BAND

Today is a new day.

You can sing the same song a hundred times and it will never be the same. Nothing is, everything is, movement. Toronto’s DD/MM/YYYY just released their sophomore album Are They Masks? on July 10th, 2007.

Ranging from subdued atmospherics to tempo-tantrum art punk, the album retains the experimental learning of the band, while poking fun at familiar pop formats. The follow up album to 2005’s Blue Screen of Death, Are They Masks? documents the continued evolution of the band with twenty one new songs.

Taking influence from the works of Frank Zappa, Melt Banana, DADA art and video games, DD/MM/YYYY formed in 2003, out of the ashes of two recently disbanded Toronto acts.

They have since released a split CD with Panserbjorne in 2004, The World is So Unreal, as well as Blue Screen of Death.

They have supported their releases with incessant touring, having successfully toured Canada many times over. This past May, DD/MM/YYYY embarked on their first full North American tour. The tour, which ran May 1, 2007-July 9, 2007, included dates with Japanther, Matt & Kim and Dan Deacon. DD/MM/YYYY has had the pleasure of performing with The Blood Brothers, Aids Wolf, Tokyo Police Club, Gogogo Airheart, An Albatros and White Mice, amongst others. DD/MM/YYYY will be touring again throughout the fall, with both Canadian and United States dates.

DD/MM/YYYY is:

(L-R) Tomas Del Balso, Matt King, Moshe Rozenberg, Mike Claxton, Jordan Holmes
