The Steadies

Ready Steady For An Exciting 2019!

Fresh off their worldwide publicity from performing with Riverdale star KJ Apa, The Steadies rode that momentum right into the recording studio, new photoshoot by Honey Creative and are ready for what could be a big 2019!

In The Studio Recording The New Album!

The boys have been working on new music this past year and finally headed into the studio in January and February to record their 11-song upcoming third full-length album set to be released in Summer 2019!!

 Archie & The Steadies on TMZ??! The Band Just Broke The Internet!

The big break for the band may have just happened! The star of Netflixx's massive show Riverdale, KJ Apa (who portrays the iconic Archie Andrews) brought the cast of the show to see The Steadies in Vancouver at the famous Guilt & Company and then joined the band for an insane performance that blew the roof off of the joint! Apa later posted a video on his Instagram account to his 14 million followers and it immediately went viral with over 1 million views (which is the equivalent for 100 million Youtube views). The Steadies were soon the talk of the internet as they were featured on TMZ (yes that tmz), Hollywood.com, Metro UK, CBC, Stuff New Zealand putting the boys on the map in a bigtime way! Apa might even be a special guest on the new Steadies album they are about to begin recording, which would be MASSIVE!

After a mutual close friend of the band put us in touch, the group clicked instantly and have already performed a half dozen shows together. Jesse's excitement for being a part of The Steadies has him moving to the band's headquarters in Saskatoon SK and the boys are getting ready to go to Europe shortly after in October. They have even been working on new material with Jesse being a key contributor with his creative skills and improvisation due to his jazz background.

Ready Steady For A Sizzlin' Summer Tour!

After a much deserved break the band is back and ready for their favourite time of year with a 30-date tour performing at festivals, clubs, and boat parties across Canada from Ucluelet B.C. to Montreal QC! The boys have been working on new music and will be showcasing some brand new island-rockin' songs including an emotional tribute to their brother and original guitarist Justin "Juice" Lee entitled Not The End. Brother Alex Varughese, who has been filling in on guitar will also be playing his last shows while the band searches for their permanent band member. So make sure to check the tour dates, spread the steadie love and come to a show near you! 

We Lost Our Brother & Guitarist But His Spirit Will Live With Us Always. R.I.P Justin "Juice" Lee

On July 25th 2017, our brother and band mate Justin Lee, better known as "Juice", shockingly and sadly passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm. A beautiful memorial at Wanuskewin Heritage Park in Saskatoon SK was held and saw Justin's family from Trinidad and Montreal, many members of the local music community in attendance, as well as, performed in honour of the Juice. Reeling from this catastrophic loss, the remaining band members frontman Earl Pereira and drummer Kurtis Schultz, with the blessing from Justin's family, proceeded to honour the summer and fall tour dates that were booked as a tribute. The tour was 30 shows spanning across Canada from Tofino to Montreal and was aptly named the "For Juice With Love Tour". It was a very emotional but cathartic time for the band and their fans and supporters and took a lot of strength and courage and help from The Steadies extended musical family as brothers Al Peterson (aka Origami Army), Sean Viloria, and Alex Varughese joined them to help spread the love. There is so much to be said about this special person who touched so many, but the best showing of the effect he had was the outpouring of love and support from all over the world while galvanizing the local Saskatoon music community. CBC, Global, CTV, Star Phoenix, multiple international radio stations and media all gave tribute to our brother Juice, and the number of heartfelt social media posts and comments was off the charts. Justin will be deeply missed but his special energy and spirit will be with us always, and will live on through the music and sound he helped create. We love you so much Juice, rest in paradise

Steadies in the Studio!
After spending nearly 9 months on pre-production for the new music, the Saskatoon island-rockers treated themselves to studio time at the world class OCL Studios just outside of Calgary AB. Their first attempt to record at  there earlier in the summer failed to due a terrible storm which caused major power outages in the area. However, this time, the determined group would not be denied!. It only took the power trio a day and a half  to record their upcoming EP thanks to going old-school and having all of the songs honed in so well that they could perform them live off the floor one after another. The end result is going to be the best Steadies music ever so stay tuned for a mid Fall 2015 release!
