Awesome. Simply awesome

After selling out its debut weekend last summer at Foggy Notions, the buzz surrounding Lion Ride quickly progressed into a roar as the swelling fan base demanded to hear more from the five Sault boys.

This was boosted by teaser demo songs posted on Lion Ride's MySpace page.

The fans wanted an album.

Saturday, July 19 will see the release of Awesome, Lion Ride's highly anticipated debut EP.

"We had six tracks we really wanted to lay down," Mikey Lion told SooToday.com. "We didn't want to record a 'good' album. We didn't even want to record a 'great' album. We figured we might as well go BALLS OUT and record an AWESOME album. And that's what we did. For five bucks, you can get awesome too."

This awesome rock metal band, now based in Toronto, will host the event at The Other Place, 119 Gore Street, with awesome opening guests, The Labour Of and The Scary Uncles.

That's awesome.

Mikey Lion (vocals), Marky Lion (guitar/vocals), Itch (bass), Marc O'Lion (guitar) and The Italian Stallion (drums) are making it easy for Saultites to get awesome.

Admission to this awesome 19+ show is $5.

Pay $7 at the door and you'll receive your own copy of Awesome.

The show kicks off at 10 p.m. and promises to be awesome.

Simply awesome.
