I'm not sure if we have ever officially announced this...but we have a new record coming out! It is called "Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia", and is a combination of our first record and 7 new songs that we recorded in November. It will be in stores June 3rd, and to celebrate it's release we are having a party at the Biltmore Cabaret in Vancouver. Joining us on the bill will be our friends Lotus Child and Maurice. That show will also be somewhat of a tour kickoff party for us, as the next day we'll be booking it accross the country for the worlds fastest Canadian tour to date. Stay tuned for more info and songs from the new record!

We're back in Vancouver now after an awesome 3 week tour of our beautiful (and extremely cold) country. We're all relieved to be in rainy city, and looking forward to the release of our brand new record, which will be out sometime in May. An official news piece about that to come very soon...
Also, we've JUST added 2 more shows last minute - we'll be in Victoria on March 25th, and Vancouver on March 26th, both nights opening for Born Ruffians, a great band from Ontario. Check the shows section for more info!

Hello from Toronto! We just got here last night and it's already treating us great. We will be in and around Southern Ontario for the next couple days playing a few shows with our Montreal friends Hollerado, then on Saturday March 8th we'll be at the Horseshoe Tavern for our Canadian Music Week show. If you're planning on coming to that show, make sure you get there early, we're on at 9:20pm. That's all for now, hopefully we'll see some of you on the road!

It's been a while since our last update, but hopefully everyone had an awesome holiday season and new years and all that jazz. We've been super busy preparing for our next few tours, the first of which will find us freezing our butt's off with Maurice in BC/AB/SK, and the second of which will have us out east for Canadian Music Week in early March. We are also planning the release of our new album, which will be a stellar combination of our current record with 7 sweet new tracks that we just recorded. We'll have some audio samples up in the next month or so, but till then come see us live in a town near you to hear the new tunes!
Hope to see you out on the road,
-Whales.
It's our gift to you. Two songs, recorded at Vertical Studios, and produced with love by Ben, Tyler, and Tom Dobrzanski for your mellow seasonal enjoyment. Merry XXXmas!
This time it's for real...We're playing an ALL-AGES show! Check out the shows section for more info. And for all you booze-hounds, be sure to come to the Railway Club on Dec. 5th, where we will be sharing a bill with The Gay Straights, who are totally awesome.
