Tickets on sale Friday, January 17th, 9AM EST at www.8pi.ca - tickets will be $14 advance / $17 at the door. This will be an early show with doors opening at 8PM.

Los Angeles based Islands are touring in support of their new album, "Ski Mask". Produced by principle songwriter Nick Thorburn and bandmate Evan Gordon, Ski Mask is arguably the most sonically diverse album Islands has ever made. From the opener, "Wave Forms," Ski Mask percolates with hooky, left-of-center rock songs that have forever been the band's trade, aside songs that also voice Thorborn's personal frustrations. Songs like "Death Drive" "Nil" and "Of Corpse" balance beautiful melodies against of the darkest lyrical missives that Thorborn has ever written.

"This record is really about being angry," says Thorburn. "For better or worse, this record kind of sums up my experience thus far with being in a band. I feel like we're kind of at a crossroads and this record is kind of me just declaring forfeiture in some ways. Like the third act of a moviejust after it seems like all hope is lost, that's when the big breakthrough moment happens. For Islands, this is us waiting for the breakthrough moment."
