Do you plan on releasing a full length album anytime soon?
Absolutely. Its a collection of our favorite Raffi covers from over the years. Just kidding. But seriously, full length is in the works. Fall 2008, for real.
How did The Canon Logic become a band?
Tim [Kiely, vocals, guitar] and Josh [Greenfield, guitar, vocals] were college room-mates at the University of Delaware. They used to just jam on a stockpile of songs they had written together in their dorm room, until they realized they could be playing the songs in venues instead. So they enlisted Mark [Alu, guitar, keys, vocals] via a classified ad, who brought along his childhood friend Sean [Enright, bass, keys, vocals]. After burning through a couple of drummers, they recruited me (Mike) via Craigslist. We relocated to Brooklyn about a year later and the rest is history.
How did you come up with the name Canon Logic?
Ah, the age old question. If you listen closely to Tim's lyrics, you'll get a very strong sense of story-telling; in fact, many songs are a smaller part of a much larger body of work. The word canon has a pretty broad scope of use. In its simplest form, “The Canon Logic” is a tribute to great writing, be it literary or musical. We'd like to believe it has a nice ring to it as well.
What are you currently doing? Are you touring or planning to tour?
Right now we're in the pre-production phases of our first full-length album. We're finishing up the writing and arranging aspects before burying ourselves in a Brooklyn studio, later on in the Summer. To keep us on our toes on the off-nights, we've set-up an August residency at Pianos in the Lower East Side. We also have a show at the Mercury Lounge approaching (Friday August 1st). Once the album is done, we'll play the New York City scene until saturation and then embark on some sort of regional or national tour.
