With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
We were in the studio working on an album.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We had confirmed dates in Sweden cancelled. We were also planning on recording in Montreal that was cancelled as well.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
We spent the time recording a five song EP. Working on music was the best way to deal with current state of lock down.
How are dealing with the Covid fifth wave? Have things locked down again in your region? Have you had to cancel gigs, tours, etc.? Are things reopening & restrictions are lifting in your region? Have you booked any new gigs, tours, etc.? What are your plans for 2022?
With a tour cancelled and all the venues shut down, we concentrated on doing our album at our studio, shooting a video and doing some taping of full shows for release. We are now promoting our new album 'Sound Evolution' and will try to gig and tour this year.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?

Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Thanks for checking out our music. Hopefully we can meet on tour when life gets back to normal.
