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!

UPDATES

The past few weeks have been fantastic for us. We've had great shows in Toronto and Guelph with good friends, lots of cake, and amazing music from everyone.

And now that it is officially summer (yay!), we're going to patios, gardening, and playing more shows!

Here are some pictures from our past exploits, from the Garrison, meetings, and the E Bar.

 Also, This!

TONIGHT!

Today is our record release party - and we are all extremely excited. We've been running around in varying states of anxiety and panic, but everything at last seems to have worked out. Here are some pictures of how we prepared for tonight.

WHITE LIGHT

Here is our first ever music video! Graeme was able to transfer all of our family footage to a digital format recently, and so he made a music video out of it! It being Graeme's birthday today, it is fitting to see some childhood footage of us from way back.

SO CLOSE SO CLOSE

Here's a poster for our upcoming release party. These will be FREE at the show!

THE FEELING'S MUTUAL

We were recently interviewed by Sticky Magazine; or I should say that we embarrassingly blathered on to Sticky Magazine about our exploits. Read it all HERE.

Being interviewed is a weird thing - we're generally all self conscious about talking about our music, and this time we all felt like we were definitely pre-thinking sentences before speaking them out loud to make sure we were being understood (that is, until the cider kicked in...). Hopefully our blathering makes some sense.
