We’ll have more info about where and when we’ll be busking coming soon!

And a very special thanks to MuchFACT and PromoFACT, without their support we wouldn’t have it at all.

Saint Al’.

See you there!

Kidding aside, everyone has stepped up and is focused on working hard. Other projects have been moved to the side and we are all going full steam on what we hope to deliver as our defining album. If you get a chance and you are a “youtuber” please add our station www.youtube.com/saintalviacartel . I will be posting regular updates and videos from now on and we will finally start working that thing.

Stay tuned!

Saint Alvia will be playing the official Green Day / AFI Encore Performance After Party on the rooftop of the American Express Lounge tomorrow night inside the Molson Amphitheatre.

Right after Green Day are off the main stage, come on around the far side of the mainstage where Saint Alvia will hit the Amex Lounge rooftop to play a free show for all Green Day / AFI ticket holders.

If you’re going to the show be sure to make your way to the American Express Lounge right after Green Day to catch us at 11pm!

And as you know, we are currently working on a new album, so we might even play a few brand new songs for you!

See you there!

As some of you may have heard, the Paper+Plastick band Protagonist had all of their gear stolen in Oklahoma City a few months ago, just before entering the studio with Stephen Egerton to record a new full-length. Despite this major setback, the band continues to move forward thanks to all the community and fan support.

With $22,000 worth of gear completely gone, P+P has set up an Ebay auction of 43 rare test pressings, and all proceeds will help the band recoup and continue making music.

We’re no strangers to having our shit stolen, so we feel their pain and recommend you go grab some of these ultra-rare collectibles, and show your support at the same time.

Up for grabs are the following test presses.

* A Wilhelm Scream – s/t
* Anti-Flag – Queens and Kings 7”
* Blacklist Royals – Semper Liberi
* Coffee Project – Moved On
* The Dopamines – Expect The Worst
* Farewell Continental – s/t
* Flatliners/Snips – split 7”
* Foundation – Chimborazo
* Frank Turner – The First Three Years
* fun – Aim and Ignite
* Greenland Is Melting – Our Hearts Are Gold, Our Hearts Are Blue
* Saint Alvia – Joxner
* Slackers – Lost and Found
* Spanish Gamble – It’s All Coming Down
* The Have Nots – Serf City USA
* The Riot Before – Rebellion
* The Swellers – Ups and Downsizing
* Tumbledown – s/t
* We Are The Union – Great Leaps Forward
* West Bound Train – Come and Get It
