NEW AND OLDER

Here's a couple visual offerings. We opted to get a video of our last show at The Supermarket, and here is the version of "Dream of Stones" that we played. I like the quality of the footage, it kind of reminds me of an old school concert video from TVO or CBC. Visit our youtube channel for more videos.



And also - here's the best long overdue picture from the record release at The Garrison. Note the cake. Note the shirt.

SUMMER NEWS

Well, we've got a few shows lined up for the remainder of the summer (which is going by way too fast...). We'll be playing as part of the Out of the Box Music & Arts Festival - in its first year of operation.And we're especially excited to be playing at the Toronto Underground Cinema. We've never played in a movie theater before, and the addition of 3-D artwork (!!) to go along with the music should be incredible! And yes, there will be 3-D glasses provided!



Apart from playing more shows, we'll also be moving into a new rehearsal space! Hopefully this change will inspire song writing for the fall (we're thinking a 7''? hmmmmm....).

And for some non-Rival Boys related music news - if you are interested in theater, I suggest checking out the Toronto Fringe Festival, and the Summer Works Festival, both of which are hosting shows that significantly involve Sam. You may not know of his incredible talents as a composer outside of Rival Boys, but he is quite amazing. His sound design may be observed in SAVED (part of the Fringe Festival), as well as his own show Program (yes, his OWN show - written and directed by Sam) put on by the Musical Works in Concert portion of the Summer Works Festival, can be viewed this summer. AWESOME!
