Delivering more than a half ton of fun and with more than 250 years of cumulative life experience, Children of Celebrities are proud to announce the release of their second full length album âWeâre Not Bitterâ. Touching on themes that range from hockey to impotence to murder, âthey inhabit that nebulous middle ground between country, bluegrass and whatever it is that Tom Waits does.â (Monday Magazine).
Children of Celebrities released their debut album âMiddle Age Wastelandâ in the winter of 2004/05. Wasteland featured twelve original songs and became one of Victoriaâs most highly regarded and popular albums of 2005. The band invaded the radio airwaves in Victoria on CFUV, Village 900 and CBC, CKDU in Halifax, CFBX in Kamloops, CFMH in Saint John, CJSR in Edmonton, CJSF in Vancouver, CHLY in Nanaimo among many others (as faraway as roots radio programs in Europe!) an on-air television appearance as video artist of the week on A- Channel as well as being featured on Shaw cableâs âThe Dailyâ in Victoria. Tolan McNeil, a favourite son of Victoria, was nominated for a 2005 Vancouver Island Music Award for his work as producer on the album. In the annual Monday Magazine Readerâs Poll in 2005 the Children took home two M Awards - âFavourite Local CDâ and âFavourite Groupâ. In keeping with their newfound notoriety the Children kept their momentum rolling by contributing a track â Retro Help - to Self Righteous RecordsââCavalcade of the Scarsâ compilation. Alongside acts such as David P. Smith, Carolyn Mark and Meatdraw among others, âCavalcadeâ was the 2nd most played album of 2006 at Victoriaâs campus station CFUV as well as placement on the top 50 of the Canada-wide college charts.
Often seen busking on the streets, performing at coffee shops and bars and playing at summer festivals and markets, Victoriaâs kings of enviro-cowboy lounge music have returned with their most ambitious project yet. Weâre Not Bitter is sure to appeal to musical aficionados and oddballs alike. With a collection of twelve new original songs and a couple of their favourite non-original tunes - âRain Dogsâ by Tom Waits and âSmoke, Smoke, Smoke that Cigaretteâ by Merle Travis and Tex Williams, âWeâre Not Bitterâ promises to continue where âMiddle Aged Wastelandâ left off. Theyâre not quite sure exactly where that is, but the Children are ready for the ride.
