Our Lady Peace Kick Off 2009 Headlining Tour
Canadian Rockers Release New Album, Burn Burn, Tour to Support
Oct 7, 2009
Burn Burn, the latest album from the well established Our Lady Peace, has produced a hit single "All You Did Was Save My Life," thanks to heavy rotation at four different formats: Alternative, Top 40, Triple A and Active. The video stars fellow Canadian, Shenae Grimes, of "90210" and "Degrassi: The Next Generation" fame.
"The End Is Where We Begin" is the second single is now being serviced to radio and has recently been added to stations nationwide including KDGE/Dallas, KTBZ/Houston, WKRK/Cleveland, KRBZ/Kansas City, WPBZ/West Palm Beach and WGRD/Grand Rapids. A video for the song will make its premiere in the next couple of weeks.
The Creation of the New Album
Primarily self-produced in lead singer Raine Maida’s Los Angeles home studio, Burn Burn marks the longest period between studio albums for Our Lady Peace. It also signifies a musical and philosophical rebirth.
The band now enjoys a creative and professional freedom that they haven’t experienced since the release of their now classic debut. “I think about the way we made Naveed” Maida recalls, speaking to Suite101 and other media outlets via press release earlier this month. “We were just starting, we knew nothing about the business and we had no expectations. It was four guys in a room just trusting their instincts. We went back to that. ‘Liberating’ doesn’t really even sum it up.”
Maida calls the record a "a proper, mature rock album" heavy with the stripped-down intensity and anthemic qualities of their earlier work (Clumsy, Naveed). The new material has fused well with the band's live show which has garnered warming reviews from magazines and online imprints such as antimusic.com whose staff wrote on August 6th,"OLP proved their readiness as arena-worthy superstars during the opening night of the Canadian act's U.S. tour.”
The performance in Los Angeles left the Troubadour none-too-pleased with the damage OLP incurred. Maida victoriously climbed up walls to the second floor during "All You Did Was Save My Life," leaving a heap of destruction in his wake. An industrious fan caught the spiderman-esque run which can be checked out here.
Our Lady Peace On Tour
In support of Burn Burn, Our Lady Peace will swing their mighty tour through the United States beginning October 19th At Solana Beach, California. This particular leg of the tour will be a quick one, clipping through the South and parts of the Midwest. One date to check in particular will be the 25th of October when Our Lady Peace plays the House of Blues in New Orleans.
