The Balconies are a Canadian alternative music trio, based in Toronto, Ontario. Originally from Ottawa, the band consists of siblings Jacquie and Steve Neville, and Liam Jaeger. They released their first studio album, Fast Motions, in February 2014.
The Balconies are a pop/rock band composed of lead singer and guitarist, Jacquie Neville and her brother Stephen Neville who have been playing music together since their early teens. Jacquie met former boyfriend, Liam Jaeger, at the University of Ottawa in 2005 while they were both studying classical music, but it wasn’t until the end of 2007 that the group formed. The Balconies released their first self-titled EP in 2009 recorded and produced by Carlin Nicholson of indie rock band, Zeus. In late 2010, the band relocated and moved to Toronto. The Balconies won Live 88.5's Big Money Shot which gave them a development package of $75,000, workshops with other music industry leaders, radio airplay, and numerous performance opportunities. Upon winning the development package, The Balconies were able to work with recording producer/engineer, Jon Drew to release an EP titled Kill Count in 2012. The Balconies also have done extensive touring and they were also able to be a part of many North American music festivals such as South by Southwest in 2012 and 2013, Canadian Music Week, North by North East Blues Fest 2012 & 2013(in Ottawa), and Culture Collide & CMJ (New York). The band is currently working on new material.
In 2013, the music video for their single, "The Slo" premiered on ION Magazine and AltSounds. That same year, The Balconies had some notable international performances, performing at MIDEM in Cannes, France, Liverpool Sound City in Liverpool, UK, Brighton's The Great Escape in Brighton, UK. The Balconies also continued to tour Europe that year, opening for rock band, Rival Sons.
