CONFIRMED SXSW ATTENDANCE FOR 2013

SAID THE WHALE released their latest record, Little Mountain on March 6, 2012 on Hidden Pony Records. Since then, the band has relentlessly toured North America and the UK, and now the 2011 JUNO Award winning quintet for New Group Of The Year, will supportSTARS on their North American tour this March. Said The Whale has also booked a handful of stand-alone shows, three dates within their beloved province of BC, and a couple plays south of the border in Seattle and Portland, all of which precede their outing with STARS. March 2013 also sees the band return to play at the illustrious SXSW festival. All dates are noted below.

Little Mountain was produced by Tom Dobrzanski and mixed by multiple Grammy Award winner, Jack Joseph Puig.

Said The Whale are already ambitiously working on a new album, with a projected release date of the fall of 2013.
