Hi everyone,

We’ll be invading St. Catherines for the first time on Saturday July 31st at The City Lights Bar (67 St. Paul St.). Opening the night will be local madman Camden Blues. Best thing of all, NO COVER! If you live in the Niagra region (or feel like a bit of a road trip!) please stop on by, it should be a good time!

The day after we will be doing a day long session at the Gas Station Recording Studio on Toronto Island. What will become of this, we don’t know as of yet, but you’ll probably get to hear it when it’s done!

Hey everyone. After a long time with no update I am pleased to add a show to our schedule! We will be playing at The Emmet Ray on Saturday May 8th from 7 to 10. The Emmet Ray is a beautiful new venue looking to cater to quality jazz music, so please come out and support us and this new place. More shows should be posted in the near future, so please keep looking back for more updates. Cheers! – Ken

Greetings! We’d like to thank everyone who has come out to the shows in the past two months. Both our gigs at The Tranzac and The Central have been a lot of fun; it was great to make new friends and play some music for all of you. We’d also like to acknowledge Paul Metcalfe for filling in for Karen at the Central gig, he did a stellar job and was a lot of fun to play with.

We have one gig scheduled so far in the new year, at the Tranzac on February 23rd, but there will be more. We will also have a few new demo recordings that we cut recently up on our myspace page in a few days. We wish you a happy holiday and new year and look forward to playing for you all in 2010. Cheers! – Half Beat Mishap

Hey Everyone,

We’ll be returning to The Central on December the 14th with Barbarella and Lowell Whitty. It will be a great way to party with all your friends before the Christmas madness erupts. After this we will be plotting a way to make 2010 the year of Half Beat Mishap with more out of town shows and hopefully a full length recording. But until then make sure to come out and support local talent and this wonderful venue!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show at the Central on the 20th. It was wonderful to see such a large and receptive crowd. We’d also like to that Nick Teehan And The Skin Graft Orchestra and The Heavy Set Quartet for joining us and playing killer sets. If you would like to hear some tunes from the night go to our Myspace Page and check out “The Blue Night Bus” and “P.P.O.S.” Our next show will be at the Tranzac in November and we hope to see you there. Cheers!

Once Ken gets a good image editing program the posters will get better, or at least we hope so.
