Support your local Elvyn!

Hey guys,

More rock shows in T.O.!

Elvyn will be playing shows at two of Toronto's music landmarks this fall, The Silver Dollar Room and The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern! We need you guys to do Elvyn a solid... Come on out to these great venues, and help us show them a rockin' party like they've never seen!

We're bringing a compact set of our rockin'-est tunes as part of a super-fun "Shoeless Monday" lineup at The Horseshoe on November 30th with support from T.O. singer-songwriter George Casey and his band, as well as The McFlies. This seven-piece cover all those awesome 80's classics with an all-acoustic twist.

I predict dancing...

But first, we'll be playing a full set with a handful of the finest covers at The Silver Dollar Room on October 23rd in support of St. Johns, Newfoundland's Catcher! Check them out at their Myspace.

As Dark As It Is ("Elvyn" LIVE)


Here's a rough n' ready video of a song from the first record captured by a fan, and it's still a crowd-pleaser! We did this off the floor, and the sound is actually pretty good!

Thanks a lot for coming out to Guelph, and for sending us the video!

Elvyn - No.7 in September!

Elvyn made No.7 on the CBC-approved "It's Not The Band I Hate, It's Their Fans" top ten in September list for our show with Black Diamond Heavies at The Velvet Underground! Here's the skinny;
7. Black Diamond Heavies / Elvyn @ Velvet Underground
(Thursday September 17th; Cost: TBA)

Black Diamond Heavies are an American band that take everything that is raw and dirty about rock 'n roll and boil it into a soulful stew that is as loud and authentic as the music of any gritty garage band to emerge out of the Detroit scene over the last 30 years. Except they're actually from Nashville. And I haven't actually heard them yet. Still, from what I've read, it sounds like they put on a heckuva rawk show. Admittedly, the main reason that this show makes my monthly ten list for September is the fact that Peterborough's Elvyn will be kicking off the night, and they'll likely be showcasing some songs from their upcoming full length, which should be out in the near future. Elvyn revels in the kind of rootsy pop music that makes artists like Teenage Fanclub and The Jayhawks so great, and they're certainly worth getting out on a Thursday night for.
