It has been a few weeks since you have heard from us here at I'm Trying, but don't let that give you the impression that we have not been busy. 

First of all, A Waste Odyssey. The boys have a couple big weeks coming up, starting tomorrow with:
The guys will be on at 7pm, they will be playing some acoustic songs, answering some questions, and revealing some tracks from their new CD "We Are Mourning People." Make sure you turn your radios to 92.9 at 7pm and listen. 

and the following week, they will be heading out on their first western tour, playing a few select dates across the prairies, playing dates in Brandon, Regina, Saskatoon, Medicine Hat, and Calgary's Lilac Festival!

Stay in touch for updates on the go from the boys as they make their way across our fair country.

A WASTE ODYSSEY | PRE-ORDER

Have we got a deal for you!

As some of you may know. A Waste Odyssey's new album "We Are Mourning People" is due out in late May. What you might not know, is that they are going on tour at the end of May also. Due to scheduling conflicts, they will not be playing their CD release show until AFTER the tour. So if you live in Winnipeg or the surrounding area you will have to wait. Unless, of course, you take advantage of our pre-order package. 

 For the next two weeks, you have a chance to pre-order a special
 "We Are Mourning People" Package

This includes: 

A Copy of  "We Are Mourning People". But you will receive it May 20th. Almost a month before anyone else in Winnipeg has a chance to get their hands on it. 

If you pre-order. You will also get the first A Waste Odyssey shirts ever printed. 
There wont be that many of these printed so take advantage of the offer. 
The shirts are in the process of being printed now, but will look like this. 

Get both the t-shirt and the album for the price of $18.00.
You will be one of the first people to listen to the new album, you will be the first to wear the shirt, and you can do all of this while paying less than you would if you wait. Makes sense to us. 

To pay either use our paypal link below...
(If using this method, send a subsequent email to imtryingrecords (at) gmail (dot) com, instructing us whether you want the product shipped or delivered (if in the Winnipeg area).

...Or if you have the privilege of knowing us personally, make an arrangement and we will meet you somewhere to make the exchange. Get on this everyone, this offer wont last long. Tell your friends. 

....Or, if you dont know us, you dont want to know paypal, you can send cash or a money order or a cheque (written to Corey, Ben, or Kevin) and stick it in an envelope and send it to.

WELCOME: THREE IMAGINARY BOYS

   Since we have started this, we have been asked about taking on more bands. And we have put some thought into who would fit our - fairly loose - criteria. And despite the numerous interested parties, we have decided to take on just one for the time being. And that is...


THREE IMAGINARY BOYS

    Sloop John B, came to  us in an odd way. By chance, stemming from his misfortunes (its a great story, ask us how he met us). Anyway, Sloop/David comes to us from Victoria, BC. And while we cant be sure how long he will be with us here in Winnipeg, we look forward to working with him as much as we can while he is here.
    Three Imaginary Boys released the debut EP "Rumspringa" at our I'm Trying debut show, and he already has plans for a new full length; a tape of course. Look out for lots of updates in the coming weeks. Updates such as the details for Sloopstock, the fundraiser to help our dear friend pay his rent and keep him and his rat off our cold city streets.
