new stuff!!

so, today i got my ears pierced. but that's not why i'm writing.
i'm going to pick up the new discs from the plant on monday (i hope), and i've been working on the booklet for the new solo album tonight (the other booklets are much smaller and are done).
i've been drumming for a band in montreal called sissyfist . (the name is a hidden link....) (pretty sneaky eh? i do that sometimes...)
also southern souls finished the video and i really like it. it's for a song called 'in front of the t.v. you can watch it by clicking on this word . the song also appears on a compilation called 'can i punk mail my heart' that i'm pretty sure you can get a copy of here .
i'm planning on starting to book a tour for september. i'd like to go out east and back. if you've got a house, or know of a house/not a bar, that's a fun place to play for a queer tranny, i'd love to hear about it and maybe we can set something up.
so things are coming. hopefully the video and the sissyfist recordings whet your appetite for more...

i have not forgotten you, blog...

for anyone that's curious...
it's been ages since i wrote anything on this blog. it seems weird to me to update a website that is about me when not much has been going on in regards to the art that i make. more personally, i just moved to montreal in december. i moved. that was a big thing... but some small updates...
there are three albums reeeeealllly close to being done or that are done and just need to be pressed:
1. kit wilson-yang and germaine liu
2. chris yang and sarah ayton - little brown
3. the very first kit wilson-yang solo album... yup.

southern souls just filmed some songs today, so some videos will be coming soon and drawn and quarterly has copies of 'the rain' and 'the story of the mountain and the cloud'
more things soon, and hopefully more zines in more places.


lots of love

kit

eureka! the album!

finally it's here!
i haven't figured out how to make it so y'all can download it, but you can listen to it here. i'm excited. this is the band i was in with tegan (violin) and mike (drums). we only played a few shows, but they were memorable. if anyone that's really saavy with computers can tell me a good way to make it so people can download this please contact me kit.magnolia@gmail.com . cheers. the songs are short, with quick changes and odd time signatures. some of them are real pretty. i hope you enjoy it...

the rain

a new story book. this one is about a time when all the world was rain. and all the world turned grey. and all the sounds i made were the rain because the only sound i heard was the rain. and the miraculous turn of events that lead to....
