Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band

[Frederik.Sjölund]

Have anyone else ever heard these guys?
They are called "Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band" and they are from Canada.
I first got introduced to them when i was living in Amsterdam and some friends from work were going to see their concert in Haarlem.
They play something that they call "Post Rock". I really recommend anyone to check them out, they are really great. They are at their best when they perform live.
They have such a big group of people and a great number of various instruments. Ranging from electric guitar to cello, doubble-bass, violins, piano, drums.. and ofcorse singing.

Has anyone of you heard of them? If you haven't, check them out.

Hmm, the name is vaguely familiar. The most recent stuff from Canada that I`ve been listening to is the group Billy Talent (fav song- Nothing To Lose) and post-rock-wise I`ve been checking out Godspeed You! Black Emperor...

I will definitely check out your suggestion.

 

[Frederik.Sjölund]

Yeah do so. The song that got me hooked on them in the first place is called "God Bless our Dead Marines"

Interesting; the two groups share some of the same musicians...

 

[The Emperor]

i've heard the first 2 albums of them, good stuff, but not as good as godspeed.
still got to check the latest albums out.

I ordered Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yangui UXO and recieved it yesterday. I must say its awesome.
I heard that its pretty much the same people as in Silver mt Zion..
Great stuff though, can't wait until next paycheck. At that point, i will order more of them
