"The first time I saw the Sea Inside live was in October of last year. I hopped on the bandwagon a little late, as the boys formed the group approximately four and half years ago, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t love them more than anyone else (duh!). Their astounding raw talent never ceases to blow my mind during their live sets, and their lyrics are absolutely phenomenal."

Starting today and continuing everyday until February 5th, the big show day at Revival, we will be featuring one song from the forthcoming, DOS (pronounced with a long "o"). The songs will be featured in the final order that they will be stacked on the disc. Each day, a member of TSI will share their personal thoughts about the track being featured. We are excited about this process and can't believe that we are 12 days away from debuting the disc for our family, friends, and fans at the disc launch. We are enjoying every step of this journey, and are working hard to get used to new phenomena in our live show such as lighting cues, live strings, and Cali playing so hard he is breaking strings. It appears that we are now unapologetically and officially a rock band.

Thanks to all who have already purchased tickets to the show. It is humbling to think that this thing could sell out in advance.

Thanks for sharing this next 12 days with us.

TSI

We have a holiday surprise for you. We have been busy in the studio for the last couple of weeks recording a Christmas favorite.  One of the signatures of our sound is the interesting tom work that Jeff Eden, our drummer, consistently creates.  We never know what to expect and it is always a new twist on rhythm in our work.  For this reason, we thought it appropriate to record Carol of the Drums (Little Drummer Boy) as a 
surprise for everyone.  It will be available here to download very soon.  
All we ask is that you give to, volunteer for, or spread awareness for a charitable organization during this holiday season.  Our choice is Yonge Street Mission at www.ysm.ca.  Spread the good cheer of this season with our version of a holiday classic.  Of course, we put the TSI spin on it.

As you know, our new disc, DOS, is coming.  The launch event for this momentous date is  February 5th at Revival.  Tickets are now on sale here at seainside.ca.  
There are only 500 tickets available.  This is our first all-ages show so we expect the show to sell-out in advance.  Advance ticket purchases are $10.  Tickets are $15 the day of the show.

To all our friends and fans,

This is a big day for us. We are announcing the official release of our disc, DOS (pronounced with a long "o"), on February 9th, 2010. We first went into the studio on September 16th, 2008. We have pretty much been wrestling with it ever since, and we are very confident that we got it right. The disc will be available here at our site.

Additionally, the disc will be available early at our DOS launch on Friday, February 5th at Revival on College. Tickets for this special performance will go on sale at noon on Saturday, December 12th on tsi.fm or at seainside.ca. More ticket locations will be announced as we close in on the on-sale date. For the first time, a TSI headlining show will be an all-ages event. It should be wild. We promise our biggest show yet.

Thanks for all of your support,
Cali, Danny, Jeff, and Piero collectively known as The Sea Inside

Thanks so much to all who attended Helter Shelter on Friday night. We are pleased to announce that $638 was donated directly to the Yonge Street Mission. Admittedly this was short of our goal this year, but it will go far in a year that we weren't planning on holding the benefit. The money donated will provide a holiday meal to over 200 people!

A very special thanks goes out to Algoma String Trio, Ray Melana, and John Roby for volunteering their time and music to the effort. It was an amazing night of music, world-class, as promised.

Please mark your calendars for Helter Shelter 2010 which be held on Friday, November 12th. Our goal next year will be $3862.

Keep coming back here to seainside.ca for updates and for some very exciting TSI news in the coming weeks...
