After several shows in Austin
during the South by Southwest
(SXSW) music festival, Wyland
will open for Everclear during
the Atlantic City Beer and Music
Festival on March 21. Then in
April they have shows in Boston, Albany, and Asbury Park,
NJ where they will perform during the first Asbury Park Music
In Film Festival on April 10 at
The Wonder Bar on a bill that
includes The Creeptones, The
Hive, and The Porchistas.
The Atlantic City gig came as
somewhat of a surprise. “We
never expected a yes,” laughed
Sloan. “Essentially, we had done
the “Skate and Surf Music Festival” in Asbury Park, NJ and
from there we were invited to
do other festivals; we are heading to SXSW in Texas on our own
and we’ll be gigging in the area
of the festival. We reached out
to the Atlantic City Beer Festival;
we figured that we’d just take a
shot at it and we’ve now got the
opportunity to open for Everclear! We are definitely very excited by this.”
