About The Gathering BC
Originally formed in 1985 from the ashes of Vancouver New Wave band A Cast ofThousands, Gary Economy, Jeff Pawson, Peter Burns and a Korg drum machine became The Gathering. Inspired by such bands as The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Killing Joke they began playing live at some of Vancouver’s finer local music venues: The Commodore Ballroom, The Town Pump, The Luv-A-Fair and Graceland. Dave Goodman joined the band on drums in 1986 and the line-up was set. From 1986 to 1987 the band demoed material and continued to play shows with bands such as X, National Velvet, 13 Engines, The Waterwalk and Art Bergmann.
In 1988 The Gathering released the Let It Shine EP, produced and recorded by Glen Reely, at Limited Vision Studios in Vancouver. The EP earned favourable reviews and plenty of college radio airplay. The Gathering hit the road playing shows across Canada with the likes of 54-40, Weddings Parties Anything, Nash The Slash and After All. The Gathering disbanded at the end of 1988 feeling their project had run its course.
Inspired by the resurgence of the Post Punk, New Wave and 80’s music movement The Gathering reformed in late 2017. Their re-initiation to the stage was in support of local post punk band ACTORS, led by Jason Corbett. In the spring of 2018, the band, Corbett (producer, composer and songwriter) and Shannon Hemmett, also of ACTORS (and Leathers) went into Corbetts’s Jacknife Sound Studio and the Let It Shine EP was ‘ReTransmitted’. The ReTransmission EP was released in June of 2018. The EP has garnered plenty of airplay and made numerous playlists especially in Germany and other parts of Europe where the Post-Punk Revival movement is thriving. Recent high profile shows have included support slots for The Alarm, Spear Of Destiny and The Grapes Of Wrath.
April 2019 The Gathering signed a deal with Germany based label Cold Transmission. Cold Transmission will release the Jason Corbett produced Love Songs EP June 1st, 2019. The EP will be available on Vinyl, CD and Digital Formats from The Gatherings Bandcamp site. The Rickshaw Theatre in tandem with its 10 year anniversay celebration, will be hosting The Gatherings EP Release Party June 14th, 2019
