But now that our  brother John is back from Finland, every where Clara goes, John goes:

And while we’re at it, what other siblings do we have in Utah at the  moment? Oh yeah, just one, Annie:

So with all of that in mind, and in support of our new album coming Feb 27th, we’re pleased to extend a warm “welcome, welcome” to John and Annie, making Les Sages a band of 7 siblings (and that’s still not all of us). We’re pretty excited to start integrating them into the band.

Are you “a sucker for anything acoustic”? Our friends over at AlternativNews.com just put out a completely free acoustic compilation. Our contribution to the comp is an acoustic version of Action that will be on our acoustic LP due out next month (we’re recording right now). This is just one way we thought we could show you how much we love you, but you’ll probably never comprehend how much.

We are playing a benefit show on Feb 11th @ 8:30pm (UPDATE: it’s at 7pm!) with Imagine Dragons to raise funds for Nick Moore’s eye surgery. DJ / Dance after the bands play. Raffles (win stuff). $12 advance / $15 at the door. Come have a good time supporting a good cause. More info on Nick and the event from the facebook event page:

Help fight for Nick’s Eyes with a most AWESOME fundraiser! Rock out with Les Sages & Imagine Dragons, enter in for raffle tickets, dance the night away with DJ’s spinning it up, and more! All starting February 11th at 8:30 PM 7:00 PM.

Nick Moore is a 24-year-old Provo resident that was losing his eyesight from a disease called Keratoconus. The surgery he needed was not approved by the FDA, so he chose to go with the procedure, leaving him with a steep medical bill.

This concert and party is to raise money for his medical bills that helped stop the degeneration and help restore some of the sight he had lost.

Question? Leave ‘em in the comments.

Hey! Check it out, “Share This” is one of this weeks picks on wearepanel.com! Tyler Hayes of thealbumproject.net is this weeks guest panelist, so Thank you Tyler for helping to share our music with the world! This is what he had to say about the album:

Les Sages is four brothers who share the vocal responsibilities equally enough that no one person is thought of as the lead singer. “Share This” is quite an album for a band that came out of nowhere, only recently signing with Deep Elm Records. The album has a pop/punk flavor, but, gladly, it lacks the poppy-ness that plagues so many other albums of this genre. Rather, “Share This” feels closer to an indie/rock hybrid. Listen to “Nomads.” This is a good example of how most of the tracks employ controlled passion, explosive without going into too-grand territory.

Thanks again Tyler.

I found myself gravitating toward music with heavy messages this year, and Share This is one of the most lyrically intense albums on my list. Share This explores the concepts of life, death, love, loss, and friendship against a backdrop of emotive rock music. Though melancholy at times, the vocals invite you to sing your lungs out and the riffing guitars and pummeling drums will make you want to headbang hard.
