Canada's New Pornographers are so damn talented. Guitarist Todd Fancey is back to test the side project waters with Fancey, his musical brainchild. According to Fancey's label, What Are Records, the album was "recorded during breaks from touring with The New Pornographers and is a polished display of studio wizardry and supercharged indie pop at its finest."
Sounds great guys. What's it called?
Schmancey.
Uh huh. So Fancey is releasing an album called Schmancey?
Oh boy. There better be some major chords in this.

this is the press release from the label about halloween FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEOctober 27th, 2007"Todd Fancey's Terrifying Halloween Interweb Tour" - this Wednesday Oct 31, 2007 on me.dium.comTurns out New Pornographer and solo artist Todd Fancey's a huge fan of Halloween, so we're making it a special day. First off, we're giving away one of our favorite songs from his new album "Schmancey," the appropriately themed "Witches Night," all week long right herehttp://www.whatarerecords.com/fancey/witchesnightIt's the story of a young male haunted by an evil ex-girlfriend, so we're guessing a few of you out there can more than relate.Then, Todd's going to host the first ever "Terrifying Halloween Interweb Tour." More than your typical on-line chat session, thanks to me.dium.com, everyone who participates can simultaneously check out the websites and youtube clips that Todd frequents. In other words, you're gonna get a guided tour through Todd's world. Scary? Terrifying? Creepy? Only in the best, most fun way possible.The "Terrifying Tour" is a unique chance to get to know more about Todd's work in the studio and on the road with the New Pornographers, and to check out his thoughts on his dazzling new solo record "Schmancey."We'll also travel far outside the indie pop world. You see, Todd's a not-so-closeted metalhead. So, there's also gonna be a "Zeppelin Vs. Sabbath" debate, we'll touch on Ace Frehley's scarily funny appearance on the Tom Snyder show with the rest of his Kiss bandmates in '79, and discuss Angel Witch, Witchfinder General and Venom.Of course, you're free to bring your own topics and questions to the party. All treats, no tricks. I think I'm out of cliches. Hope to see you there. Visit http://rockme.dium.com at 4 PM EST on the 31st to participate. |
On Wednesday at 4pm EST, Todd Fancey will be participating in RockMe. Sessions, an online music event which allows musicians to connect with fans. During the session, Todd will be surfing the web with fans and directing them to a site where fans can download his new song from Schmancey, called "Witches Night," for free.
