WEBSITE UPDATE!!!

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0700

In an incredible turn of events the 21 Tandem Repeats Website had been updated... Hot Damn, New corn fed bio, new album up in the music page (and nifty flash player on top of site)... perhaps we need a blog... that's a joke... if you want to read a blog by this band check :The Super Robertson Chronicles, The Super Robertson Man Gardening Blog, The Super Robertson Man Parenting Blog, The Super Robertson Supper Show Blog... if you get through those dogs get in touch and I'll send you a few more links.

This is a band, enjoy the new music and please tell the internet world about 21 Tandem Repeats... after all it is so easy to do now... a little tweet here, an update there, a like, a posting can all be done faster than one could sip a gulp of tea.

we are one

"One Little Dream" in the can

Sun, 21 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0800

That's right folks, the next 21 Tandem Repeats album is in the can and is set to be mixed down on December 4th and 5th. It's been a long time coming but well worth the wait.... I had the distinct pleasure of having a few new stars shine on the recording including the debut of Shawn Killaly in the big studio, Joined By C.S. Rippin on the Grand Piano. Alvaro Rojas handled the guitars and Willingdon Black is now warming up the vocal chops with a stint in a local choir.

I'm pretty confident on calling the release "One little dream"

It's just one little dream hidden like a good seam and when you look all the people they will laugh
will you go for a drink will you sit home and think neither way is right or is wrong

It's not unkind to step out of line, you've got to be bad to be good
seasons change and people they stay the same, you've got to be bad to be good

Art is a line and it follows a spine and you know when you know when it works
Regret is a step and you will not let all the things you did wrong let you down

It's not unkind to step out of line, you've got to be bad to be good
seasons change and people they stay the same, you've got to be bad to be good

words can confuse when they are misused by a Bank or a consumer institute
strong takes you long and you will belong to the purpose that will be your cause

21 tandem Repeats site refreshment

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700

well the news is that The Super Robertson Supper show is still going (every Wednesday from 7:30-8:30PM @ the Railway Club) and there are some other shows on the horizon (see calendar dates).

as you can probably hear (if you have your sound on or there is not some terrible computer glitch that i could not even begin to understand) we have a FLASH MUSIC PLAYER on the site... this should allow you to graze the useful information in this site and have your ears blessed with the heavenly sounds of 21 tandem Repeats... I now have a twitter account that is linked to the home page of this site and some of the other bothersome sites (in terms of keeping current) and i will make an effort to post all urgent upcoming events there... which is kind of the news when you think about it... which may in fact give this section some new life... time will tell.

looking to play in Toronto in early July... anybody have any ideas?

Oh and i still haven't released that damn live album i was barking about some time ago... i have been waffling like a machine in an eggo factory over the merits of this idea. That's the way life goes as an artist trying to create for some reason and judging worth at the same time. Not recommended activities when put together on any given moment in time.

21 Tandem repeats Live

21TR Kingpin Super Robertson has paired down the last 4 years of live recordings into 20 tracks. Expecting to lose another 8 or so Robertson has contacted Music demigod Mule Hughes to help with the pruning.

Twent One Tandem Repeats Tuesday Night Tour is ready to roll

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Ok, it's been a good summer for the fine folks at Canada Lynx Records... the 21 TR live @ the Supper Show album is moving along quite nicely, the toronto tour is set and some new recordings with Genny Trigo have hit the tape.

wait a minute... wasn't the title of this news story about the shops coming up in Toronto? Yes Yes Yes... we are always losing our focus around here.

The first show on tuesday July 28 is with my original musical mentor Mr. Dave Hind, i Know it will be a big night for me... Dave doesn't perform that often so i would look at it as a real opportunity. He wrote the song "Jupiter" that was on our CD "Never wanted to be anyone"

The second show on Tuesday August 4th is opening for Great Aunt Ida. I knew Ida when she lived in Vancouver, she was always involved in many ways in the good fabric of the music scene, and on top of that she is one KING HELL songwriter and musician and singer. Her CD's get a lot of play in our house and i have some pretty discerning children when it comes to music.

OK, it's going to be fun.

21 Tandem Repeats 4th record is under construction

Fri, 22 May 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Legendary Vancouver Drummers Mule Hughes and Shawn Killaly have come by the lynx paw studio to lay down some tracks for the upcoming 21 tandem repeats release. Tentatively titled "I don't know how that got posted on the Internet" the most obvious change will be in the Vocal department as Super Robertson fired himself from that position.
