Poor neglected Square Waves website! We have stuff on our Facebook site and a Muxtape site in case you thought we weren't doing anything at all anymore.
We have recorded several new songs over the last few months but haven't been playing live for awhile. Going to be changing that soon. Check out some of the new tracks at the sites I just mentioned, including Yr Better Off Chemicals and Only 1. We also recorded a cover that we'll put up somewhere real soon...a Square Waves take on a recent indie folk-downer.
Seen above you can see our recently acquired Roland sample pad which looks nice with the Vectrex arcade machine. Hardware!

Lots going on. Sort have neglected this site, what with all our other sites like Facebook and Myspace.
We are very excited to be playing Sled Island this year, in just a few days on Wednesday June 30! We play at the Marquee at 10:30PM, follwed by Piper Davis and Lesbians on Ecstasy.
For the festival we have recorded a special 6 song EP at the Mammoth Cave. This is the first time we've ever done a recording with the actual band playing. The songs are all from the Peace For Bombs EP which was released early this year; a side project of Jeff. We'll be included download codes for the EP with copies of our 12" record for sale!
You can buy our new record at the Wowbam Records store! You can also buy the MP3 version on iTunes, Amazon, and various other sites.
Speaking of the band, the band now includes the great Antonio Zucco on bass, as Ryan has departed out east to Ottawa, hopefully to start a new band.
Hope to see you at Sled Island!

We have our records! A few nights ago a team of local music celebrities piled together and helped stuff and bag them all, and they look great. Gotta Groove Records did an amazing job, check them out for your record pressing needs.
Where do you buy it? Our label Wowbam Records has set up a little online store! And soon there will be tons of online and offline places to pick it up. Who said we weren't prepared for this? Ball dropped!
Stay tuned for more info.
Oh and follow us on Twitter for up to date news!

Did I mention we're making a record? No? Well we received the test pressings for it today! So it's real...
The record is a 12" 45RPM EP with 6 songs. We used Gotta Groove Records to press it, a new place out of Cleveland Ohio, and the record sounds hot. Hopefully we'll have the real deal by the end of the year, and then we'll figure out what to do with them. Sell them? Yes! We'll have more info on the record here soon.
Although we took a rest for a few months, we have a show December 18, which is today, at GCBC (upstairs of the Henotic). This is the Henotic's 1st anniversary, and cover is $10 or $7 with an item for the Food Bank. This show is going to be a lot different for us. Special guest stars, and a new instrument line-up. Drums! Real drums!
Come out and see us! 2010 is going to be a good year...

We are playing two shows early this September, both opening for Immaculate Machine. Check it out Friday September 4th at Broken City in Calgary (also featuring Lightning Dust!), or Tuesday September 8th for some back to school fun at Henotic in Lethbridge. We have Kent Aardse of Endangered Ape fame filling in on keys/guitar for the Calgary show. Also some, believe it or not, real drums will make an appearance for a song. What's the world coming to?
See you there!

The Square Waves band will be regrouping this fall after a break. Check out our last.fm page which has some tracks. CDs will be going out soon to campus radio. The 7" is still in the cards. Songs are complete. Also a site redesign!

[November 18, 2007]
Working hard on new songs. One is complete, another almost, another almost almost. We have funds to produce a 7" and we will be doing that shortly. We have our A side and need a B side. Hoping one of these new songs becomes that. It will be good.

You can see a video of one of the songs from our last show. Was my guitar in tune? Since it proved a success, we decided to play again in November. We will be at Broken City in Calgary on November 1st for the monthly RAMP show. The theme is the Mexican Day of the Dead. What does this mean for the Square Waves? Who knows. Something insane.
In other cool news, our song All That's Left is on the current CBC Radio3 Podcast (#122). You can download the whole thing in MP3 form, we are toward the end. As far as Podcasts go, this is one of the best, so, well, nice!
Did I mention our new 5 song CD? It is a mini-cd, which means you probably can't play it in your laptop. Think of it as a challenge. It looks like this:
We made 100 copies and if you want your very own come to a show or email us. Each one is handmade with a unique fragment of circuit board on the front, lovingly assembled by The Square Waves band.

The Square Waves band is practicing again, including 2 new songs. I have recorded another song since last update, called "Burn The Bridges To The Shores". Also nearly done another song titled "The Sum", along with yet one more which is currently in demo form called "Lights Die Out".
The reason for the practicing is a show on April 21, opening for Azeda Booth, at the Tongue n Groove in Lethbridge. Come out and see what we've learned since last time.

Shows probably not starting in March, but probably late spring. Or maybe the live show is a summer only event? We will get something happening. There is a new song available in the usual places, this one is called "All That's Left". Check out the music page.
The Square Waves recently spent a couple of weeks on the CJSR charts (Edmonton). Thank you for the airplay!
I am currently putting all my free time into writing new songs, with the goal of having something shiny by Fall.

[MARCH 15 2005]
There are now five songs on NMC. Check out Infinite Loop (Number One Fan) and The Few.
I have been considering doing a live Square Waves. One experiment worked well, so I'll continue working on it and maybe someday you can see the Square Waves in an abandoned box factory near you.
A photo exists on Photo page. New Square Waves in the works.
