This is very much-belated news (at least it was to us) that Maplewood Lane won the Georgia Straight's 2004 Readers Choice Music Awards for Best Dressed Band. When we told Jon Anderson about this, he said, "Well, if you'd gone to the [Anniedale] forum in the last 3 weeks you would have already known that." So this is a reminder to all you boys and girls to check out Jon's awesome Anniedale forum where you can talk about pretty much anything you want. On a crummy note, we didn't get the factor grant we were hoping for. However, to finish up on a high note, we have been very busy in the studio and are just wrapping up production at the fabulous hidden jewel, Buena Vista Audio, burried deep in the heart of Langley. Looks like we'll release this chunk of new songs as an EP, but we'll see, we'll see.

If you've noticed we don't update our news that often, it's not because we're really boring people and have nothing to say. In fact quite the opposite is true. We are all too ridiculously busy to take the time to do so. Here's a quick update. 3/5 (Joel, Rebecca and Nathan) of our band just returned from a little jaunt to T.O. to visit family. Joel is finishing mastering some solo stuff (but we're not breaking up despite any nasty rumours you're heard!!) Alana got a job teaching little kids to play various band instruments. Ryan is busy with his hordes of guitar students. Rebecca and Nathan are getting ready to move into their first townhouse and that's about all you need to (or don't need to) know. Oh, and in regards to the band we've been writing new material and have just submitted a grant application to factor requesting funding for a music video. We'll keep you posted on the results.

Maplewoodlane wishes all a merry Christmas and a fruitful New Year.
