Thanks to all our fans who submitted videos for our latest music video for Maria! We love you all so much!

We’re making a video for our song ‘Maria’ and we want all our female fans in it! Just record some video of you singing along to Maria and then upload it to us at scatterheart.ca/upload or post it to youtube as a video response or BOTH!!! We want to see all your beautiful faces.

We’re out on the road travelling from town to town having a great time, but there’s a curious trend starting to take hold that we’re not enjoying and that’s the weather in Calgary. How unpredictable can it really get? And why does it have to snow everytime we come by?

Apparently in mid april you Calgarians were enjoying some nice 20+ sunny days, spring had sprung and summer was coming early. Until we showed up that is. Last Wednesday we had a great little show in Leduc but we were to play BT Calgary the next morning at 7am so we had ourselves an overnight drive after the show that took much longer than necessary. 5 hours later (instead of the 2.5 it should’ve taken) we find ourselves arriving in a foot of snow by the skin of our teeth having survived a near blizzard for most of the drive down the #2. Of course the next day as we leave Calgary the sun is out and the snow starts melting.

3 days later we are back to Calgary for a day of rest between shows and sure enough after a 3 hour drive in the hot sunshine we are once again confronted with a big hail storm within minutes of arriving. And the last time we toured through town was early last October with more of the same. This time we were presented with 2 feet of snow and -16 C. We all had to go out and buy some extra wool socks and toques to keep warm, but of course leaving Calgary on our way to Regina we could see the snow melting in minutes.

From what people say this is to be expected in Calgary and that the only month of the year the city has yet to have snow is in July. Yep, even August has had snow. So expect us to be back on the road and travelling through Calgary this July, we’ll see which trend wins out, our luck of getting snow in Calgary or Calgary’s ability to be snowed upon in every month of the year. See ya in July!

I wasn’t a huge Iron Maiden fan. I love heavy metal, but for whatever reason I never really got into Maiden. Likely I was too obsessed by Van Halen, or should I say, Edward Van Halen to bother checking out Maiden. I kind of went from Van Halen right to Slayer, Metallica, Megadeath, and Anthrax. It wasn’t until later in life that I actually took the time to be destroyed by the power of IRON MAIDEN!! Now, I too am a believer.

I recently bought the Flight 666 DVD by Sam Dunn. Sam Dunn is a metal fan (from Vancouver Island!) and he makes great documentaries on the impact of metal around the world. They’re smart, entertaining, and done from a true metal fan’s perspective which makes them ring true. Check out his first two films, Metal – A Headbangers Journey and Global Metal. Sam is obviously a huge Iron Maiden fan and his latest film does not disappoint.

Flight 666 documents Iron Maiden’s world tour and shows the band in fine form. They rock harder than ever and they have kept their integrity intact. Iron Maiden still feels relevant and vital, it feels like they mean it when they scream it. They’ve shunned the reality show ghetto that Gene Simmons, Flavor Flav (and I love Public Enemy), and Ozzy have all fallen prey to. In short they still have their balls!

If you’re a metal fan or not you’ll love this film. It’s got passion and you’ll feel it when you see audiences from all over the world completely lose their mindbrains. Pure and honest joy found in a metal crowd, what a concept!

So, here’s a question… How can a dude in a love rock band like Scatterheart be a metal fan?

Life is all about balance baby!
