The Skopitones

Wednesday, July 2, 2008 at 1:23 am

This blog has been dead lately… But a lot is actually happening in my life!

I don’t think I mentionned it in here, but I’m part of a ska band, as a trumpet player, since september-october 2007.

Until recently, we didn’t have a name and had nothing to show for. But that has changed!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to The Skopitones !

Seven musicians, a rhytm section, 3 brass players (sax, trumpet, trombone) playing traditionnal Jamaican Ska.

I could try to describe with words what Jamaican Ska sounds like, but it’s much easier to make you listen to it.

We recorded a small 2 part demo in our Limoilou studios, entirely available through our myspace page (myspace.com/skopitones). Go listen to it!

Listen to The Skopitones on MySpace.

(By the way, myspace is a pain… for layout!)

To all the producers, bar owners, festival organisers: We’re ready to play!
To contact us, send an e-mail to me: brem (AT) martinbreton.com.

bremska!

Morning Routine

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at 11:22 am

Every morning is the same thing.

A few minutes before the alarm clock goes off, my dog snuggles next to me and breathes into my face his distress facing the fact I’m still in bed. I stay impassible, I’m the head of the pack after all.

The alarm clock goes off. I turn it off and head for the bathroom where I have a shower.

When I come back in the bedroom, I realise that my dog is cuddling next to my wife and sleeps in my spot.

Oh Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home

Oh Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home
Come on home

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone’s taken my place

Oh Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home
Come on home

Jubilation, she loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I’m laughing,
Jubilation, she loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I’m laughing
