With a new single on the horizon, the Archers have their sights set on touring.

For the first time the five-man troupe of StellyB次元官网网址檚 secondary graduates, featuring Ethan Caleb, Liam Moes, Sandy Hughes, Robert McMullen, and Liam McLaren has taken their show east of the Mainland on a 10-city tour B次元官网网址� with an eye on building B次元官网网址渢heir soundB次元官网网址� that sets them apart.

B次元官网网址淲e think we have a cool sound going on,B次元官网网址� said drummer Moes. B次元官网网址淲e feel like we have stumbled across something interesting and we hope others feel the same way.B次元官网网址�

They arenB次元官网网址檛 the only ones who believe that B次元官网网址� early in 2011 the band secured top spot in YouThinkB次元官网网址檚 B.C.B次元官网网址檚 Best Teen Band Contest taking home the cash and studio recording time that came with the title. Keeping the ball rolling, they used the studio time to record their newest single Cathedral, the money to finance a tour, and the newfound confidence to propel themselves across B.C. and Alberta.

B次元官网网址淲e pride ourselves on putting on a good live show. We always try to bring good energy and have fun,B次元官网网址� Moes said. B次元官网网址淲e want people to come out to our shows, the more people come out the better we play.B次元官网网址�

Fun comes easier these days. After high school graduation last June, the future was uncertain and potential for members to embark on different paths was very real. Winning the contest reaffirmed their commitment to each other B次元官网网址� and Caleb, one of the bandB次元官网网址檚 founders, believes his choice was an easy one.

B次元官网网址淭he best decision I ever made was to stick around doing what we love,B次元官网网址� Caleb said. B次元官网网址淭hings are happening to us, it is not just a dream anymore. It is something more.B次元官网网址�

When they return from their 10-stop tour, the five hope to focus on creating a new full-length album and refining the sound that is getting them noticed.

B次元官网网址淲e just want to keep what we are doing, and keep playing music we love. Our goal is to keep doing that and not have to paint houses and drywall and insulate,B次元官网网址� Caleb said laughing. B次元官网网址淭he best part of being in the Archers is we get to play music B次元官网网址� We tapped into a sound people seem to be enjoying at all ages. B次元官网网址� If people want to listen and dance and enjoy it in any way B次元官网网址� that is great.B次元官网网址�

The Archers wind up their tour with Mindil Beach Markets on Friday, May 25, at the Off The Grid Festival 2012 at 4 p.m. at Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site, 603 Fort Rodd Hill Rd.
