Recordings

These United States (2009)
These United States finds Kris Demeanor and his Crack Band at their liveliest, darkest, wildest, folk rocking best. Recorded in the Grand Theatre rehearsal studio, and produced by the insanely talented Ford Pier, the recording includes a number of songs that have been live staples for a few years such as 'Soul Food' and 'Double Down', some pieces written for theatre shows that have become fully flushed out with the band ('Worms', 'Crystal'), as well as the wonderful Chantal Vitalis song 'I Hate Love'.

The Guilt and the Shame: Tales of the Canadian West (2007)
Recorded on my Yamaha MD8 in Montreal with the patio door open. My 'spoken word' CD, but full of sung choruses, beats and keyboard sounds from my little casio PK1, and character roles by a number of Canadian actors/musicians, and my Dad. Featuring 'Perfect Buzz', 'I Have Seen the Future', 'Bring Our Boys Home' and 'The Pelican Lake Conversion'.
