TILES To Release Live Album

September 28, 2009

Michigan-based progressive rock band TILES will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the international release of its self-titled debut CD next year by issuing a live record. According to the group, the set will most likely be "just a self-released, limited-edition" CD, available through the official TILES web site (and possibly at least one digital service provider).

TILES is currently working on material for the follow-up to last year's "Fly Paper". "In addition to the fifteen songs already sketched out is the resurrection of 'Destiny Undelivered', a 25-minute song cycle left over from the 'Window Dressing' [2004] era," the band says. "We'll be auditioning these new tunes as we continue to play throughout the Detroit area in the coming months."

The season premier of A&E's "Parking Wars" will feature a small bit of the TILES song "Static" (from 1999's "Presents Of Mind"). The episode will first air Tuesday, October 6 at 10:00 p.m. EST.

"Sacred & Mundane", the latest video from band TILES, can be viewed below..

Says the band: "Although 'Sacred & Mundane' features RUSH's Alex Lifeson on a host of guitars, he only makes a fleeting two-dimensional appearance in the video in the guise of his alter ego 'Victor' ...just for fun."

"Sacred & Mundane" comes off "Fly Paper", which came out in January 2008 via InsideOut Music.

"Fly Paper" was produced by Terry Brown (RUSH, FATES WARNING, VOIVOD) and features additional guest appearances by Sonya Mastick (percussion),Matthew Parmenter (keyboards/vocals) and Nate Mills (vocals).
