Vancouver-based Yukon Blonde have debuted a brand new video for their single “Water” from their recently released Fire//Water EP on Dine Alone Records (Tokyo Police Club, Neon Indian). Directed by Amazing Factory Productions, the video for “Water” was shot on the plains of their native Vancouver, and features the band out of luck, time, and their most vital resource. The quartet continues to support the EP on an extensive North American fall tour including more than 60 dates where fans can purchase a vinyl copy in either fire orange or water blue.

Performing their way down to the States this weekend, Yukon Blonde will appear in NYC for a special one-off Halloween set before returning to Canada for early November dates. The band will be transforming their beards into waxed and groomed mustaches in support this year’s Movember campaign. Catch their new Movember look and rumored Village People attire as they celebrated the holiday and raise general awareness for men’s wellness and prostate health.

Produced by Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Ladyhawk) the four song follow up to the quartet’s Polaris and WCMA award nominated debut LP was written partially while on the road, and partially while off the road at a cottage in the Comox Valley (BC). The band recorded a total of 15 songs over the course of the summer, and the remaining 11 tracks will be featured on their sophomore LP in early 2012.

Yukon Blonde’s career has so far been marked by their on-the-road ethic. Last Fall they embarked on a 30+ date tour supporting Good Old War, as well as several headlining runs down each coast. This summer the young B.C. band played at Milwaukee Summerfest with Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and the last year and a half has seen them rack up nonstop tour mileage both in North America, and Europe, including festivals such as SXSW, CMJ and Popkomm Festival in Berlin along the way. Make sure to check them out this fall as they wind through the entire country.

Philadelphia’s Good Old War will play 10 shows with Alison Krauss in June, beginning with a stop at Los Angeles’s Greek Theatre on June 23rd. The band will then join Gomez for four east coast dates.

Good Old War has built a considerable following over the past year as support for Joshua Radin, Brandi Carlile, Dr. Dog, Xavier Rudd and Guster. The band, already popular veterans of SXSW and CMJ, became a fan favorite on this year’s second stage at Coachella.

The trio’s self-titled album debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart, reaching #1 on iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart and #1 overall at Amazon. They’ve now sold over 40,000 albums on their independent label, Sargent House.

The Wall Street Journal recently profiled the band as part of what they call the “Harmonic Convergence,” alongside Mumford & Sons and Fleet Foxes. The piece compared them to Crosby, Stills & Nash, saying “this Philadelphia trio delivers not just its choruses but also many verses in lock-step harmony.”

Good Old War is currently recording their third album, expected to be released in late 2011.
