“The Wind Whistles have the stamina of a Grizzly bear”, wrote one reviewer of their previous album 'Window Sills'. Fittingly enough, The Wind Whistles are coming out with their new thematic full length titled 'Animals are people too'. Because, you know, people are animals. Too?
The beginning of The Wind Whistles can be traced back to early 2006, after Tom and Liza returned from an inspiring voyage overseas. Their original plan was to make a folk duo that could pull the sonic weight of a full band. With Liza on acoustic bass and Tom on acoustic guitar, she would often play the downbeat and he would take care of the backbeat. Adding their alternating and harmonizing voices to the mix, the duo crafted a sound flexible enough to grace festival stages and livingrooms alike. When the Animals arrived however, some things changed...
Tom and Liza have always had a love for heavier music. Tom came from the spazzy noise-punk outfit of 'The Nature of Things' and Liza is currently part of the grunge band 'Bad Fate'. Being on the road with The Wind Whistles six months of the past year, and unable to vent their edgier creative tendencies into other projects, this energy began to seep into their new songs. While songs like 'Turtle' or 'Treehouse Lullaby' provide a solid link to 'Window Sills', 'Animals are people too' is a decidedly less folky record. The 13 song album, which has a handful of songs at just 2 minutes length, burns with a determined focus and plays like a pop-rock album begotten by acoustic instruments. With Animals, The Wind Whistles have opened up their hearts wider than ever and forged a quirky nook for themselves with a style that lacks any direct comparison.
A third album exists. The elusive 'Secret Album' (see below) is available to only the most dedicated fans of the band. Let's not give away any secrets here...
Great to see you last Sunday, thanks for coming to the show even though it was crappy weather. It was a great time, I slept for on the train for 2 days afterwards. haha
Hi & thanks for the add,
We're coming to Vancouver for an outdoor matinee at 2pm on Sunday, October 25th right in the heart of the city! (starts at noon)

There will be homemade perogies, ethically raised pork, home made beer, hot chocolate, and several musical acts, including Acres and Acres, Jon Mckiel, and Klarka Weinwurm (all from Halifax).
I can't wait for this show!

Hi guys,
Just wanted to invite you & your friends to our Vancouver album release show.
Instead of a typical evening show, we were able to organize an outdoor matinee at 2pm on Sunday, October 25th right in the heart of Vancouver!

Hey, thanks for the add. Best of luck to you, and if we're lucky maybe our bands will cross paths one day. If you ever need an opening act that will do it for free purely for exposure, we are them. Or hell, if you'd be down to ever just setting up a show together give us a shout.
Thanks again, and we hope to hear from you, -Raise Your Kids Well
