A band made up of a brother, sister, a childhood friend met whilst their parents took ballroom dancing lessons, and a former semi-professional-wrestler-turned-drummer, The Garden Party is a nice band of respectable youths who will buy you a candy bar for appearing in their inventive music videos.

Germans love them, parents vote them to the top of battles of the bands, and, like Kix, kids like them, too.

Their mind-blowing new album, Pointed at the Sky, vaguely influenced by an Alan Moore Swamp Thing storyline, is getting good press, good Canadian air-play, and loads of German fans. Boatloads.

Check out their website for tons of original content, including, but not limited to, a sprawling page of free mp3s for your [enter applicable mp3 playing device here], an advice section where your questions are answered by members of the band, and drawings. You can now purchase our German loved CD, Pointed at the Sky, at Rock-A-Billies located on Hall Road and almost Van Dyke, and at Record Time in Ferndale, where you can also purchase thousands of other great local music!
