Stars Of Boulevard

2 EPs and 3 drummers in, Vancouver rock group Stars Of Boulevard is stronger than ever, with a big year ahead of them.

Walking triumphantly out of the courtroom after winning a legal battle with one of their ex-drummers, the boys look unphased, as if this weren’t their first run-in with the law (we’re sure it wasn’t).

Frontman Joshua Helgason, ex-singer of The Sessions (2006 winners of Emergenza, the world’s largest Battle of the Bands), lights a cigarette as they get into a cab. SOB have now acquired a new drummer in Matty Carolei (Lost Vultures), and after speaking with the 4-piece band at their local hang out spot — Whineo’s on Granville in Vancouver — they seem to mesh musically and emotionally, as if they had been together for years.

SOB just signed on with RockGamer Studios to release several of tracks on the smash hit video game Rock Band, including “Limousine”.

In early November of 2009, they are going into Mushroom Studios to record a single with worldclass production duo Jeff Dawson & Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Metallica).

“We’re excited as hell to work with talented people who know what the end result could possibly be in this business,” says guitarist Ken Abbey, when asked about the Rock Band opportunity, as well as working with Mike Fraser.

SOB is Joshua Helgason (Vocals), Ken Abbey (Guitar), Johnny Kaye (Bass) & Matt Carolei (Drums).
