DIZZY: Mack's indie Pop Band Adventures (Single Released!)

Author Topic: DIZZY: Mack's indie Pop Band Adventures (Single Released!)  (Read 4265 times)

Hey guys. It's unlikely that many of you remember me, I'm a bit of an old timer member from the earlier days of retail blockland. I figured I'd go full Blogland Forums here and give you an update on where the forget I've been for the past three odd years.



This is my band. We're called Dizzy, we started it back in 2015 as a sort of experiment that grew into something much greater. It consists of our singer Katie, my two brothers (guitar and drums/percussion/synth) and myself on bass/synth.

In late 2015 after lots of writing and gigging in our local city, we were picked up by Canadian label Royal Mountain Records (Alvvays, Mac Demarco, PUP) and were suddenly thrown into a record deal that included a 10 track album procured by Bjork's former producer Damian Taylor.

This year, we were offered a US record deal from Canvasback Records (Alt-J, Joy Formidable) which started with a two song contract and will eventually and hopefully grow into the full deal.

We hopped into our first tour across the US and Canada just two weeks ago. I'm currently laying in a weird motel in Billings, Montana, writing this post because I almost forgot you guys existed. We toured as direct support for an artist named Tei Shi, and on the 13th our first single finally released to the public!

You can listen to the single on YouTube here:

We're also available on Spotify, Apple Music and Google Play.

Album release schedule is looking like April or May of 2018. When I get back home next week we start principal photography for the music video which is pretty exciting.

So yeah! Give it a listen, let me know what you think. Trash talk it if you want. It might be your thing! Or not. But that's cool.

tl;dr I started a band with my brothers and now we're touring across the US and being thrown into the music industry and im becoming an acoholic pls send help

We haven't played in Portland yet, but soon! The next tour is East coast (Nov 30) but after that we'll be hitting places like Portland and Seattle.

haven't forgotten you Mack, good to see you snooping around. I'll reshare this to a ton of people to help spread it around

Not 100% sure, I know we're doing from Chicago to NYC. I'll keep you posted!

Pretty good single man, I really liked it. Good luck with your band in the future!

Ah, I just looked at tour stops for Teh Shi, but from what you said I'm guessing you're not currently following the tour with them.
