Moist on Amherst Island 1993
Since we are about to finally start playing shows again, we are going to be posting some clips from the home video that our dear friend, and "Silver" producer, Kevin Hamilton, made on our very first tour in 1993. This clip shows us showing up at a barn on Amherst Island, preparing to practice.... we mostly just goofed off. The milk house attached to the barn is now home of Amherst Island Radio 101.3 FM.

Echoing another Kevin post from Instagram. "Had every intention of moving on to new territory, but just got sucked in to watching Francis do what he does - drumming for a light in the dark Enjoy"

Kevin's third posting about We Are from the Moist Instagram page... At the time we wrote this, in late 2019, we had no idea we’d be in the grip of a global pandemic – let alone for as long as we have been. So yeah, we were in what I’d call an extremely optimistic mood – a new album on the horizon, the Saints & Sinners Tour all locked in for Summer 2021… I think what we conceived, imagined, and worked toward was a track that spoke to the frustrations and uncertainties of modern life, but still managed to be affirming, inspirational, even celebratory. Ultimately, instead what we got is a track that, we feel, captures how many people have felt about the brutal hits the pandemic has laid on all of us over the past almost two years. Maybe sometimes the song knows where we’re headed even if we don’t. So, yeah, sometimes crazy works.

Another post from Kevin on the Moist Instagram account.... More from the ‘We Are’ process… Over time, we revisited pretty much everything – the feel, arrangement and form, the guitar and keyboard parts, the vocal melodies… The only thing we didn’t try to change every time we revisited it were the gang vocals in the chorus – those were a lock from the moment we wrote the song. In the end, doing all that, we think, made the song stronger. So, although we ended up in a good place, we had a hard time seeing it that way because it was fundamentally different from the place we thought we end up. All in all, not a bad lesson for us to learn and keep in mind going forward. Put bluntly, some songs you just got to keep going after until, out of nowhere, there’s this aha moment where it all falls into place. Others, you just have to stop picking at and let them become what they’re meant to be. In the end, what turned our feelings about Dying For a Light in the Dark around and made it the perfect track to be the last word on the record – lyrically and sonically – was time and perspective.

Hi everyone... we are echoing the posts Kevin is doing on the Moist instagram account here, a couple days behind. For more, stay tuned for a couple day or check out our insta page! Welcome to ‘We Are’ week… Check in this week for some videos from @revolutionrecording - a few snippets of making Dying For A Light In The Dark (We Are) - a title clearly inspired by Yoda-speak… Dying for a Light in the Dark (We Are) This is a track that actually fell out of favour for a while – not so much a case of chasing the demo as feeling like it just seemed determined to be its own thing – and that thing was just different enough from what we heard in our heads when we wrote it, we started second guessing the song overall. In this video, we’re talking tempo… More in a day or so…
