We will be living in a yellow submarine

Getting road ready as a band is quite a blast. Van & trailer, check. Hard shell cases, check. Gigs, check. Good people, check. We are heading down to Florida the 3rd week in May for what is lining up to be quite the tour. We recently acquired our very own beast of a van, dubbed the Yellow Submarine for now.



A few weekends ago we had the pleasure of playing at the Sugarloaf Reggae Festival. Two brunch time sets and a ton of fresh snow, in APRIL! For those of us in the band who get our jollies out skiing and riding, this was quite the weekend. Now that the album is off to LionFox for mastering, we have had time to get back in the old jam room to rehearse and write. Be prepared for an onslaught of new tunes, dubs, and some select covers. We are PUMPED to be spreading our music to the country this summer.

Be on the lookout for our new album, "Soldiers of Sound". It is dropping May 15th and really reflects a great period of creativity for iLa. You will soon be able to download a free track off the album via our new PR rep, Herbivore Publicity. We're excited to be working with Herbivore as they work with some great bands.

Check back often for music, life, and tour updates. Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace.

Peace & Love,

iLa

iLa on Tour, new album 5/15!




The winter seems to be finally winding down, we have been very busy, holed up in the studio and playing shows all over New England. With the summer approaching, we are embarking on our first tour outside the east coast.



iLa is hitting the road starting in May. We'll be hitting up Florida, Texas, Arizona, California and many other spots along the way. This tour is in support of our first debut album, "Soldiers of Sound" featuring 12 of our newest tunes. We are very happy and excited about this album and tour, believing more than ever that we are on the right path. Come check us out in a city near you...
