B: Umm honestly, touring with The Cult in 1999 was great, but touring with them in 1996 was greater, because it was more of a big deal for me back then. This is my twentieth year on tour and I guess you could say I've been doing this a long time - since before I was event old enough to be playing in the bars. We've toured with everyone, Kid Rock, even an artist from Europe named Joachim Witt, who is very gothic and almost like the Peter Gabriel of Germany. They were all very interesting. I can't complain and I'm a big music fan - of all genres of music. There has never been a tour that I didn't like or a band that I didn't like, and I have had lots of dreams about working with certain people or playing shows with certain people.

S: Who would be your dream artist to work with right now?

B: There's a guy out of Istanbul named 'Tarkan,' he's a big pop start there in Turkey. I think that would be phenomenal to work with him. There is an artist out of Europe that is known as Hymm and I think that that would be a good tour for me. There is an artist who is very big in worldwide for bhangra who lives right in Surrey BC where I live named Jazzy B; I'd like to play a show with him. And of course all the usual suspects, you know, like all the Canadian rock acts. But its very different as a female the perception of being able to get on big rock tours. I think that is very gender specific - and I get it. I get it that that is the industry and it doesn't work well with that type of audience and I'm smart enough to understand how it goes but at the same time I think that it would be a lot of fun.

S: So has your team made contact or kept in touch with those bands and artists you just mentioned?

B: Oh of course yes!

S: Could we expect something to happen with them in the future?

B: From your mouth to God's ears, I hope so. That would be great.

S: What's a typical day at the studio for you while you were recording your last album 'The Promise.'

B: I usually don't, even though I am notoriously under-slept when I am at home and I usually get up every morning at 2 30 or 3 30 because that's just the way my body works.  I don't like rolling into the studio until about 11, which is when my producer, Jason Darr, would get there. And it all depends from there how I'm feeling from day to day. Last year was a weird process because I was doing chemotherapy between all my studio stuff. Physiologically it was kind of a hindrance.

S: do we see any of that on your new album?

B: I hope not. I don't think so. Jason would take great lengths to cover that I wasn't feeling well.
