| Sebastion, Remington, and Emerson Are Palaye Royale |
The band Palaye Royale has me
so hooked that I listen to ‘Boom Boom Room (Side A)’ every single day now and yesterday
joined their street team promotional Facebook group known as the Royal Council.
Since I already shared their (awesome) official video for 'Mr. Doctor Man', I’ve
provided links to one of their fun little promotional clips and an impromptu acoustic
performance below.
For
those of you who cannot watch videos due to a lack of time, your employer’s
permission, data capacity (sorry, my cynical sailor’s sidekick ~hugs~), or what
have you, let me tell you a little about the boys.
Emerson,
Remington, and Sebastion are three brothers born in Canada
and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada USA.
Palaye Royale is pronounced 'pal-ay roy-al'. They took that name from the dance hall in Toronto where their grandparents met.
(Isn’t
that sweet? I adore origin stories like this.)
Their
album’s sound has classic rock influences with a punk sensibility and (I think)
a hint of rockabilly. The ‘Side A’ in the title comes from the fact the
brothers first intended to release thirty songs, believe it or not. Lucky for
us, ‘Side B’ should be out by year’s end.
Not
only is their music great, their fashion sense is awesome. And I have to say
that Remington’s smoky voice really shines in the acoustic version of ‘Ma
Chérie’.
Now I just need to convince their tour manager to book a gig or two at Cincinnati Ohio’s 20th Century Theater. Built in 1941, the building’s Neoclassical Moderne architecture was made for their fashion-art rock style. The venue’s fabulous sound and intimate space are amazing, too.

Do you think I can convince
them to play a four hundred person capacity theater? I mean, heck, if they'll play in an equipment trailer, why not?
I bet if you had the right angle to get something to go viral, you could convince them. Perhaps do a YouTube video with a bunch of fans. You might have to get creative, but I figure it's doable.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I like it! Thank you, my dear.
DeleteYes, of course its doable. You can make it go viral.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the nerve. ~grin~ Thanks!
DeleteThat is a sweet story of how they got their name.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you agree. You're a dear. Be well!
DeleteWell, this is interesting. I am going to have to check them out. Thanks! ❤
ReplyDeleteYou made my day, Annie. I hope the rescue minions are thriving as I imagine. ~hugs~ You rock.
