Jan 1st 2010 - Happy New Year everybody!

I pray this year will bring you more spiritual awareness, health, and not just happiness but true inner peace that stays with you through trying times. Woe to Stagnation! Let this year be YOUR year of change. I feel like everyone i meet is put in my path to either teach me something, or learn something from me. It's a good way to live. That way you always look at people from the bigger picture, and keep your heart open for what you might recieve, and be open to what you might be able to give, although sometimes you dont even know you are giving it, and those are the best gifts indeed.
Turn up your speakers, and open your heart~
This is the future

Sept 30 th 2009 - Dear Friends, It has been an exciting and important year of music for me. A million thank-you's to all of you who have come to our shows over the summer and shown us your support. It means so much. Participating in the "Ottawa Valley's Got Talent" contest was a good learning experience. Our show at the Lions Hall in Killaloe was unforgettable. It was also a pivotal moment in our bands history, as it was the first time we've had an opening act, an all girl band "The Sonoritas". We had a new photo shoot this summer, and I wrote a new song called "Less of Me". We're still recording at HalfString Studios, and the winds of change are here again. The little ones are back to school, the geese are taking off, and the leaves are crunchy beneath my feet. Please continue to join me on this adventure as we begin a new season. I am thankful for each and every one of you, it is medicine to be able to share some of the deepest parts of me with people who are blessed by it and appreciate what it takes to put myself out there. It's not always easy to write, or record, or even perform. But without these processes, the teeth gritting and the bliss co-mingled, i would be ill with heartache. Thankyou for reading and please feel free to send me a little letter any time. I would love to hear from you. You could also join my facebook fanpage and/or group, check us out on Myspace, and see what's new on the website. ~Love Nicolette~

February 2009 - Hello loves ^_^ Spring is right around the corner and so are change and growth and opportunity. It was wonderful to be in the studio this winter and if you haven’t already discovered, I’ve put 2 more new songs online for your listening pleasure. “FIRE” and “ALL THIS WAY” were recorded at Half String Studios here in Pembroke and will be included in my next full length album. Enjoy! I’d also like to let you all know that we have 2 new band members… Nelson Shamess and Kevin Munroe are local musicians who both play bass as well as guitar. We are excited about new sounds and possibilities! I am sincerely looking forward to playing some new material at private parties and public performances this year! Thank you for reading and your continuous support. Please check out the links below and I’d love to read your feedback on my new music!! ~Peace~ *Nicolette*

January 2009 - As I hide in this contemplative hibernation that winter always seems to bring me, I want to take a minute to write you all. I have not been emotionally at my best over the past year, yet I realize that times in the desert make me long for the water I can so easily take advantage of when things are going great. And that in itself is a good thing at least. It’s much easier to give up and give in than it is to dare myself to live, and love, and be challenged by growth. We were created with purpose and none of us are here without good reason. What are YOU here for? I dare you to find out. I wanted to share my new painting with you that I’ve recently completed. It’s called REBIRTH. This new original piece is available for purchase though my website, as well as 4x6 framed prints and key chains too! Questions and comments about my art are always more than welcome! All music and art purchases help me continue recording my new music in the studio. Your support in buying my new single “FREE” a few months ago brought me back into Half String Studios here in Pembroke where I completed another single “FIRE” including another bonus track called “ALL THIS WAY”. It is being mixed this week and you can expect to get your copy in February! Thank you for your help everyone! I am currently looking for a new bass player to join our band as I plan to start doing shows again this spring. I look forward to the refreshment that being on stage always brings. I love to be up there and share with you what God has nurtured inside me musically! It’s an honorable and amazing thing. Our lives are entwined in how we affect one another through what we say and do…and also in what we DON’T say or do. I’ve learned that only in giving of ourselves do we truly feel rewarded. Be well ~ *Nicolette*

October - December 2008 - Nicolette is currently Recording more new tracks at Half String Studios

October 2008 - Good Morning Friends•.•´*.¸.•´* .•´*¸¸.•*¨`*• It’s been awhile and so I wanted to let you all know what I’m up to.

Before he left, he joined us at Half String Studio to record my new single “Free”, which includes my bonus instrumental track called “Raincoats for Robots”, and is now available for purchase for only $5. You can get your copy at Hotpress Boutique, 55 Pembroke St. West, or send me an email directly and I’ll set something up with you.

