Devin and the Dark Light

About Me

Devin and the Dark Light has been an ongoing musical project encompassing acoustic folk, spacey country, electric rock and lo-fi experimentalism since 1993. It's usually been just me, Devin, but also includes various guests and friends during live shows and recordings to flesh out the bones and make the ride less lonely.The meat of the new album 'Summer Vampires' was recorded and mixed by Mitch Hall from March to Decemeber 2006 at Batty-Steers Studio in Mono Centre. I recorded some myself at home and some was recorded by Jason Shaw in Collingwood. 'Summer Vampires' features the talent and noises of Mitch Hall (Grande Fir), J. Marr (Grande Fir), Chris Mullen (Rich Burnett, Grande Fir), Dan Scipione (The Cellars), Gordon Shawcross (The Houseplants) and Asia Shearman (on/off). 'Summer Vampires' has 13 sunny songs to shift your bad luck shadows and can be bought from me off the street, at shows, Acoustic Traditions in Orangeville, Daydream Nation in Guelph, The Music Room in Collingwood or I can mail you one for $ or a trade. Be on the look out for a cornucopia spilling great amounts of music in 2007, courtesy of The Harmony Rainbow Group. There is something in the water in them Dufferin hills. We know not what. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
