Todd Simko to play with Combine the Victorious


It's with great delight that I can announce that Mr. Todd Simko (former guitarist from Pure) has agreed to perform with us on our July 18th show at the Biltmore Cabaret. He has also done us the honour of playing on our latest track Decay. Those guitars are all from the master himself! In addition to Todd we also shall have the pleasure of Kevin Jones (The February March) joining us on the drums as well. It shall be a more stripped down show, we're looking at restructuring some of the older songs to be playable with just bass, guitar and drums. Isabelle and I want to try out a more intimate club style on this gig.

Other big news is that our label, Boutique Empire, is off the ground and proudly presenting this upcoming showcase. The roster includes Combine the Victorious, Guilty About Girls (Jordy Birch's new group) and of course, Sex With Strangers. SWS will be unveiling the new material from their masterpiece: The Modern Seduction.

Once again Mr. Robert Edmonds has provided us with an incredibly cool and summer of love inspired poster: I think it's fantastic.


This is going to be a very fun night, all three bands offer something different but something very danceable and fun.

all humans are requested to attend

We are pleased to announce that we will be the special guests at the next Shadowline night at the Waldorf Hotel here in Vancouver.   Tied in with Vancouver Fashion week this is a special showcase on November 22nd.  Also in keeping with the Goth vibe of the night Combine is performing at Midnight.  A special cover song is being prepared in the spirit of the evening. Also we have just signed on to appear at the Indie Pop Vancouver night, Dec 7th at the B-Ex on Kingsway (British Ex-Serviceman's Association).   Combine is headlining the night but we are very excited to be sharing the bill with The Population Drops , a band that I've been recording over the summer and am really impressed with!  The Rain and the Sidewalk is slated to open the night.  We are hoping to make it into an early Xmas party. Still working on a Portland show, if anyone reading this has a good lead please let us know! Thanks for reading, we'll have another new video soon.  The multitalented Stefan

New Song: Brotherhood

-
Brotherhood is a song that I started writing in response to a very dear friend taking his own life back in 2012.  Our friend Todd Simko , who I'd played in Pure with back in the nineties, and who later performed with Combine the Victorious for several shows in 2007 and 2008, left us in the spring of 2012.  His death created a disturbing wake of emotions that eventually found their way into this song. Back in January or February of 2013 I remember starting the core idea one afternoon and the song took shape quite rapidly.  The lyrics are personal but I tried to keep them open to interpretation rather than literal; it's been a sad realization that this kind of incident isn't as rare as it may seem.   The truth is all four of us: Juice, Misty, Isabelle and I were heavily affected by Todd's death, and it's been many months of processing.  We recorded this version back in the summer, on a beautiful day in Vancouver full of sunshine and laughs.  Misty is playing the
