It’s been a long time since the last Richard Underhill email, so hi to everyone old and new, hope you’ve been keeping well! Here’s some ‘exciting’ Shuffle Demons news!

To celebrate 25 years of audaciousness, the Shuffle Demons and are embarking on a 2 month cross Canada tour (dates below or at http://www.shuffledemons.com).

To celebrate this momentous event we’re releasing ‘Get on the Bus,’ the long awaited Shuffle Demons DVD featuring all 6 videos, live performances from China, India, Stonehenge and Europe plus amazing photo galleries and interviews with the band.

The DVD will also include footage from our 2004 Guinness World Record breaking event with 900 saxophones. To celebrate this launch and to also regain the record (which was unofficially broken by a Taiwanese group last year) we are Calling all Sax Players to Nathan Phillips Square on Canada Day, July 1 at 4:30pm to help us retake the record! We’ll be playing a slightly demonized version of O Canada and with your help, will break the record with at least 919 saxophones! What the hey, let’s go for a cool 1000!

You can register online for this event at http://www.torontojazz.com/Pages/Toronto_Downtown_Jazz_Festival_pgM241.asp

On site registration starts at 2pm at Nathan Phillips Square, we’ll rehearse a bit at 3:30 and then attempt to break the record at 4:30 pm. Then as an added bonus, the Shuffle Demons will play a set of all your faves at 5pm!

The Shuffle Demon line up this year is Rich Underhill, Perry White and Kelly Jefferson on saxes, George Koller on bass and Stich Wynston on drums.

Be sure to come out and bring your horn and help us break the record again. And if you were there last time, pick up a copy of ‘Get on the Bus’ to see our last date with destiny!
