A message to our fans…

Northvia is focusing on recording more music while our drummer, Rob Colclasure, is studying overseas. So, instead of playing the same set in the same places, Northvia is putting together a lot of new material for future releases and shows. We feel good about the writing process, and new sounds are coming from all over the musical spectrum. For seven years, Northvia has written, recorded, and performed as some sort of ‘instrumental post-rock’ group. During that time, the band has always tried to defy convention within the genre. The listener can judge whether we accomplished this. Now, however, it is time to throw off the whole concept of genre. As creative people, the returns gained from working within this genre have gotten progressively smaller. We hope not to infer that we are discounting the music and genre that led us to where we are today. Our only goal at this point is to produce creative music, and creatively we feel compelled to experiment with our sound. We look forward to releasing new and exciting music and hope that you share our enthusiasm.

Thanks Steven

Orange You Glad Fest

Orange You Glad Fest was amazing. We thank you all for making it a great time. Click here for a very great review from The Silent Ballet for our newest EP Venice. We are prepping for our summer tour, check out the dates here. Again, don’t forget to download our new EP, available for free at Lost Children.

Thank you

We would like to thank everyone for attending our show Friday night at Stardust. We will be taking a quick break from live shows, but don’t fret; we will be back in May for the Orange You Glad Fest. Don’t forget to download our new EP, available for free at Lost Children.

Venice: Behind the Mask

A new EP taken from the songs of a documentary we scored is now available through the wonderful net label Lost Children. You can download it for free here or stream it from our Last.fm. Here is the press release:

Inspired by the documentary “Venice: Behind the Mask” by Marco Gentile and Ryan Simon, ‘Venice’ is an attempt to articulate the visual images of Carnival into music. On the surface, Carnival can appear purely driven by entertainment and pleasure. Yet, underneath lie themes of death, rebirth, and social and cultural identity. Northvia explores the darker side of Carnival, hoping to reveal something more behind the mask.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year. Sorry for being away for so long. We are back from break, writing and recording new songs. Shows will shortly follow. For those who would still like a copy of our new record “Pure Magic” you can now download it from ITunes! Or just get a sneak peek at Last.fm. More to come, we promise.
