About Me

MYSPACE EXCLUSIVE!
Listen to the new song Surreal featuring Jeff Martin (Tea Party) Only for our myspace friends!

High Holy Days formed in the rock culture of North Bay, Ontario Canada. Lead singer Marc Arcand started the band in the year 2003. With regional success, the band was signed to RoadRunner Records/Universal Music for the release of High Holy Days/All My Real Friends. The album enjoyed success with two Much Music/MTV Canada video releases and a top ten single in Canada. Their second single also found it's way onto British and American airwaves.
The band toured Canada for over a year in support of the album, before taking time off to build a tracking studio, and record demos for a followup album.
After over a year off, dedicated to writing and recording demos, as well as membership changes, the band was ready to get back on tour and road-test their new material. In the late summer of 2005, Marc Arcand, Dave Thompson, Brian Bird and Chris Amey embarked on their first international tour, England and Wales, playing colleges, universities and clubs dates for three months leading up to winter of 2005
In early 2006 the band began recording their second album in the English country-side of Wigan England with producer John Kettle, returning to Canada to co-produce with renowned mixer/ engineer Richard Chycki. The album is over two years in the making and reflects the evolution of the sound and musical inspiration behind High Holy Days. It will be released in the late fall of 2006.
