Our new jam space spontaneously flooded last week, so now we’re jamming in a garage. I always wanted to play in a garage band….

Passive Attack by Sound of Lions
July 14th, 2010Here it is, the first single from our upcoming album! The video was shot a few weeks ago by Andrew Ventura in Toronto’s Cabbage Town. Andrew is very talented and efficient and was just awesome to work with. The video concept and sub-theme were 100% his idea’s. The amazing part is how cool he’s made me look! I hope to do many more creative projects with him.
Let us know what you think of the video!

We’re getting fatter…
July 9th, 2010
…and by that i mean Sound of Lions is getting bigger. As in adding new members! We always knew we wanted to take the music live. And especially after opening for Aloe Blacc and his live band, we put a rush on things. (btw BEST live show i’ve EVER seen, the man’s got style in every way imaginable.)
We have been working with Will (guitar) and Joel (bass) for the past few months. They’ve played on tracks and jammed with us a million times. Marco is a good friend and an unbelievable drummer. So we had our first practice last night and we hammered out two songs in an hour. It felt so good and we all left anxious for the next practice. Can’t wait to perform with these guys and show you all how groovy it sounds!!!!

My Bloody Valentine by FLIGHT DISTANCE
June 25th, 2010We shot this video in the laundry room of our apartment. Flight Distance, made up of Patience, Bender, and DJ Calkuta are an Ottawa rap group that make rap awesome again. Don’t get me wrong, i loooove rap. Love when it’s thoughtful and weighty. But you know…sometimes the good stuff doesn’t rise to the top. Check em out on www.myspace.com/flightdistance
so, you’ve got Joel Soucy (who’s pretty much an official member of Sound of Lions) on guitar, Z.Z.Bot and Cal on percussion, myself peeking over Patience, and Bender with a giant beer tumbler. Please enjoy

SMASH contributions
June 6th, 2010
Will, from Ottawa band Oceans, came over and played guitar on some songs the other night. We met Will (in red) and Kate (bass, far right) when they opened for Old Crowns at Zaphods a while back. I loved their live performance. Both very charismatic onstage, and of course, talented. And we wanted a piece of that.
So last night was awesome and productive. Will played on a new song (Smash Therapy) and therefore contributed to the song being EPIC. stay tuned for this…
