Interview + 2 events

Short radio interview for Valacchia, Feb 1st at 17:35 central, you'll be able to hear it live there.

Here's the poster for Burlesque Macabre, the release party for Valacchia. Tease, fake blood and industrial music, what's not to like? More than ten performers, and I'll do a little something, so spread it pandemic!



Feb 3rd, Anarchist Cabaret for the AWB. I'll be hosting the night and Anarchistes Anonymes will be reading a scene from our next play, Anar Écoute.

Mark your calendars!



The date for the Valacchia launch party is set for Friday March 9th at the Katacombes in Montreal. I'm putting together a "Burlesque Macabre" concept, with the dark and delightful Sin Sisters from Ottawa and industrial rock duo Silent and Cold. Promo material to come. Batshit fucking insane!

Also, next Anarchist Cabaret set for Feb 3rd. The theme: LOVE! And as a special treat, we'll be reading a sketch scene from the new play for the Anarchist Theatre Festival. Be there and do something!

Lastly, I've put a link for my Facehook page. It's disgusting famewhore bullshit, and you better fucking like it. And if you think I didn't know, please read this and weep.

EP from the Dead



After some years of total obscurity, 5 of the 13 Bloody Band tracks have been released under the former project name, Anubis Ex Mortis, as a standing stone to the glory of horror punk!

5 Songs to Die For is the name of the EP, and it's ready to download, distribute, use and abuse, for your listening pleasure.

Download the whole thing here (32 mb). Do I need to point out it's free?

As a side note, you can follow my brother Bloody Benedict on his new project, Silent and Cold, which kicks fucken arse!

The Anarchistes Anonymous presentation was a fucken blast, thanks to the AAs, the festival and especially everyone who showed up!

In other news, a new short piece will be presented in July as part of a unique theatre performance as part of the 12th Festival International Montreal en Arts. There will be some ten performers, it will be interactive, in English and French, and there will be dancing. What more do you want? Details to come...

For the rest of the summer, Raven will be finishing a sequel to Valacchia and beginning book 2 of the Malice Cycle in August. Keep track on the Dev Diary!

04.03.2011

And the plot thickens!

  • It's official, Guy Saint-Jean Éditeur have agreed to publish Valacchia, a french erotica novel set in Transylvania. This was a secret project so far, but now it's out. Read the special devdiary entry for more.

  • New play for the Anarchist Theatre Festival of Montreal! A comedy sketch intitled "Anarchistes Anonymes" (anarchists anonymous) will be played on may 18th for the 6th edition of the Festival. We've put a new troupe together, with Sofian, Marco, Pat, Vicky, Catherine, yours truly and Yannie. It's a brilliant team and I hope my script can do them justice. Also, it's a bit of a come back for me and Yannie, since we'd worked together on the Aube Noire play (my first!) some six years back. It'll be pure chaos. Thanks for the Festival producers to trust me a fourth time.

  • Subversion - the anarchist fiction anthology set by the Anarchist Writers Bloc, will be released on May 5th in Montreal and May 7th in Quebec. It's 120 pages of uncensored anarch ramblings, the best and brightest with submissions across the board, and with texts in French and English, it swings both ways, just like me. Bunkertor Null is my contribution, and hopefully the most immature piece. Blamo.

  • The first ever Anti-civilisation Week will be held in May and I will participate every way I can. More info when we have a proper schedule.

  • On the long-term, writing has started for the 2nd book in the Malice Cycle. The first reviews for book 1 are in, look here.

  • Finally, new promo picture from Kayleigh Graham.



  • Onward!
