Interview with ‘The Mod Line’

February 2nd, 2012

We sat down with The Mod Line at JJ Bean on Commercial Drive and had a chat about music and our beginnings as a band.  It was fun to reminisce.

Read the full interview HERE. It was great to meet Sara from The Mod Line and Darian who took some very handsome pictures of us. ;-)

Back on the road tomorrow with shows in Jasper (Friday) and Canmore (Saturday) this weekend.  Alberta here we come!  ~RB

A “FLEETing” Mountain Tour ; )

January 27th, 2012

Well hello there!

I write this the night before we hit the road for our first show on our MOUNTAIN TOUR.  Tomorrow we drive to Revelstoke.  It’s 7 hours, give or take, depending on the roads and how many stops we make.  The next day we drive back to Vancouver.  Seems a little odd, but here in British Columbia it’s not out of the ordinary to drive almost 600 kilometers to play a show!  We have lots of shows coming up and some of them with even LONGER drives but it’s worth it to make some new friends and new memories.  Here’s a full list of dates and places we will be in the next month.

01/27/12 – Revelstoke, BC – Powder Springs
02/03/12 – Jasper, AB – Whistle Stop Pub
02/04/12 – Canmore, AB – The Canmore Hotel
02/08/12 – Kelowna, BC – Habitat w/ Fields Of Green
02/09/12 – Nelson, BC – The Royal on Baker St w/ Daniel Sky
02/10/12 – Fernie, BC – The Northern
02/11/12 – Harrison, BC – Layback Lounge
02/17/12 – Victoria, BC – Canoe Brew Pub w/ Maurice opening
02/22/12 – Vancouver, BC – The Biltmore Cabaret opening for Maurice
02/25/12 – Whistler, BC – The G.L.C. w/ The Matinee

We just released this video today of us playing one of our favorite cover tunes.  It’s “Your Protector” by Fleet Foxes and we recorded it live at Blue Light Studio for FREE!  Thanks again for having us guys.  Enjoy!  ~RB

Making music in snowy Vancouver!

January 16th, 2012

I woke up this morning and it was snowing in my backyard!  I love the snow but I spent most of the day inside except for when I took the compost out because it was getting rather stinky.  I played my guitar and lots of new songs are in the works.  Some still need work but, Jeremy and I are hoping to have at least 5 new songs by the end of the month when we hit the road.  Yesterday, we started recording a NEW SONG at Blue Light Studio.

They offered all the top 20 bands to come in and record a song and we are taking full advantage.  A HUGE thanks to Blue Light for having us and to Kaj for doing more than just twisting the knobs and pushing the buttons.  Also, congrats to our good friend Milton who recently became a father and thanks for coming by and shooting some video for us. HIGH FIVES all around!  I posted a sneak peak of the new song on our Facebook page if you want to check it out.  Enjoy!
