TORONTO, ON March 13, 2013 - The Holiday Crowd hit the road this week for two week tour with stops in Germany, Italy, France and the UK. The band is touring to support the debut release of “Over The Bluffs” release by Manimal Vinyl which includes two new songs “Sick Days” and “Born Under a Different Sign”. Imran Haniff has unofficially dubbed it, the “Enhanced tour”. He had this to say as he packed up his small clothes, “It’ll be a reunion with family and friends we made on our last outing there; the lovely folks in Berlin and Hamburg and our pallys in Northern Portrait. We look forward to seeing them, and meeting new comrades in Italy and France.” The tour includes a special date in London at Buffalo Bar where The Holiday Crowd will meet up with their Shelflife label mates, The Proctors and The Fireworks. This will be the first time the band play the UK. Says Haniff, “We will be visiting such historically rich places like Rome, Paris and London; perhaps some life changing experiences will occur?” But we’re there to make history ourselves… Shall we take a trip?” The Holiday Crowd – Enhanced Tour Check out the new video for “Sick Days” : TORONTO, ON Jan 31, 2013 – Television gets a little wilder this winter with three crucial Lioness sync placements using/featuring songs off their debut full-length The Golden Killer (New Romantic).

TORONTO, ON April 17, 2012 - The Golden Killer is out now. Three years in the making, the album does not disappoint. Known best for their dancefloor filling jams, Lioness slow things down with the mournful dirge “They Clip The Wings of Birds” but as Toronto Star’s Ben Rayner points out “the arrangement and the production remain all-engulfingly gigantic.” “They Clip The Wings of Birds” is available as a free, legal download: SOUNDCLOUD. Lioness, unveiled their theatrical live show this past Friday The 13th at The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern. Vanessa Fischer, veiled at center stage and flanked by skull-faced bikers, declared she was “not afraid of bad omens”, she mingles with black cats and walks under ladders. Red banners sporting the band’s symbol curtain the stage for the sumptuous fire visuals conceived by drummer Jeff Scheven. The sound and collaborative vision of the band commanded everyone on to their feet. Through out the show Fischer’s piercing eyes seem to look from the pyre into the future, while bassist Ronnie Morris backs through the crowd and falls on the floor convulsing. Lioness were joined throughout the show by Hollie Stevenett on keyboards and vocals, with guest appearances by Amy Bowles (Hollow Earth, Pony Da Look) and Leon Taheny (The Golden Killer Producer, Rituals). You can read all about the debut of their theatrical new show in this Now Magazine 4 star review.
