Said The Whale

Our people. We are very lucky to have you. 😘#AsLongAsYourEyesAreWide #ListeningParty

Good morning! If you are a vinyl or CD lover, head to www.saidthewhale.com right now to pre-order our new album on either format. Every order comes with a vinyl bumper sticker and felt pennant (pictured!) at no extra cost, as well as FOUR wav files - 'Step Into The Darkness' + 'Heaven' from the album, and two songs we recorded during the same sessions that didn't make the record. Please note: this last week has been a crash-course in e-commerce for me, so I'll be standing by the ol' lapbook to solve any tech issues that may or may not arise today. 🤓 Also, thank you all for your support! As an independent band, your purchase literally puts gas in our tank and figuratively puts the wind in our sails.

We are a trio now, and today @nylonmag has premiered the first single from our new record. It has been a tumultuous couple years for us, but we hope you'll stick by our side as we roll out this new record, which we are confident is our best yet. Please listen + share, link in profile. ❤️

Vancouver: pre-sale has begun for our April 29 album release show (all-ages). Password is TURNTABLE. Purchase link in profile. (at The Vogue Theatre)

Here are all the tour dates we have set in stone right now. Tickets on sale this Friday!! Feel free to yell at us in the comments section and tell us where we are missing. There will be lots of touring in 2017, we'll do our best to make it to you. (Poster design by @art_gallery_punk)

The Walking DAD + Mauled By A Bear. Happy Halloween everyone! #DayOfTheDad #DadManRising #WantedDadOrAlive #DropDadGorgeous

STATUS UPDATE (as long as your eyes are wide)

Happy 9th band-birthday to us! A perfect day to thank you all for your continued love and support - without you, we'd probably still be Munsoned out in Elkhorn.

Last show of tour tonight in Vancouver!! *SOLD OUT* Set times: David Vertesi - 8:15pm STW - 8:50pm (at Fox Cabaret)

CALGARY: 100 more tickets have just been released for our show this Saturday. SNATCH EM UP. (Purchase link in profile) Btw, it's an early show - doors at 7, we play at 8pm sharp. (at Marquee Beer Market & Stage)

Tour kicks off tonight and we're sold out for every show except 3! We'll let you know if any extra tickets come available though - sometimes that happens, so stay tuned. Thank you all for buying tickets for this tour, it's gonna be a fun one. For those attending: we are doing two sets. The first set will be some deep cuts paired with some brand new songs that we've never played live before. (Expect mistakes). The second set will be ones you can surely sing along to. Can't wait to play some music and hang out with you all ❤️

Working on our setlist for the upcoming Canadian tour...any MUST-plays on this record that you think we should re-learn and work into the set?? Here's the tracklisting in case you forgot: 1. Dear Elkhorn 2. Out on the Shield 3. BC Orienteering 4. Camilo (The Magician) 5. Emerald Lake, AB 6. Islands Disappear 7. Black Day in December 8. Gentleman 9. False Creek Change 10. A Cold Night Close to the End 11. The Gift of a Black Heart 12. Goodnight Moon 13. Holly, Ontario

THIS JUST IN: we're going on tour this spring! A bit of an experiment...it'll be just us, playing two sets. One set will be all brand new songs - songs that literally have not been written yet. So we get to road-test new material before we record it, and you get to hear us work through the kinks in a live setting. 🙃 And then we'll do a set of stuff you already know. It's gonna be fun. All intimate venues, tickets on sale this Friday.

BIG DAY for Canadian music, everyone. 🇨🇦 @wearethecity @justinbieber #AboveClub #Purpose

Ben and I are holed up in these sweet little forest huts in Banff, AB for the next 10 days writing music for a new STW record. Absolutely no clue what it'll sound like yet. (at The Banff Centre)

Have a SCHWIFTY Halloween everyone! #wubalubadubdub #dontbeajerry #shumshumshlippidydop
