Day 26: The Arkanes | #HITSBC15

 

Hey guys!

So a few things changed during you guys were watching the countdown. There were meant to be 27 performances but due to some unforeseen reasons, day 26 will be the last one.
We still have two very special videos coming up though, so the official end of our party is still February 28th.

What is the Birthday Countdown though? Throughout the entire month of February, one artist/one band a day is going to wish house in the sand a happy birthday and then perform a song exclusively for us.

For this last performance we're having The Arkanes to celebrate with us.

The Arkanes are a quartet from Liverpool, UK.

The rock band seems to be taking over the world step by step. With an EP out ("Don't Act Like You Don't Know Me") they've already built a loyal and world wide fanbase. Debut album "W.A.R" took everything to another level - the first single off of it "Sharpshooter" even made its way into the top 20 of the German rock charts.

The Arkanes are:
Chris Pate (lead vocals, guitar)

Dylan Cassin (backing vocals, lead guitar)

Jake Hallam (backing vocals, bass)

Andy Long (drums)

2014 was a busy year for the Liverpudlians; they released their album, went a little lineup change and toured with Monster Truck, The Rifles, Blues Pills and The Temperance Movement.

Next month the lads will be playing their first headline tour in Germany.


It's no secret the band is one of the most featured bands on house in the sand. I'm happy to call this talented lot good friends of mine and couldn't be more excited to share their performance of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" with you.

Yeah, even though I've probably spammed them with thank yous, I'll just do it one more time: thank you Kanesies for your support and for almost always doing what I tell you to do. ;) I'll see you soon! 

Please go ahead and share this performance with your friends by using the hashtag #HITSBC15.
