In between playing with such acts as Face to Face, the Dickies, the Weakerthans, Chixdiggit and the UK Subs, Billy and the Lost Boys have been developing a reputation for being one of Canada’s hardest working independent acts.
Amidst their relentless touring schedule, this female fronted power trio have won the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands for a place on the Vans Warped Tour, four of the Georgia Straight Readers Choice Awards (Best Album, Best Band, Best Guitarist and Best Drummer), secured the number 1 and number 2 slots on Exclaim Magazine’s Earshot Loud Charts, made appearances on Much Music’s Going Coastal and MTV Canada’s 969, and spent 13 weeks in medium rotation on MTV2 with their music video for the song “You Get What Everyone Gets (You Get A Lifetime)”. Their music was used in shows like Joan of Arcadia, Radio Free Roscoe, Degrassi and the Collector, and you could even see their video in American Eagle, Vans and West49 outlets.
So how does such a young band accomplish so much in so little time? It’s simple: “We realized a long time ago that no one’s going to save us…this is our life, and we have a responsibility to make it as awesome as possible!”
