2008 was a dizzying blur of firsts and foremosts for SF based BLVD. While whipping up crowds across the US with their fresh urban sounds this four-piece has positioned itself as a new champion of the burgeoning live electronic movement. The fallout of BLVD's blitz on premier west coast festivals in '08 (High Sierra, Earthdance, Joshua Tree, LIB, Shambhala, etc) lead to several licensing deals with conglomerates such as Victoria Secret, AOL, CBS, MTV and more. The band dropped its full length release (Music for People) last summer and toured heavily as the album garnered critical acclaim and remained in the top 40 on CMJ charts for 6 weeks. The release also got BLVD named to the "Hot 100 Unsigned Artists" of 2008 by Music Connection Magazine. The group topped the year off with a show stealing set at Sea of Dreams, the largest indoor NYE event in the US, alongside Thievery Corporation and Bassnectar.

2009 is expected to be an equally exciting year for this scene setting collaboration. They’re currently in the studio with well known producer Jeff Saltzman (The Killers, Fischerspooner, Two Gallants, The Sounds) crafting their follow up to 08’s Music For People and a spring tour will take them up the west coast, east to Hampton, VA for a Phish after show, and to the SXSW Festival in Austin. The tour ends with a string of dates alongside Lotus as they stop at the premier theaters in the North East.

BLVD's genre bending, life affirming music inspires a frenzy on the dance floor that rings in the ears and minds of its audience long after the party is over. Few bands can provoke the kind of electric atmosphere that BLVD has at its shows. This unconventional mixture of hip-hop vocals, rock guitars, street beats, and sub woofing bass is enough to galvanize and convert any crowd into a devoted fan base.

BLVD will be lighting up the Great American Music Hall on Friday, March 13th with special guests Break Science feat Adam Deitch and The Flying Skulls, click here for tickets.
