Cornwall - December 20, 2011 - Sean Harley is a busy man. As front man for the indie rock group Trench Town Oddities, he is constantly working the Ontario and New York State music scene to book gigs - all the while holding down a full-time job at a Cornwall engineering company.
Mr. Harley and his band-mates have just finished putting together their latest CD project entitled Live. Love. Laugh.
"Fans have been after us for quite some time for a new disc," said Mr. Harley. "The CD features a couple of new songs as well as some re-workings of songs previously released only as an EP. On a side note, the new disc is an Enhanced CD with tons of other bonus material such as videos, photos, demos versions of songs, live tracks and covers."
The band took a break from touring North Eastern United States and Ontario/Quebec to complete the CD. It was recorded in Cornwall at Dreambuilder Studios with producer Roy Nichol, and includes guest vocals from Wendy Hargreaves and Shelley Harley Green.
"Our sound is very easy-going and the new CD reflects some of the energy from our live shows," says Mr. Harley. "I like to say that we can be best described as Jack Johnson hanging out with Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes at Dallas Green's (City & Colour) house."
The Trench Town Oddities consist of Sean Harley (Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar), Steve R. (Backing Vocals, Lead Acoustic Guitar), Nick Kalil (Bass Guitar), Todd Harrington (Drums) and Randy Lalonde (Djembe, Bongos, Percussion).
The new CD is available from the band, can be ordered online via CDBaby.com and downloaded from iTunes. You can follow the band online at www.trenchtownoddities.com, Facebook or on Twitter @TrenchTownOdds
The band next plays at Cornwall nightspot Rangatangs on New Year's Eve.
About Trench Town Oddities
Playing an eclectic blend of pop, funk, rock, blues and reggae - often called Caribbean pop or rock reggae - listening to the Trench Town Oddities conjures up images of summer fun, beaches and tropical cocktails!
Never one to remain idle, front man Sean Harley - a staple on the Canadian indie music scene - decided to start the Trench Town Oddities as way to get together with some musical buddies and have fun playing music without the pressures associated with trying to be the next big thing. Guitarist Steve R. was first on-board after the duo bumped into each other at a local music store.
Having known Steve for a number of years but never having a chance to play together, Sean jumped at the opportunity to recruit such an exceptional guitarist. Next came Randy who previously played with Sean in a band called the Dub Dogz. Bringing up the rear was Nick, who many not have been the first bassist for the Oddities but most definitely will be the last.
