Girl From The Ivory Coast by Fiance

It's always such a cool feeling when you are playing with other musicians and they pull out this part that gets you amped and inspires you to do something great. That's how it was the first few times we played together. It just worked on a lot of levels." After several months of writing additional material and auditioning drummers, Fiancé met up with Chris Sturniolo (drums) and the line-up was complete.

Fiancé recently released their debut EP titled 'Girl From the Ivory Coast.' With upbeat and pop-infused melodies of songs like 'Something Blue' to the slow building intensity of others like the title track 'Girl From the Ivory Coast' the EP spans the full spectrum of what Fiancé's music is all about. The band has also been quickly building fan base by playing live shows not only in their native Colorado, but regionally in surrounding states including Utah, New Mexico, and as far east as Iowa and Wisconsin. In 2007, Fiancé was hand selected by a panel of CMJ judges to perform on the Virgin College Mega Tour (Talib Kweli, Sugarcult, William Tell). They have shared the stage with many nationally touring acts including Golden Arm Trio, Minmae, & Four Fifty One at venues on the forefront of the underground scene such as The Hi-Dive, and The Larimer Lounge. Fiancé was also recently asked to perform in 97.3FM KBCO’s Studio C (a Boulder, CO radio station made famous by performances from artists ranging from Dave Matthews Band to Coldplay).

Even though Fiancé is hard at work supporting 'Girl From the Ivory Coast' with live shows, the band has also found time to write new material and begin recording a follow up EP. “We learned a lot recording ‘Ivory Coast’” Patrick says. “I’m really proud of what we did with that recording. But I am so excited about our new material. We’ve been through this process as a band once before, and this next album is going to be that much better because of it.” The band hopes to release the follow up EP as soon as the end of 2007.
