The latest scoop on The Trews.
From Tokyo With Love
November 12, 2008
As I write this it's tomorrow in Tokyo. We're here performing at the Canadian Music Mission to Asia conference. So far this place is blowing my mind. It's like a Buddhist New York city. We literally walked the streets yesterday for twelve hours, there is so much to see it's overwhelming. The people are amazing and the food is excellent. My first impression: a busy, peaceful and beautiful place. We're here for a few more days so I'm sure I'll have more to tell in a future blog.
So we have some wicked news on a couple of fronts folks!!! First of all we've received a nomination from the Independent Music Awards south of the border. It seems our rocking little number Hold Me In Your Arms made the short list for the best hard rock song for the 8th annual independent music awards program. This is really cool considering we haven't even released our latest album in the states (it's going to be released soon) and the song was picked from thousands of submissions. So awesome!!!
We've also just got word that the video for Man of Two Minds made it to number 1 on the MuchMoreMusic countdown. Thank you MuchMoreMusic, our fans and of course our dedicated street team for making it possible.
Also thanks to all the folks who made it out to our acoustic show in Barrie, we had a blast and I hope you did too. Also want to give a shout out to Brad Ariss for winning the remix contest. Hope you like the autographed guitar.

The Trews Takeover Your Hometown
October 27, 2008
Hey Trews fans if you are near a movie theater over the next month get there early and check out a funny little commercial for Scene.ca that runs prior to the previews featuring yours truly.
Scene.ca is running a contest where the prize is a private acoustic Trews show at a theater near you. All you need to do is tell us why The Trews should come to your hometown to play at the local Cineplex.
Get all the details and enter at Scene.ca
Also check out an interview on "Uncovered", a new feature with Alan Cross (Ongoing History of New Music) on CFOX, FM 96, Power 97 and The Edge 102.1.
And finally, we just announced a last minute acoustic show in Barrie, ON. Our shows in Japan next month are acoustic so we figured we'd warm up for the big trip by playing in front of our beloved Canadian fans. Hope to see each and everyone of yas!!
