Our Business is Rock
We are The Parkdale Hookers, an alternative indie rock group based in Toronto, Canada.
We can best be described as AntiGlam(tm). Take all the attributes you are supposed to associate with Rock ‘n Roll: glamour, being cool, being hip, being “in” – and get rid of it. What’s left is us. We’re like a trio of accountants who figured out a way to make Marshall stacks tax deductible and went with it.

The New CD: The beds are all done
Well, we managed to knock off 8 songs at Johns Green Door Studios.
‘Still have some guitar overdubs to do and I think I want to re-do a bass track, but overall, we got quite a bit done for two sessions of 8 hours. It’s nice not being in the studio for 13 hours – always felt like a bag of S*** after one of those marathon days. It has been a long time since I was able to spend two full days in a row playing – not bad work if you can get it.
As always, our host, John was surprisingly easy going considering the 8:00 am start times!
Now – time to start the NXNE stuff!
