Dri Hiev Announces "ContraVirtual" EP, Tour Dates

Calgary, AB’s blasphemous noise quartet Dri Hiev is releasing the "ContraVirtual" EP and touring across Canada starting in September.

The EP is slated to be released the same day as the kickoff to a cross Canadian tour in the band's hometown of Calgary, Sept. 23 at Bamboo Tiki Room. A stream of the song "Good Shirt" can also be heard below.

Guitarist and drum machine musician Dan Auger had this to say about the album’s release: "Last year we lost our drummer and released an EP. By the time that EP was released we had become a different band and that music became irrelevant. We spent the next eight months writing and trying to re-evaluate what we wanted to do as a band. ‘ContraVirtual’ is the result of those eight months. It represents where we are and where we're going."
