Hello friends! So this summer has been going by so so quickly and we here in the traveling dirt-bag circus otherwise known as Acres Of Lions have been having the time of our lives playing all these crazy summer festivals! We would personally like to thank all of you friends and festival-goers for coming out to see our sunny, sweaty sets these past couple of months… Seriously, Warped Tour in Toronto, Keloha in Kelowna, Rock The Shores, Rock Of The Woods on Vancouver Island… we had such a blast and some life-changing experiences at these events as a band… I mean COME ON, Jimmy Eat World, Weezer, Mathew Good, City And Colour… we had the distinct pleasure of sharing the stage with these acts, bands that we’ve looked up to >> read more

Just a quick and friendly reminder that we will be performing at the Keloha 2013 after-party this evening at Doc Willoughby’s in Kelowna! The after-party will be firing up around 11:00 pm, but make sure to come early to hang and pack the place out for The Treble, a fantastic band who we will be sharing the stage with this evening. This will probably be our billionth time playing at Doc’s but hey, each time is more cherished and memorable than the last. Let’s get sweaty and punk rock all up in everybody’s face! Did we ever mention how into The Arkells we are? Well, we saw them perform at the Island Stage last night and were completely blown away by them, once again… I mean, a terrific Jackson 5 >> read more

We flew out of Kelowna BC Tuesday night and are currently in Toronto, awaiting our performance at this year’s Toronto date of the Vans Warped Tour! We are very excited to be a part of this in 2013 and we’d be lying if we said this wasn’t a fulfillment of a few childhood aspirations! The festival begins today at 11:00 am at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre and we will be performing on the “Kevin Says” stage this afternoon… there will be more details on the exact time we will be performing at later this morning so make sure to be frequently checking our social media, our TWITTER and our FACEBOOK, to find out and keep up with what is going on throughout the day! We will be live-tweeting the events >> read more

Happy Canada Day, once again everyone! On Monday night (July 1st 2013) we had the overwhelming pleasure of participating in Victoria BC’s Canada Day Celebration on the inner harbour and the privilege of sharing a beautiful stage erected on the Legislature Lawn with the likes of The Odds, Hey Ocean, Kathryn Calder, Caracol (From Montreal) and so many more we would like to name but would run out of room and make this run-on sentence run on longer than it had to see what I just did there? Part of the privilege was the chance to perform in front of all you beautiful people who attended the celebration by the thousands in a bright, sunny, outdoor setting… we can’t thank you all enough for showing your support at this event, >> read more
