Summer in the city!

Hey kids,

Wow, can't believe that NxNE has come and gone again! Thanks to Dan Burke, NeXT @ NxNE and the great crowd at The Silver Dollar, our festival was a blast.

The fantastic Chart Attack Magazine highlighted Elvyn on their controversial NxNE Report Card series this year, and we're proud to say we got the best review of the night! You can peep the whole thing by clicking here;

 

Recording is coming on nicely, and we're getting the artwork for the two part, 7" & LP combo all lined up with the great Rocket 57 Illustration from Ottawa. We're really jazzed on the music, and the collaboration with this awesome company should make these releases something super special!

Next on the live schedule, we'll be in Peterborough for the Hunter Street Hootenanny Festival, August 13th with Hollerado, Cuff The Duke, The Spades, The Wooden Sky and more!  We'll have more details and line-up times for ya'll really soon, but it could be one of the highlights of your summer!

Then we'll be back in Toronto to follow up on the NxNE destruction with a really special show at The Horseshoe on August 20th... You'll have to stay tuned for the line-up, but here's a hint... That's ignoramus Ezra Levant doesn't like them one bit. 

So, thanks for making our summer a great one, and we'll see you all really soon!

Busy times!

Hey everyone,

First of all, we want to say thanks for the amazing support we have received for The Decline and for the band over the last year or so... It's been a tremendous ride, and without people like Marc & The Still Winter Hills, The Flats, The Ethers, Craig & Collective Concerts, Jon Hall, The Dress Whites, Danny Burke, Steve Parkinson, Eli, Ryan Kemp, Pete Carmichael & The Diableros and our amazing fans and friends all over Europe, the States, Japan and Canada it wouldn't be nearly as sweet.

We've been quieter that normal for the last little while, as our focus has been on new songs and all the blood, sweat and tears that go along with getting them down on tape.  We've pulled out all the stops to bring you all our best music to date, and we can't wait to share it with you!

We'll be releasing a limited edition 7" late summer of 2011, and following it up with a full-length album in early 2012. We're very excited to be putting these out with a real focus on making them as cool and collectible as possible! There are so many great ways to get all you guys new music, like special one-off pressings, coloured vinyl, secret downloads etc. So make sure that you keep your ears to the ground as we ramp up toward these releases over the coming months!

A special thank-you has to go out to the awesome bloggers and music writers who helped make The Decline such a success. This is an open call to every one of you who has reviewed The Decline, posted up songs on Soundcloud etc. and generally worked so hard to spread the word for Elvyn;

Please get in touch with Jeremy at littlewagonrecords(at)gmail(dot)com, and we will make sure that you get every new song at least a full month before any other website or music publication!  We truly value you guys, and we'd be honored to have you publish the first reviews!

So, stay tuned you guys... See you on the road!     

Three bands, Three Towns mini-tour & more!

Hey folks!

We're starting off 2011 with a bang, with three great shows with our friends The Ethers from Toronto, and Still Winter Hills (formerly The Woodrunners) from Ottawa!

Jan. 27th, The Dakota Tavern, Toronto
Jan. 28th, The Montreal House, Peterborough
Jan. 29th, the Elmdale House Tavern, Ottawa

So, if you're in the neighborhood on these nights, don't miss a night of spectacular music!

As 2010 has wrapped up, we've seen a tremendous wave of support from the music blogging and message board communities.  Our latest album, The Decline, has made a number of Year-End and Best-Of-2010 lists;

Conqueror Of The Moon - Best Albums of 2010 (#7 of 20)
Absolute Powerpop - Top 100 of 2010 (#4 of 100)
White Russians Are For Saturday Afternoons - Top 50 of 2010 (#19 of 50)
One Chord To Another - Albums Of The Year 2010 (#7 of 40)

This is amazing without citing every forum members mention of us at the Obner.org board, the Teenage Fanclub board and the European powerpop message boards!  We're very grateful for making so many of your 2010 lists (we have checked out every one!).  We've also seen continued support from 107.5 fm in Madrid, 101.5 fm The Wolf in Peterborough, CKCU 93.1 fm in Ottawa and 101.3 fm also from Madrid.

So, we thank you all for a fantastic 2010, and we hope you'll stick around for the goodies to come in 2011!
