Victorious Combinations

We were asked to perform again at this year's Rock n Roll Marathon here in Vancouver.  Of course we said yes, because who doesn't love waking up for a Sunday 6:30AM load in to play a cold wet stage in the darkened corners of East Van?  (I only half kid about that.) Yes, we will be blasting our songs out to the thousands and thousands of hearty runners who take part in this half marathon.  It's been fun the last couple years so we're looking forward to it. Even more importantly we have booked a show at the Fox Cabaret for December 14 2016 as part of a full Boutique Empire evening.  To start the night will be an exclusive Isabelle Dunlop Clothing fashion show, with co-operation from David Briker's store Platform , and Erin Templeton Bags.  The fashion show will be followed by a live performance by Combine the Victorious ,  who shall be joined onstage by Leigh Grant on drums, and we shall conclude the evening the band Terrace  with the dance...

We are stoked to announce this remix of our song "Real Life Turns Me On."  Produced and mixed by none other than Ben " Kreap " Crea from Melbourne, Australia, this is possible the best track we've ever had the pleasure of being part of.  A disco masterpiece that is now be offered by the fine people of Dance and Rave.com .   Have a listen, have a dance and put it on repeat!  This one is a killer!

We have entered this year's CBC Searchlight contest and hope you'll give us a click of support.  Voting is only a portion on the rating's system but it always helps to have some audience support.  Plus we are hoping that this contest will extend our listener-base beyond the borders of the  Vancouver area.  Prizes include $50K, Yamaha gear, and flights to the final awards show.  Please have a l ook/listen and vote! VOTE for Glasgow by clicking  HERE . ----- Thanks.   We also have an intimate performance coming up at the Isabelle Dunlop Clothing store April20th 2016.  We'll be doing a couple brand new songs that we've been working on this past month.  All part of the Chuk Foto exhibit that is opening than evening, Apr 20th.  4158 Main St, Vancouver.

We are both pleased to present our new video of Glasgow being performed live at the Fox Cabaret.  This is a new arrangement and performance our one of our best songs, and both Isabelle and I are rather excited about how well it's all turned out. Filmed originally when we were opening for Sex With Strangers at their CD release party at the Fox Cabaret in Vancouver, Canada, we'd almost forgot we had this footage until about three weeks ago when I refound the folder I'd put everything into.  I think both of us were surprised at how great it looked and I decided it was worth editing together.  This is our live version, it has a different arrangement with new loops and sounds from the Crumbling Hearts version from 2012.   Because we performed this as a duo, I changed a lot of the tracks and made it entirely electronic, with new loops and way more synths!  I think it works as well as the original, with a somewhat dreamier sound and obviously no guitars. Produc...

We are really excited about a couple new videos that are being made concurrently.  One is still being developed and we're hoping we can secure some grant money to finish it, and the other is almost ready for airing.  So, rather than tease you with details about the former (we will admit it's for our song Best Tonight ), we shall let out some information about that latter video: Glasgow (live @FoxCabaret). A few weeks back Isabelle and I were going through some of our new ideas and I came across a folder containing footage from a live show we had performed at the Fox Cabaret .  When we had a look at it we were both really impressed with how great the raw footage was!  Big thanks once again to Benn McGuire and Mike Love for their great camera work, it was a real treat to rediscover it.  We'd performed a short opening set that night, only five songs, and Glasgow was right in the middle of the set.   I was inspired enough to take on the...

Isabelle and I had a great time down at Roundhouse Radio on Tuesday afternoon and are pleased to share our interview.  We discuss music and fashion.  It was a lot of fun and we performed a couple songs acoustically: Glasgow and Brotherhood.   Have a listen, we are both rather pleased with it.

Wow, it's been ages since we've posted anything.  So much has gone on, it's funny to realize how little time we've spent online! The store has been very busy these days, so we've been a bit slack with our music.  However, we do have a couple things coming up that'll be fun.  On Thursday, Dec 17th ,  we are hosting the Boutique Empire Xmas Party at Isabelle's store: Isabelle Dunlop Clothing .   On display will be the debut series from Jean Vercoe, the recluse.   Also we are proud to offer a stage to our friends The Population Drops for a mini showcase set (8:45 sharp).   I'm going to be DJing songs to set the festive vibe and a few of our friends shall be providing a complimentary seasonal beverage for us all to enjoy.
