BLACK LUNG CHOIR IN Taichung @GrooveyardNov.30

About Me


Pat Reid here (reider).

He writes songs. Lots of songs. He's pretty particular about what he writes and how they should sound. He loves the process of writingand fine tuning a song till its as best as it can be.

he has played in many musical groups in Canada and more recently in Taiwan. being quite a slutty with bands but loyal to black lung inner city choir, The Soilers and once upon a time Schlumpy (an amazing funk band sensation cut short in their prime due to the usual abuse of substances). This year (2006-07) reider has been playing with other acts such as 3 legged cat, Dirty sky, catnip, and solo stuff.

After returning from a very successful Canadian tour this summer playing in the Black Lung Inner City Choir (which brought them tv and radio coverage in Toronto) he is now back in the ROC (Taiwan for those who didn't know) to play, write and record as much music as possible. This Last year (2006-07) Black lung was on national television performing 2 songs off of their 1st CD entitled "If I leave for home", played on sunny radio in Taichung and played festivals, events, and of course a lot of bars and coffee shops.

Be on the lookout for him upon his return next year to the east with his critically acclaimed band mates Nick Fothergill and Brad Whitmore who make up the super (amazing live) group Black Lung Inner City Choir.

On this site you'll hear new material by him, played by him and recorded by him.

reviews are nice. Gimme some. If you like a song...let me know. say what you really think. I am not to impressed by all of the positive feedback everyone gets on myspace. If you think something i have on there sucks let me know and i'll think about changing it or think that you were just too high that day.

cheers

Reider (cause there are too many Patricks in this town)

Nick Fothergill guitar
Brad Whitmore djembe, back up vocals

This reprise (deeper to the soul) was influenced and composed on the spot by the Black lung inner city choir with influence by the very great Regina dancers that we were fortunate enough to have that night. We needed to keep em dancing around and this is what came out. Thanks Regina. Thanks O'Hannlon's and the wicked sound man!

NEW TUNES (WRITTEN, RECORDED & PERFORMED BY PAT REID)

WAKE UP

this song is a fictional dramatic and intense tale of two lovers getting in a car crash because one was too drunk to drive. The significant other is in a coma on life support in the hospital and he is praying for her to "wake up, wake up"

OH MY

Another fictional tale but this one is more romantic and looking on the positive side to a mass armegedon end of the world senario. Nuclear bombs have hit all the cities and all that is left is you and your baby to clean up and make a new life with each other.

FIRST TIMES

This song puts into perspective all of those happy moments and not so happy moments when they first happened and what they mean to all of us.

JAIL BAIT

This is a slightly humorous song about under aged girls who are persistent in trying to get with older guys (or even sometimes old men).

enjoy!
