This site features songs I wrote and recorded over the last several years with my wife Cathy and various other musical collaborators and friends. The early stuff was done at B-Scene Studios in Edmonton (Thanks Todd!) and the more recent stuff done at home with a Zoom digital recorder. The additional players on these recordings include Bruce Brososky on guitar and bass, Steve Lemiski on drums and percussion, and Graham Calder and Laurent Arams on guitar. Bruce, Steve, Laurent and I perform as Urban Bunny, and sometimes as Kitty and the Cool Cats (basically a classic rock cover band), with Cathy fronting. Bruce and Cathy each have their own Soundclick sites as well, which you can check out from the links below in my "Fans" section. (kittyxule, Bruce Brososky).

Story behind the song
Parody of a 60's teenage love song...one of the earliest of my songs here, written somewhere around 1982. Back up vocals by the lovely Luncheonettes.
