Is Grace Enough would like to thank all of those who helped push the band up the purevolume charts last week. In a single week the band's purevolume page received 24000 plays, with the band scaling both to #2 on the top unsigned artists list, and to #10 on the ENTIRE purevolume site. The band could not feel more honoured to see their name alongside such acts as Taking Back Sunday, Underoath, Home Grown, and Fall Out Boy on the main chart, and with 51000 other artists on the site could not be happier to see themselves in the top #10. Feel free to check out screencaps of the band's rising up the PV.com charts here. Also, for those who still have not downloaded it, all four tracks of the band's old EP, "the Tragedy of Death", are now available online in both streaming and downloadable formats here:

Taking place at Mavericks (221 Rideau St), the show is all ages and set to start at 7 30pm. Tickets are available for $13 at RecordRunner, CD Exchange and Vertigo, as well as online at TuneVault here.
IGE are proud to say they will also be returning to Montreal on Thursday, September 2nd in order to help send off one of the last shows at the Salle L'X (182 Ste Catherine E).

After an extensive tour of Quebec in July, Is Grace Enough have returned home for August. The band would like to extend the greatest thanks ever to Jim Arseneau and the Awkward Picture and xFMx of Bright Night Star for giving them the opportunity to tour alongside them this summer. The tour was a complete success, and the band could not be more happier to have been a part of it. IGE would like to send out warm thanks to their summer 2004 touring crew; merch gals Vicky Blais and Sabs Swain and roadie/light technician Andrew 'Roach' Rochon. The band would also like to thank Gates of Slit Throat Productions, Steph and Pleased, Crackhead Dave, Karl Picard, the guys from the Midway State, the man who made Wal-Mart parking lots camp-able over night to the public, A Day and a Deathwish, and all of the band's new friends in Quebec and New Brunswick for making their trip a memorable one.
Due to a recent surge of plays on purevolume.com, IGE are once again honoured to be featured as a PurePick on the mp3 site. Is Grace Enough have taken this opportunity to release the Tragedy of Death (EP) in its entirety to the public through their purevolume.com site. Available once only by an independent pressing strictly through the band, all four tracks of the EP are now available online in both streaming and downloadable formats here:

The show is all ages and doors open at 6 30pm. Admission is $8 at the door, so get there early as this show will sellout quickly. Also on the bill are Kemptville acts One Last Gift, Daggers Bearing Notes, and Sympozium. The band will then be headed to Oshawa on Saturday August 7th with fellow locals hartsfield to rock the Dungeon (44 Bond St E) that night.
