A local Edmonton band that is quickly on the rise played their second headliner show in north Edmonton Saturday night.
Drown Her In The Massacre, or DHITM for short, a band comprised of Talon Calahaisen, Travis Flipsen, Joe Lerman, Corey Sanders and Paul Knelson, played a headlining show at Avenue Theater located on 118th Ave and 90th street on April 17th. The crowd’s reaction to the band was great, and despite many setbacks, the band continues to gain notoriety.
“Our first show was at the Taphouse with Awkward Silence, and that was on March 21st, and that was pretty good. This show blew our last outing away in many aspects, and we’re hoping that this is only the beginning,” said Talon Calahaisen, one of the band's guitarists.
“Drown Her In The Massacre definitely kicked ass,” said Desmond Reyko, one of the band’s many fans that came out in support of the band. “I can’t wait to see their next show, and where they’ll go as a band.”
The band successfully played its show on Saturday night, and is already looking ahead to the future, despite what may not be the best circumstances for a band trying to break out on the music scene.
“We practice in a five and a half foot tall basement, our guitarist is missing fairly often, and our equipment holds us back sometimes,” said Travis Flipsen, the bands lead singer. “We don’t have nearly as much to work with as other bands do, but we make it happen with what we have.”
And make it happen they do. The band, despite only being together for six months, already has three shows lined up throughout Alberta in the month of May alone.
“We have a show in Calgary, a show with All Else Fails on May 15th, and another outdoor music festival out by Lac La Biche May 29th,” said Calahaisen of DHITM's upcoming shows.
And the band doesn’t want to stop there. They’re also looking at trying out for one of North America’s biggest metal tours next year.
“Our biggest goal is to try out for the Vans Warped Tour next summer. That’s the dream,” said Flipsen.
Drown Her In The Massacre will play their next show at the Taphouse, located in St. Albert, with All Else Fails on May 15th.