Our bass player Andrew Swan is no longer with us as he’s moved away to Belleville without much notice, and we are not equipped to play a show without a bassist. I realize this means all the texting that all of you did so supportingly was for nothing, and for that we deeply apologize, and want you to know we appreciated each and every one of your votes. We are very disappointed ourselves in what is happening, but it was a situation beyond our control. Sincere Apologies Nicolette Lagace and band~

July 8th 08 - So friends, I just got home from my first night back in the studio in almost 2 years. It was great to capture my new music … it’s liberating to hear even the first rough tracks with my arms crossed, eyes closed. *sigh* Finally. A new adventure begins. My second album. `;` My writing break was a plethora of different emotions. It was also shorter lived than I assumed it would be. It brought me some breaking points of clarity which I needed, and the songs that were born this time were a balanced mixture of my joy and my angst. I got more familiar with myself and the reality of my need to write songs as an outlet…a ‘staple’ to my spiritual survival, if you will. The band has shifted, changed, grown, and stretched. Our new group has been practicing hard and can’t wait to do the upcoming live shows with the brand new, raw material. I am so comfortable with these guys and completely confident in their talents. God has been SO good to me. All I’ve needed, His hand has provided to make this all come together again. So thanks for reading, and thanks to those of you who kept encouraging me during my hiatus. I’ll be sure to share all upcoming news and shows as they unfold. ~Still in His Grip~ Nicolette

 

April 1st-30th 08 - ALL MONTH LONG, Art Display, @ Purvis Gallery and Framing Downtown Pembroke, 86 Pembroke St west.

Mar 21st 08 - Bodog Battle of the Bands Show reviews

  • Nov 7th 2007 - Auditions Round : Nicolette Lagace kicked off the night. This cool and quirky band had such rare instruments as the flute contributing to their set. Nicolette was a terrific vocalist, so we’ll hear from this band again in the next round.
  • Jan 3rd 2008 - Impress the Judges Round: Nicolette Lagace was up next with their electric piano, flute and accordion. They were a crowd favorite and they definitely moved on in the competition.
  • Feb 9th 2008 - Regional Finals: Rocker, Nicolette Lagace, from small town Ontario, was a refreshing change. The band had great instrumentation and stunning vocals.

Mar 1st 08 - Dear Friends, It’s miserably cold outside. I miss the rain, the birds, the warm starry nights in front of the fire pit. For me, winter is often a long pause from so many luxuries for contemplation, self discovery, and growth. I wanted to let you know that I have decided to take a writing break for my next album. I have 4 new songs, and want to have at least 4 more, as well as some re mixes from my debut. I’ll also be working on my art again, which I feel has been put on the shelf for awhile. It is also an important aspect of my self-expression, and brings me a lot of joy. Hopefully I’ll be in the recording studio by this summer, and ready to start the performances again shortly after. Having the band was challenging, exhausting, and amazingly rewarding. But as much as I loved having the band, I love to follow my heart even more, and this decision feels right for me as a solo artist, to take this break. It feels best for my musical path, my family, and my inner peace. No matter how drastic or sudden it seems to others, seeing how things have been picking up, I feel I have to take a step backwards at this time in order to move forward in the direction I want to in the future. You have all been wonderfully supportive over the past year, and for that I thank you. I feel I’ve grown and learned a lot, and am more settled in what I want and where I want to go with all of this. It’s not to be taken lightly, nor is it to be inflated into something it’s not. It takes a lot of careful stepping, as we don’t always see what’s around the corner on our paths. Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers, as I try my best to be true. I am excited about what 2008 will bring my way. What songs will I write? What pictures will I paint? Oh how I love this adventure. Blessings Nicolette ><>’

Feb 12th 08 - Thanks to all who made the trip out to Montreal to support Nicolette and the entire team. There was over a dozen of you. We did our best and we kicked ass, but we did not move on to Round 4 in Toronto.
Yet we as a band see this as a milestone and not a defeat. We are now convinced and confident we are able to perform on any stage at any stage; and so now we begin to plan a full out concert for our friends and families and fans who couldn't make the long distance trips. Stand by for more info in the near future.
A big THANK YOU to Dan for all the work and support and "security". To Carrie for your support and 'Taking One For The Team" by reserving the couch and chairs whilst we were performing on stage and the gang went forward to crowd the dance floor. To Jessica for the awesome TV interview she did on her brother Alex about his musical endeavors. Thanks for attending to Charlie, Billy, Nancy, Jay & Stef, Stef's sister(sorry) Jess, Danny, Ryan and Scratch!
And another THANK YOU to all who purchased tickets in support even though they knew they wouldn't make it out. In all we sold 53 out of 100 tickets. Several bands didn't sell any and no one sold all 100, so we did fair in BODOG's eyes. Bryan
