Exciting News from Reverie!

A YEAR IN REVIEW

Hey Everyone!
We wanted to take the time to thank all of you for the fantastic support you have given us over this past year – and oh what a year that has been for Reverie!mTo take a look back on the year we have highlighted some of our favorite moments.

August 2008: ‘A Boy and His Crown EP’ release party at the METRO!

September-November 2008: Creation of
Chicago Noise Machine and massive sold-out Launch Party at the Cubby Bear!

January-February 2009: Filming and release of official music video for “MONSTER”.

March – May 2009: Creation of the I AM FEST

June 2009: Performance in the I AM FEST at the Congress Theater, Reverie signs with Andrew Coate from Collaborate Management

July 2009: Taste of Chicago show, NASCAR Chicagoland Speedway show, 15-show-in-16-day tour!




JULY TOUR FOLLOW UP
What a wonderful year it has been! Outside of the many numerous 3 day runs and one off shows in college towns, Reverie spent 2 weeks on the road this past July. This tour was full of both triumphs and trials, it served as a great time of growth, both as a band and as individuals. Overall it was a huge success for Reverie. For those of you just becoming familiar with Reverie or just joining our various groups spread across the vast and magical Internet-land, we kept a journal of our adventures – complete with pictures and video that you can access right here (just scroll down the page after reading this entry!)

Please take some time to read our entries and share in our experiences with us. We would absolutely love to hear your feedback on what’s here, and also on what you would like to see and hear from us as we move forward! We’ll continue to update that site regularly.
