Vancouver Sun Review
A little late notice, but yesterday we were reviewed in the Sun by Amy O’Brian. Just thought I’d put up one of the prettier excerpts. “Their talent and ambition shine brightly through the music. This is a rare, bold foray into melodic experimentation.”
Thank you, Amy.
Two New Reviews
Visit our journal section to read two new glowing reviews of our album. One comes from a freelance writer for web based music reviews and the other from one of the biggest Blues and Roots websites from Belgium & The Netherlands - www.rootstime.be. They also have a radio station called Rootsradio that we are currently receiving airtime on.
Hooray!
In the wake of a couple of mediocre to down right nasty reviews I thought I’d post this one right up on the homepage for the world to see.
Stirring in funk with some great jazz moves and more than a little R&B/soul, singer/writer/guitarist David Ward, aided by the rock solid and utterly sympathetic Greg Bevis on drums and percussion and Sam Shoicett on bass, has come up with a delicious musical gumbo here. Seemingly unencumbered by the usual conventions, there’s a surprise around every corner, some odd and appealing tempo change or modulation or vocal swoop that’ll keep the headphones on. Think Zappa meets James Brown meets Tom Waits meets Stan Getz meets Marvin Gaye - there are a lot of flavours to the Unstruck Note. One of my favourites in a long time. — John P. McLaughlin of The Province

We’ve solved the music player problem
If the Tunes player has been playing the songs in slow motion, then you need to update your flash! You can do that here www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html it only takes a second, and we’d prefer it if you didn’t listen to our music like David is singing under water.
Track of the Day on CBC radio 3
“Enough Said” is featured on CBC radio 3 as the track of the day for Tuesday Jan. 22 in the blog section. Check it out. thousands of Canadians all across the world download this as a podcast everyday!www.cbcradio3.com
Music Player
We’d like to apologize for the current state of the music player. It seems to be playing the tracks at a slower pace and re-starting the song every time you click a button. It is undergoing some changes, but in the meantime I’d like to let you know that while I do consider myself a man my voice isn’t quite that ruggedly low. Thanks for your patience. Check out www.myspace.com/loosechangetrio to hear what they actually sound like.

New record
December 9th, 2007 Unstruck Note, produced by Adam Fulton (Terry Clark, Paul McCartney) and recorded at Mushroom Studios, is an amalgamation of lead singer/songwriter David Ward’s history as an actor and classically trained vocalist, and drummer Greg Bevis’ varied past in Jazz and funk outfits. Reverently influenced by jazz, theatre and spoken word artists (Tom Waits, Shane Koyczan) and songwriters, vocalists and experimentalists (Jeff Buckley, Peter Gabriel, Nina Simone), Unstruck Note exposes Ward’s soaring vocal capabilities and theatrical experimentation, along with the drive of their eight piece band that manifests energy, playfulness and creativity.
