Perhaps it’s fitting that the only man who appears on Miss Quincy & The Showdown’s new record is playing the organ. Here are a few photos of the man in question, Tom Heuckendorff, tickling the B3 at Afterlife Studios in Vancouver.

I spent yesterday afternoon lounging on the control booth couch at Neighbourhood Studios while producer Matt Rogers, Miss Quincy, and her pipes of steel laid down an album’s worth of vocal tracks.


Listening faces.

Meet Rocco. He is House of Mercy Radio’s resident feline and in cat years is older than most of the music played on the show.

Here are a few glamtacular backstage black & whites of Miss Quincy & The Showdown from jolly ol’ England:
Late night story-time with Miss Quincy at a motorway Travelodge.
Pre-show nap at the Duck & Drake band-house in Leeds.
Not black & white, but nevertheless a morning songwriting session at a motorway Travelodge.
Learning The Band‘s songs like good little Canadians.

I’m still recovering from Wednesday’s boy-meets-girl rock n’ roll show at The Rockwater in Golden, BC — Miss Quincy & The Showdown and Willhorse, a band of southern rockers so shaggy-headedly hot that I watched two drunk girls get in a late night cat-fight over them.
