OSHAWA -- A hometown band, The Champion Heartache, is releasing its new CD Aug. 25 at The Hare and The Hound.
The alt-rock/country collective is made up of Matt Holtby, Brendan Lawless, Sean MacLean, Derek Gibberson, Trish Robb and Craig Toutant. Their self-titled CD was nearly two years in the making, with support from musicians and friends close to them. It was recorded with help from Blind Billy Blasko, core member of another Oshawa band, The Stables. Artist Geordie Lishman, a friend of band members and son of famous artist Bill Lishman, sculpted the iron rose that graces the CD's cover.
Meanwhile, band members are working on their own solo works, including MacLean and Robb. Meanwhile, the band is planning another album for the fall.
The current CD has been getting play on 102.1 The Edge and Oshawa's 94.9, The Rock, while the band has played the Horseshoe and NXNE.
The Hare and The Hound is located at 15 Simcoe St. N. in the downtown.
