Converse Rubber Tracks Live brings The Orwells to Vancouver on November 13

Following a couple stints providing fully supported recording sessions to local bands in our fair city, Converse Rubber Tracks will be returning to Vancouver on their eight-city national live tour with The Orwells. Support for the Vancouver leg will be coming from local band and Converse Rubber Tracks alumni, BESTiE, and the show will also be free to attend with registration.

The Orwells emerged from their Chicago suburb as five high schoolers in 2011 – frontman Mario Cuomo; guitarist Dominic Corso; bassist Grant Brinner and drummer Henry Brinner. Since the band’s inception, they’ve released two EPs – “Other Voices” and “Who Needs You” – as well as two full-length albums to critical acclaim, including “Remember When” in 2012 and “Disgraceland” in 2014.
