Rockanagan Featured band of the day – The Rights (Vancouver – rock)
Friday night @ The Grateful Fed

The Rights story truly begins on a warm summer day in June of 2006. This is where Trav, Lenny and Paul started working on the bands first demo recordings titled Side A. Side A was recorded at Paul’s home studio on an old 8-track reel to reel machine. After finishing the demos Trav had taken them to old friend and fame producer Jason “Juice” Evjen. Asking Juice if he would like to produce and re-record The Rights Side A at his studio JMP in Vancouver, B.C. Agreeing the lads headed off to Van to start work on the new Ep, which they titled Packing Your Suitcase.

The Gigs are filled with loud thundering bass, fuzzy tone guitar and big back beats pushing the air with loads with energy. The Rights love to jam on stage. There is a start and an end of a song but how they get there is the adventure. They always leave the audience wanting more. Sometimes you can hear them play covers like In The Midnight Hour, Summertime Blues, and Purple Haze.
