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 just wrapped up our tour of Manila, Philippines in early March. Lucky enough we’re heading back to Canada just a few days before the countries announced their travel ban and lockdowns.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We had a few big shows lined up for the summer but unfortunately it had to be cancelled because of the pandemic. We still had a chance to do some online concerts and promotions, 2020 is still good to us even though there’s a lot going on around the world.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
We’ve been busy recording and writing new music. The band released a new single on September and a follow up single coming out this November 19. A new EP is in the works to be released early next year.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
We had a chance to perform at Virtual Canada Day that was broadcasted throughout Canada and at Hoot Owl Festival here in Manitoba. It was a fun experience for sure. Hopefully all concerts and music events will be back soon!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Thank you for checking out our band, The 1221. Let’s continue to support our local artists in our cities and local venues as well. Stay safe and We’ll all see you on the next show when all is back to normal again!
