The Sunparlour Players started playing in spring of 2005 after Andrew
recorded a small EP ("Mersea") based on the rural county he grew up in
south of the Detroit/Windsor border. They then released another small
live EP ("Alive At The Tranzac") later in 2005. Then they played a lot
more.
In 2007 they released their critically acclaimed "Hymns For
The Happy" (Outside Music). "Hymns For The Happy" was recorded in many
different plac...es
all over Southwestern Ontario. Engineered by Andy Magoffin @ The House
of Miracles. "One of the ways Sunparlour Players succeeds on the new
record is the band's intense creativity. This is heard in juxtapositions
between the rawkus stomp and yowls found on John Had a Bell and a
Whistle and the elegiac orchestrations and vocals of If the Creeks Don't
Rise. The Players seem to be constantly evolving as their history comes
from equal parts old country and old punk." (Ottawa XPress). "If AC/DC
guest-starred on "Little House on the Prairie" (Maclean's). They were
very happy with this album and it seemed that other people were too.
They toured a lot then.
In 2009 the Sunparlour Players released
"Wave North" (Outside Music). Recorded at Blue Rodeo’s Woodshed Studio
and the Fembots Junkshop with choir and horns recorded at Toronto’s
Factory Theatre. Aided by celebrated producer Jeremy Backofen (Felice
Brothers, Frightened Rabbit) who gave them a definitive approach to the
recording of the album. "Wave North" was also critically acclaimed. "it
will shock fans both old and new and shatter most of the easy jump off
points reviewers search for. Sure, the elements are the same – banjo,
guitar, kick drums, Penner’s unique vocal range – but they all sound
bigger and more important" (Herohill) "this reflects a band just coming
into its own, yet simultaneously sounding extremely confident in
embracing the process. And it’s just serene — an ebullient and enigmatic
album" (FFWD) Harnessing their personal storytelling with a bigger
sound they created an album rooted in both conflict and joy.
Known
for their intense celebration of a live show ("a must see!!" - CBC 3)
the Sunparlour Players continue to bring their unique sound to the
masses. Come out and see for yourself.
