Live Nation announces illScarlett will perform Friday, March 12 at The Sound Academy as part of Canadian Music Fest 2010. Doors will open at 7pm with performances starting at 8pm. Tickets will be available at Ticketmaster.
With more than 2 million MySpace plays and over 60,000 illScarlett records sold to date illScarlett have set the stage for a much anticipated sophomore release. 1UP!
From the beginning, illScarlett’s hardcore DIY ethic worked as an effective tool to get the band noticed from the get go. Using old school methods (tirelessly touring their asses off) and new technologies (myspace, youtube, facebook etc.) to initiate the groundswell illScarlett manufactured a solid fan base. The story goes that a few years ago, they pulled into the Van’s Warped Tour parking lot, fired up a generator and started playing for the people lined up for the concert with the hopes of selling some of the bands independent, self financed EP’s . This got the attention of Warped founder Kevin Lymon, who invited them to play his nightly post-show party. They killed it, have been guests of the warped tour ever since and we’d like to say ‘the rest is history’.
When singer Alex Norman is asked the meaning of the album’s title 1UP!, his response is very straightforward, “1UP! takes every lesson we’ve learned as a band, from our days pounding the pavement promoting our first shows to working with world class producers, and channels that amassed knowledge into an album that is better than anything we have ever done!”
With the release of 1UP! The band has set out on a North American tour hitting The Sound Academy on March 12th, don’t miss it!
