Two years and much hard labour after their performance at the Media
Club, the official return of the Au4 live performance persona was
celebrated with great success at their New Music West
performance at the Plaza Club at the end of April! A great turnout
combined with incredible stage lighting (courtesy of Dreamweaver
Productions) and impressive visuals by the En4 crew, made
for a monumental comeback show. To view photos from that night, visit
the "...shows..."
section of the Official Au4 site and to read a spectator's review
of their performance, please visit "Crows
to Burnaby" (and scroll down to Mon, May 1, 2006: 'Saturday
night').
Special thanks go out to everyone who has been showing their support
by purchasing Au4 merchandise - particularly at their performance
last month, as the popular items at the merch' table were the individually
crafted Au4 leather cuffs, belts and the new
Au4 T-shirts that were hot off the press that day. Be sure
to stop in at
The Au4 Store to get a peak at those designs.
A date has finally been set for the Au4 "On: Audio"
CD Release Party at Sonar: Thursday, June 29th, 2006
at 9:00pm at Sonar, 66 Water Street
(Gastown) in Vancouver, BC. More details about the show will come
as we get closer to the date.
The Crazy8s Film Festival (www.crazy8s.cc) is Canada's
leading short film event based out of Vancouver, BC that funds eight
up-and-coming directors with $800 and 30-minute tape stock to create
a film in eight days. To celebrate the eighth anniversary of Crazy8s,
there will be video podcasting coverage throughout the festival including
highlights, interviews and behind the scenes. To view the podcast

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006). !Earshot is published by the National Campus
and Community Radio Association that lists which radio stations are

for playing "On: Audio"!
