Rare Americans at Ace of Spades

Rare Americans have been busy. Real busy. Ever since they emerged from their hole in the wall back home in Vancouver, British Columbia, they’ve been making waves. Their music isn’t exactly punk rock, but it isn’t necessarily anything else, either. It’s a perfect blend of alternative rock influences with a powerful mission to tackle the real and raw. There's nothing better than rock with something to say. And, of course, they’re absolutely amazing live. If you’ve got the chance to go see them perform, don’t take it for granted. Get tickets now!

There are very few honors in the music industry that can compare to winning a Grammy Award. Everyone knows that. But for Canadian bands and artists, there’s one award in particular that everyone wants a piece of: a Juno Award. The Juno Awards are basically the Canadian Grammys. It’s all about celebrating and honoring Canada’s best, both new and old. Naturally, you can understand why earning a Juno nom in only around five years of making music was such a huge deal. They’re just a small alt band from Vancouver, but there’s a demand for them all over the world. So really, you should get those tickets right now. Seriously, snatch them up before someone else does.

Rare Americans are a lot of things. Funny enough, American is none of them. Expressive, innovative, and interesting are a few choice words. Their music is genreless in a way that very few bands can achieve; no one can seem to agree whether they can be considered punk or not. Regardless, they have a strong message. They’re all about getting to the meat of the issue and keeping it real with their listeners. Their authenticity and originality is probably the reason why they’re blowing up right now. Whatever you blame it on doesn’t matter. The point is, you NEED to see them at their Sacramento show. Don’t overthink it too much, just put the tickets in your cart. Rationality is for later. Get them before they’re gone.
