We Were Lovers is a 5 piece melodic / rock band with dreamy elements. Formed in 2007, the band then a 6 piece, concurrently released an EP titled 'The Breakup' and played their last show with that line up. Unrelenting, Ash and Elsa continued to jam together determined to pick up the pieces and follow their hearts. Inheriting a double duty role, lead vocalist Elsa bought a synth to jam & write new songs with guitarist Ash along with a laptop drum machine in a lonely jam space. The two did this for months until they received a response to their Myspace blog searching for new members. Jeshaiah was that response and conveniently the perfect fit! After what seemed to be an incessant influx of different bassists and drummers that didn't 'cover all the bases' Jeshaiah suggested jamming with two fellows who actually did not play these specific instruments by origin. Zachary, an astute guitar player / vocalist and Jordan known for his charismatic front man guitar & vocals / keyboard & vocals projects (each with side projects of their own) filled in the roles of bassist and drummer. The instant connection between the five of them resulted in making the We Were Lovers family complete. Within the two months of the WWL reformation, 'Birds of a Feather' from their EP (available on iTunes) was chosen to be in the November issue of New York based CMJ's New Music Mag Compilation CD accompanied by a mini-feature in the magazine. They showcased at the 2008 Western Canadian Music Awards resulting in an invitation to play at the prestigious South By Southwest music festival in Austin, TX. which they will precede with an Eastern Canadian Tour. With many new songs written, plans to record a full length in early 2009 and tours on the horizon, WWL will keep up the momentum they have already created.
