Originally formed in 1985 from the ashes of Vancouver New Wave band A Cast ofThousands, Gary Economy, Jeff Pawson, Peter Burns and a Korg drum machine became The Gathering. Inspired by such bands as The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Killing Joke they began playing shows at some of Vancouver’s finer local music venues including The Commodore Ballroom, The Town Pump, The Luv-A-Fair and Graceland.
Inspired by the resurgence of the Post Punk, New Wave and 80’s music movement The Gathering reformed in late 2017. Their re-initiation to the stage was in support of local post punk band ACTORS, led by Jason Corbett. In the spring of 2018, the band, Corbett (producer, composer and songwriter) and Shannon Hemmett, also of ACTORS (and Leathers) went into Corbetts’s Jacknife Sound Studio and the Let It Shine EP was ‘ReTransmitted’. The ReTransmission EP was released in June of 2018. The EP has garnered plenty of airplay and made numerous playlists especially in Germany and other parts of Europe where the Post-Punk Revival movement is thriving. Recent high profile shows have included support slots for The Alarm, Spear Of Destiny and The Grapes Of Wrath.
On April 11th, 2019 The Gathering signed a deal with Germany based label Cold Transmission. Cold Transmission will release the Jason Corbett produced Love Songs EP June 1st, 2019. The EP will be available on Vinyl, CD and Digital Formats.
