RIVAL SONS – Pair Of Aces, Pt. 1 (2024) *HQ*
In June 2021, classic rockers RIVAL SONS delivered two live performances from Catalina Island, California. They were originally streamed to fans at home across the world, many of whom were still in lockdown because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
At the time the band stated: “We’ve all been through so much this past year and a half. We have longed to be on the road playing for you. As you know, we launched our label Sacred Tongue Recordings and have been re-releasing our early material. We felt that revisiting these first two records in a live, prestigious setting was the best way to give them the first-class treatment that our humble beginnings couldn’t provide.”
Now, for the first time, these performances will be released. ”Pair Of Aces: Live from Catalina Island (PART 1)” is available now. ”Pair Of Aces: Live from Catalina Island (PART 2)” will be released on December 13.
Frontman Jay Buchanan comments: “To finally release both performances feels good. When we recorded these the band was neck deep in what was to become the Darkfighter / Lightbringer 2-disc collection so breaking away from all of that heavy lifting to go blow some dust off of our origin story felt amazing.”
”Pair Of Aces: Live from Catalina Island (PART 1)” is a raw, unfiltered glimpse at a band raging against the isolation of the times, performing live their very first, 2009 indie debut album entirely. And rocks.
