The indie rock band Derrival is launching its western Canada tour in Kelowna on Saturday at Fleetwood Public House, 2400 Highway 97.
The tour will help promote their new EP ‘Departure & Arrival’, which launched on August 21st. Derrival formed in Vancouver six years ago, and lead singer and rhythm guitarist Adam Mah described them as an indie-rock band combined with European synth-pop elements.
‘Departure & Arrival’ was entirely written by the members of Derrival and took them over one year to complete. Mah explained the main theme of the album is relationships such as the lead track, ‘Shoes Grow Smaller,’ which is about his parents.
This will be Derrival’s second western Canada tour, and they also played in Kelowna last time. Derrival will be playing with local bands at each of their stops, and Mah said they are really looking forward to meeting the other bands and finally getting their tour underway after a lot of preparation.
‘Departure & Arrival’ can be purchased on iTunes, and physical copies will be available at tour locations and on the band’s website.
Derrival is hoping to launch a full-length album sometime in 2016.
