after spending eight hours sleeping upright in the emergency room of Jean Talon Hospital. No matter, though. The night was memorable, and the memorable part was before the unfortunate antics & emergency room visits. The show was fantastic & Electric Tractor's 1st birthday (and only?!!) was a fine one!

Happy summer! / The Creeping Nobodies..
May 1, 2005
The Creeping Nobodies have, indeed, just finished further recording and mixing in New York City!
It was quite exciting and productive to return to Fun City Studios and work with Wharton Tiers. The sessions remain slightly unfinished at this time, even after extending to an unexpected extra day and involving unforseen temporary setbacks. The result of these sessions (so far) is ten new tracks (a couple as of now never previously performed or heard.) Two more tracks from the previous October recording sessions are to be mixed in the near future.
These recording/mixing sessions were a true joy, but exhausting. James Anderson took an overnight bus to add some very special overdubs to the recordings at hand and left the same day in time to return home to take one of his children to daycare. The Creeping Nobodies were well looked after by some very accomodating & friendly friends.
The act of leaving the city was complicated by further van failures, resulting in the towing (and near undoing of a tow-truck) and an hour-long inspection at a Brooklyn garage. This familiar wrinkle in plans also resulted in a four-hour pause to sleep in the van at a rest-stop in Upper State New York since it refused to start. Thankfully it thought better of this decision just after the break of dawn and the trick of fueling the vehicle with the motor running was met without any negative complication. All these many things combined to make an interesting and satisfying trip.
And now, there are more details about the next show The Creeping Nobodies will be playing. It is still happening, as promised, in Montreal on Thursday, May 12 with The Chinese Stars. The newest news is that The Hot Springs have also been confirmed, and that the show will be in celebration of the first anniversary of the Electric Tractor venue. This is all good cause for celebration, to be sure. The show is being co-presented by Mandatory Moustache and Blue Skies Turn Black.
Full/official/nicely-laid-out details look something very much like this:
Madatory Moustache & Blue Skies Turn Black present:
(Electric Tractor 1 year anniversary!)
THE CHINESE STARS (Providence RI - GSL - ex-Arab on Radar, Six Finger Satellite)

April 15, 2005
The Creeping Nobodies will be recording in New York City, again at Fun City Studios with Wharton Tiers, at the end of April. This will mark the second session (the last one occuring back in October 2004) recording brand new songs for future new things.
Thursday, May 12 will see a return visit to Montreal's wonderous venue Electric Tractor, to play a show with The Chinese Stars with yet-to-be announced guests to be added to the bill. More details to come, or visit the above link to get the update straight from the horse's mouth, as it were.
Best wishes to Indian Jewelry on the rest of their tour. The set they played last night at Sneaky Dee's was nothing short of amazing. Please don't forget to check out their stuff online, they have a page of all the music they have been making in their various guises over the years. The show last night felt special from beginning to end.
Updates to this site have been happening greater frequency these days, so please feel free to check back occasionally as 2005 is turning out to be a busy year. Note also that the links section of this site has been much expanded lately, and will hopefully provide for some interesting things to investigate if you have the time.
Happy spring!
April 2, 2005
Upcoming show is April 14 at Sneaky Dee's with Bush League, Indian Jewelry & Boyfriend Material.
DJ Heavy Early will be in charge of selecting the non-live music for the night.
Indian Jewelry are travelling from the West Coast of the U.S.A. and have also been known under the various guises and forms of NTX+Electric, Swarm Of Angels, Japanic, and more. Visit their website to find out more about them & hear samples of the music they made in all their many incarnations.
April will also see The Creeping Nobodies travelling back to New York City to record more music for upcoming release later this year. The recording will involve a return to Fun City Studios to continue working with Wharton Tiers.
Spring & early summer plans include more shows around and outside Toronto, for instance, June 11 in Guelph at Ed's Video.

The Creeping Nobodies on tour now!
The Creeping Nobodies have successfully released their newest disc STOP MOVEMENT STOP LOSS on Blocks Recording Club and are currently touring the North and South Eastern areas of the United States of America.
Before leaving Toronto for the tour, there were three shows to support the new CD in Toronto, as well as two appearances at the Pop Montreal festival in Montreal.
The past few days has seen The Creeping Nobodies play Brooklyn, Washington, DC and Charlottesville, VA.
Also, the band recorded once again with Wharton Tiers at his Fun City Studios in Manhattan, beginning work on a future release.
In addition to this, there was also a live interview & feature on the band on WHFR's (Washington Heights Free Radio) "Far Too Canadian" show.
The next two weeks will see the band perform several shows through North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The Creeping Nobodies will then return home to Toronto to continue writing new material and so forth.

LAST MINUTE CHANGE IN PLANS!!
The aforementioned Brave New Waves session airs tonight (August 6). It was re-scheduled at the last minute from its original August 13 broadcast date. Sorry for any confusion or words otherwise. We found out much too late! All other news remains as originally detailed below...
August 4, 2004
Two completely different & exclusive live sets from The Creeping Nobodies will be broadcast in August; one in the U.S. and one in Canada!
WFMU will be airing the session The Creeping Nobodies recorded during the recent (July) U.S. tour. The broadcast date is Saturday, August 7th. Check out Cherry Blossom Clinic at 3pm, and also note that after August 7 you'll be able to find the session archived on the web at the Cherry Blossom Clinic playlist site!
Next, the CBC's wonderful Brave New Waves will be airing the set The Creeping Nobodies played earlier this year for Brave New Wave's 20th anniversary at The Drake Hotel in Toronto. This broadcast happens on August 13.(EDITOR'S NOTE: It actually happened on August 6, instead.) Brave New Waves occurs slightly after midnight EST on CBC Radio One, and can also be heard via the internet.
The debut edition of the Electrical Tape DVD 'zine is now available and The Creeping Nobodies are the lead-off profile! The entire 'zine is highly entertaining, featuring wonderful segments on Les Mouches, Ratsicule and Consumption Records' Matias Rozenberg, as well as videos from Anagram & Les Angles Morts.
The Creeping Nobodies are ecstatic to announce that the full-length follow up to I-X-U will be released on September 25th at Cinecycle with Les Mouches. The new disc is called 'Stop Movement Stop Loss' and was recorded and mixed in several locations over the last two years. The final sessions were done by Wharton Tiers in his NYC Fun City Studios. The new CD will be released in Canada by the Blocks Recording Club. We are most excited, and invite you out to the show on September 25th! A follow-up tour is planned for October! More details on all of this soon!
The summer continues...
Happy listening! - The Creeping Nobodies
