They range in number of Myspace friends and music genres. Some are fans of Disney stars like Demi Lovato. Others are hooked on “The Jersey Shore” and head-banging.
Putting aside these major differences, the six finalists on “Disband” share one goal: to have their careers launched on the show.
If there’s one band who can understand where the contestants are coming from, it’s Stereos. Last season, they walked away from “Disband” with a record deal from Universal and thousands of fans.
“Living in Edmonton, trying to make it as a band and then coming out to Toronto to do the same thing and try and make it was a grind,” said Stereos bassist Dan Johnson at the season two finale. “So I definitely feel where they’re coming from, the nerves and everything backstage.”
Having just wrapped up a national headlining tour, Johnsnon still can’t believe the success Stereos has experienced in such a short amount of time. “I always told the guys that I would make this happen and that you know, we would do it no matter what. But I don’t think any of us knew to the extent of the amount of singles and albums sold,” he shared. “So it definitely surprises us when we see our album going gold,”
Canadian punk rockers Stereos are scheduled to play at the Grey Cup’s pre-game show this year in their hometown of Calgary, reports CHARTattack.com.
The band will perform songs from their self-titled debut album just before kickoff at Calgary’s McMahon Stadium. The event will take place on Nov. 29 at 6:30 p.m. ET, but it is not yet known which two Canadian Football League teams will be playing in this year’s Grey Cup final.
The band Blue Rodeo will play this year’s halftime show.
Stereos, who claimed fame with the help of MuchMusic’s show DisBAND, are currently on tour in support of their first album. You can see them here:
