Allright alright, I know we don't write often enough… that's because we don't have much to say for now! Etienne is writing new stuff and we will start recording soon. Hopefully, we have a few concerts until summer begins. First we'll hit the stage in Sherbrooke on April 24th along with Buddy McNeil & The Magic Mirrors. We'll keep in touch and maybe post samples of the new songs ;)

cheers!

Hola, it's been a while seen the last post. We are currently working on new songs.

We will try them in Quebec City at La Suite (previously known as Le Kashmir) with Colin Moore, Milles Monarques & Silly Kisses on February 17. The doors will open at 9h30 PM. The tickets are 5$.... it's cheap so you can't miss it.... The band has gone through several changes in the lineup for the next couple of shows; there will be two members of Buddy McNeil & The Magic Mirrors joining us on stage.

See ya there!

Fall has been a moment of thinking and writing. Now time has come to move back on a stage. December 13 2009 at Petit Campus in Montreal, we'll be playing for the HMV Megastore Christmas Special along with Chicago Mint Club, Manymental Mistakes and Half Baked. The doors open at 8 PM and it's only 5$. See you there!

Hola everyone,
Because we have a lot of listeners from all around the world, I figured out that I should probably offer a presentation (bio & description) of the project in different languages... So I ask you, listeners from anywhere in the world to send us a new bio or a fair traduction of our english or french bio (as written in the french & english last.fm) in spanish, portuguese, italian, russian, japanese, chinese..... any languages are accepted.... we want to reach as much countries as possible. Send us your text at thesoundofseaanimals@gmail.com. If I choose your text, I'll send you a copy of "Fractions Of Fictions" by mail signed by the band wherever you are on the planet. Feel free to ask us questions to help you with your text or comment our music, it's always appreciated!

hola everyone,

It's been a while since the last post, we had to take a break from the scene; a child was born on August 20th... But do not fear, we will come back with a new version of The Sound Of Sea Animals.

Our objective in 2008 and Spring 2009 was to try different lineup of the band and different stage setup to give us ideas for an upcoming tour this Autumn. We will go back in rehearsal soon and we'll let you know of the dates to come.... We are thrilled to meet you on tour by the end of the year.

cheers

Yeah, we finally played in Quebec City and it was fantastic. Thanks to the people that came to see us, whether it was by curiosity or by interest, the vibe was incredible. We look forward to play there again (Le Cercle is now one of my favorite place to play...thanks to Jean-Claude Anto !!), and we can't wait to play the next gig in Sherbrooke on thursday... You can see few pictures took in Quebec City on the mySpace.

Cheers and see you in Sherbrooke!

Allright, we finally played in Toronto and made quite an impression (I think); although we played a little bit faster and louder than the usual, the audience seemed pleased with it. Thanks to Rebel Conservative Sound for the invitation and their reception. We are looking forward to visit them again this year. You can read about the show on Bob Battams' blog here. He also took awesome pictures, thx Bob! Don't miss the Live session on CISM thursday night and the concert at Le Cabaret Juste Pour Rire on saturday...

Cheers!

Hola que tal,
We have another show in Montreal on April 25 at Le Cabaret Juste Pour Rire opening for a local band called "Maken Kozapo". Might be interesting; they are launching a videoclip and play new songs. We will play new songs as well.... Also, I will play a couple of songs on CHOQ radio on March 23 at 7 pm. You will be able to listen to the interview and the performance by connecting to their radio online... here...
There might be more dates in April; we are working on booking a small tour that would bring us in Toronto, Sherbrooke & Quebec City... We'll post the confirmed dates in a near future.

cheers!

Bonjour folks!

The concert at Le Divan Orange was great, thanks everyone that stayed 'till the end... I send my love to the small crowd that showed up in a small appartment a week ago for an acoustic session in solo, it was short and sweet... Now we move on to the next gig, full band this time, at L'Escogriffe on the 25th of March to celebrate its 9th anniversary . The Walnut Kids will open for us. Can't wait...

During the next month, I will be posting acoustic demos of an upcoming EP; "Strange Weather For Common People" will be available online by the end of spring... well we hope so ;)

Cheers

Watch the CD launch at Les Saints

2008-10-16T11:51:00.000-07:00

Hola,
The CD launch was a success, a lot of people showed up. I'm sorry for those who wanted to get the album at the venue, I still don't know why we couldnt sell it... Anyway, it is on sale everywhere I guess. If you missed the performance that night, you can see several pictures here, here and here... You can also watch and hear the five songs that we performed here. The first concert is officially booked. It will be on the 21 of november at Le Telephone Rouge in Sherbrooke supporting Plants & Animals. I can't wait!
Until then,
Cheers
ECK

The Birth Of The Sea Animals

2008-09-16T09:56:00.000-07:00

Hi folks,

After years of work, the first album of "The Sound Of Sea Animals" will be out in stores on September 30th... Two days later, five songs will be performed by The Sea Animals during the Montreal Pop Festival at The Saints (corner Ste-Cath & St-Laurent)... I couldn't be more formal for this first "blog"; but it's appropriate considering that it concerns the birth of something... well let's say that this is an invitation to a birthday. The band will be Nicotine (guitar), Yann Godbout (bass), Alex Brassard (drums), Emilie Bernard (keys), Pascal Shefteshy (guitar & mellotron) & myself on guitar. You can hear the first single here.

Cheers

ECK
