The Rain and the Sidewalk (formerly known as Introvert) is mostly Trevor Thompson, a distant, irritating, tortured soul in Vancouver, B.C., who creates moody, semi-electronic, postpunk art-pop, with industrial smatterings.
Shannon Hallett (Betty Kracker) performs live with Trevor, as does Wayde Compton. They appear on WEAKNESS, an ambitious 28-song double CD, realeased in the latter part of 2009. The album has charted on many college stations, including CiTR, CHUO, and CKXU.
The CD can be bought in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa shops and can be ordered directly in the EU via www.ciel-rouge.fr and mclean records in the rest of the world.
The first CD INANIMATE was inflicted on innocent bystanders in 2006. For the sake of humanity, his friends Wayde and Dave somehow managed to convince Desert Rose to supply most of the vocals. The CD charted on college radio stations across the country. A limited remix CD, REDUNDANT, was released in 2008.
