Rival Sons (Page 6 of 7)

I agree, saw them live recently on their west coast tour and they were fantastic; set was far too short though.  Most over here are asleep on this band, not the case across the pond where they "Get" this band.

Told you, :-)

Tour of the year for sure!

Holy smokes. Rival Sons (one of my favourite bands in the world) has just announced that they are going on tour with Black Sabbath next year. North America, Australia, and New Zealand are on the list of places they’ll be hitting up. Such amazing news, even though I will now have to shell out a whole lot more dough to go see them than I might have imagined…

When I saw Rival Sons play in Vancouver in January, 2013, they played at The Roxy. Good venue, but small. This spring, they were supposed to play The Commodore in Vancouver, opening for Halestorm. That gig never happened, and while that venue is a prime location for live music in the city, it’s not a stadium. And now? Now they’ll be playing Rogers Arena. I’m hoping for a long set and good acoustics…

Rival Sons will record a new album before going on tour with Deep Purple this fall and winter (read the news), and then hit the road with Black Sabbath in the new year. I hope they are taking care of themselves, because that is one heck of a work schedule!

The announcement & tour dates from Rival Sons Facebook Page:

“Every now and again the universe just speaks to ya…and planets align…This is definitely one of those cool situations for us. A while back we played an award show… The Osbourne family happened to be in the audience. Luckily the attending -which included the upper crust of classic rock and some of the world’s most famous- really enjoyed our little 3 song set…especially Ozzy, Sharon and the kids. Standing ovation and all. We chatted and hung with the Osbournes after the show, which was just incredible on its own…but something much greater has transpired. We couldn’t be more honored and excited to announce we’ll be supporting the legendary Black Sabbath on their upcoming world tour(s)!! This will take us to most of those places we haven’t been yet and back through the many places we have made so many friends and fans. Here we go folks… Black Sabbath and Rival Sons coming to your town…city…country soon!” – Scott Holiday

They Blew it out in Portland a few weeks ago...These guys are sooooo good !

Only around 350 people at the show I saw in Portland. Literally, the perfect show. Now have acquired all 4 discs. Really hard to find a copy of "Pressure and Time", but finally managed to get it. Love "Head Down" as well, and "GWV" is the best rock disc in ages ! Total huge fan. This band keeps developing, as their songwriting becomes more elaborate, and continually changing into this very Zepplin like band.

Rock and Roll is still alive ! Still reeling from the show I saw a month ago...Can't wait

the album artwork looks amazing...this album hopefully will put them in the arenas yes...

well that's something I didn't now. as here in the United Kingdom the radio stations do play the music of the older rock musicians but very little if any newer bands like Rival Sons. Oh yes GWV is an awesome album. the artwork looks really cool.
