Calvin CD Release Party 5/14

Calvin's highly anticipated debut album is coming out this May, and we are celebrating the release at The End on May 14th in Nashville, TN. This is the show of shows for the Calvin crew, and we need the support of our hometown to make this a night that Nashville will never forget.

An orgy of shrill psychedelic guitar leads, heavy synth, playful rhythms, and indie pop elements make up Calvin's clean and dreamy rock soundscape.

Guitarist/vocalist Cory Johnson and bassist David Woods created Calvin in 2008. Cory and David began songwriting which quickly morphed into a shared vision of potentiality. This vision coalesced when writers/musicians Kurt Whitehill, Kevin Ferriman, and Billy Prosise were added to the mix thus propelling Calvin into an extremely diverse rock line-up.

“Calvin’s sound possessed all the brio of indie pop, even as it wandered into dark, synthy corners to brood.”
- Jessica Pace of The Deli Nashville

This Saturday in the Boro

This Saturday Calvin will be performing at The Boro in Murfreesboro, TN. It is Calvin's first show since their hypnotic performance at The End in Nashville last November. Calvin is coming out of the studio with new material and is more energetic and enthused than ever before.

In addition, Calvin's close friends, The Dead Towns, will be lighting fire to the stage as well. The Dead Towns bring a mixture of chanted vocals, haunted synth, tasteful guitar licks, and a pulsing rhythm section while never forgetting their TN roots.

Lastly, Justin Webb of Nashville's rock staples, We Were the States, is going to be performing with his side project called The Pleasers.

Calvin will be getting this party started at 9pm on Saturday 4/30.
1211 Greenland Dr. Murfreesboro, TN.

Rutledge Show and More

Yoyoyoyo! what up everyone. I just wanted to hit everyone with a little info. Calvin is playing w/The Temangerines tomorrow night at the Rutledge off 4th in Nashville. We're going to get the show started at about 8pm, so it shouldn't keep anyone up too late on a weekday night. Don't miss it!

Also, The Temagerines have a show at Springwater on August 6th, and Calvin has a another show coming up at the Basement on August 10th. Both shows are in Nashville.

In the next couple of days Calvin will be revealing a song or two for everyone to be able to listen to from the recordings we have been working on. The album is still a little ways out, but we really want to get a couple of the jams out to everyone. So, keep your eyes peeled and check Calvin's facebook page periodically this week to see when we put them up.

Hope to see some faces out tomorrow night!

ahhhh what up?!?

I just wanted to hit everybody with a few things that are going on at the moment for Calvin. We are taking this week to do a lot of rehearsing for our show at the Rutledge in Nashville on July 28th, and knocking out the drums for our debut album later this week. We will then be very close to enter the mixing phase. I am so pumped for everyone to hear it!

Also, some of the members of Calvin are going to be at the Liars show at Exit/In tomorrow night. Anyone is more than welcome to come kick it with us and watch an awesome show!

So yeah, that's about it for this week's blog! Remember, we are playing a show at the Rutledge on July 28th with The Temangerines, Kat Smo and The Dead Towns.
