Artscene Band brings new music to Less Than Level By Dominik Kurek OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF 31 · Friday, July 23, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com T hey live here, they play here, and now these Oakville band members have come out with an EP that they plan to perform here. The rock band Alright Alright has just produced its second CD, a four-track untitled album. There is no word yet when they will hold a CD release party, but the band aims to do it sometime this summer. The project took six to seven months to produce and follows the band's first EP in 2008, Is this a Lion or a Factory? Lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Omar Saab said the band takes its influenced from garage rock of the 1950s and 60s and from artists such as The Beatles, The Clash, Elvis Costello along with Motown and pop music. "You can hear our influences all over," he said It is perhaps the varying influences and sound styles that the band has decided to release two short albums and is already in the beginning stages of a third. "We kind of always enjoyed the concept of having multiple CDs, instead of just one CD with everything we've got. We like the aspect of giving people a little bit and a little more," Saab said. "Our style kind of ranges. There's certain songs that will go together well and there's certain songs that we want to plan for the next EP that will have more fluidity to it. We want to keep some continuity in the EP." The band consists of longtime friends and close neighbours including Saab, Graeme Moffatt, songwriter and bassist, Dave McCamus, guitarist, and Curtis Courtemanche, drummer.

All, save Moffatt, graduated Abbey Park High School in 2007. Moffatt instead went to Cawthra Park Secondary School for the arts in Mississauga. Despite one member attending a different school, they were all close friends and neighbours and played together. It was when they graduated that they became more serious about their art and began writing and recording their own tracks. The band currently has more than a dozen tracks at its disposals and performs regularly around Oakville and beyond. The most recent CD was recorded in Moffatt's basement and mastered in a recording studio. "That has been our long-time rehearsal space," Saab said, of why the group chose the basement to record, "so it was a factor of comfort and that's a very important part of the recording process." The new CD has not yet been distributed to stores but is available at Alright Alright concerts. CD price is $5. People can also listen to the CD on the band's myspace page at www.myspace.com/alrightalrightband. The band's next Oakville show is on Friday, July 30 at Less Than Level, 381 Kerr St., at 9 p.m. HOUSE ANING?
