New Ontario Shows!
May 1st, 2010 | By saintalvia
So we figured since our van was stolen, (and we still haven’t got the insurance settlement, so we can’t replace it), the time seemed right to go do a little touring. We don’t like doing things the easy way.
We’re really looking forward to doing these shows, and there’s gonna be a surprise for people that come out to them…. we just can’t tell you what it is yet… but if you want a hint, let’s just say you’ll be the first people to see something we’ve been working on for a while now.
Come out and party… you know we will.
SAINT ALVIA IN ONTARIO, MAY 2010
May 13 Red Dog Tavern, Peterborough, ON
May 15 Sneaky Dees, Toronto, ON
May 18 Call The office, London, ON

Thank You Burlington

We want to thank everyone involved with our impromptu show at the Queens Head Pub in Burlington this Friday. It all came together really quickly, and it was a huge success. Thank you to all the bands who came and played, all the people who helped put it together, the Queens Head Pub for hosting us, and a huge thanks to everyone who came out to support. This town we call home has always been really great to us, and Friday night was truly inspiring.
We really can’t thank you enough, but the best way we can think of to try, is to go down to play the hell out of these shows in the US that we’ve got coming up. It’s because of all your support that we’re going to be able to make it down there at all, and it means the world to us.
Our van may be gone, but our spirits are high, and we are stoked as hell to be able to do this on behalf of all of you.
We won’t ever forget this.
Saint Alvia.

SAINT ALVIA’S “OUR VAN GOT STOLEN AND WE ARE TOTALLY FUCKED” FUNDRAISER
April 15th, 2010 | By saintalvia
Hey Y’all, So you may have heard our part time home, band member and Van got stolen out front of Matt Richmond’s girlfriend’s home in Hamilton. This has left us very sad and confused and wishing she would just come home safely. However, we can’t crumble and have to chin up. We have a mini tour in the southern states with some great bands that we are committed to and refuse to cancel.
We know Burlington has been more than supportive of us and we can never really express how much that means to us… ever.
Right now, we are sort of out of options ( not bombing neverland) and so we’re throwing a show to try to save whats left of our spirits. We are going to attempt to throw a fundraiser next friday the 23rd at the queens head in Burlington. They have been kind enough to let us occupy their Basement banquet hall and its a great spot. Perhaps Burlington’s best kept little secret.
It’s always awkward to ask for help, but if you are looking for a good time next friday the 23rd and feel charitable, please come out.
right now the line up is
SAINT ALVIA & JEREMY CHAMBERS with more tba.
Friday April 23, 9pm
Queens Head Pub – Banquet Hall
400 Brant Street
Burlington, ON
Check out the facebook event here, and let us know if you can make it.
We’re gonna ask $10 at the door, we’ll do merch-blowouts, and try to come up with some surprises.
If you are interested in coming out and playing a couple songs, or helping out by giving us possible raffle-prizes etc, please reach out to us, we’d love to have you ( provided the bill is not full)
Sincere Thanks from all of us in the Saint Alvia camp.
AND OF COURSE…
Please keep your eyes out for our White Ford E-350 passenger van, plate BM9.827. It was taken from Hamilton Ontario Wednesday April 14th 2010. You can’t miss this beast.
If you see it, don’t approach it or engage anyone near it, just call police 911 and let them know the location.
thanks for your help.
