Open Prayer for Susan Boyle

boyzandboyle

Yo, Altar Fanz!  The boyz will be back droppin’ the funk in rehearsals on Granville Island in only ONE WEEK. The hypez on the street is real and the Lord is happy.  Need proof?  Look at the weather, y’all.

The boyz are sharing this summer of musical sensations with the cast and crew of “Les Miserables” up at the Stanley Theatre, yo, which has been the subject of much interest!  It’s been widely reported that Susan Boyle’s rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” caused the box office phone to ring off the hook at the Arts Club.  The Boyz want in on some of that action.

Here’s an open prayer that the boyz sent up to the Lord recently, cc’d to Susan Boyle.  Checkitty check it out after the jump!

Confession Session – Spring Edition

Werd up, Altarholics!

The boyz are off travelling around North America, but we can’t wait to be back in Vancouver starting June 18th.  Here is a pic of the boyz dancing in the streetz of New York.

Turns out Luke thought the Vegas Resort “New York New York” and the city “New York, New York” were one and the same.  The boyz are seriously reconsidering Luke as the van driver.  Nonetheless, they did a very rousing performance from the roof.

While hiding away from sin during their trip to Sin City, the boyz went through more Confessionz from their BC Tour this winter.  Here is a classic from Phil M.

Forgive me, my sin is having hurtful thoughts towards those responsible for pants.  Pants are nothing but trouble.

I’ll bet Juan really feels your pain on this one, because he’s always trying to take his trousers off.  The one thing that stops him from doing it?  He’s got a contract with the Lord, yo.

BC Tour wraps up tonight!

The boyz, the band and the crew are getting ready for tonight’s show in Nelson, BC.

The Capitol Theatre is nearly sold out, so it’s a great way to end the BC leg of the “Raise the Praise” tour.

A big thanks to everyone who came to see us on the road, and make sure you check back in with the boyz this summer on Granville Island.

Peace out!

Peace out, Lower Mainland.

The boyz and the band have left Metro Vancouver, having saved thousands of souls from North Vancouver, Surrey, West Vancouver, Mission, Burnaby, Maple Ridge and Coquitlam!

Three more tour stopz to go….

Don’t fret, Altarholics, the boyz will be back to Raise the Praise in Vancouver starting June 18 to August 1.

The boyz will be updating the Altar Blog on the road in the interior of BC, so keep reading!

The Confessional

This sign above is your key to happiness.  Seriously.

The boyz haul this sign (and one of those cool spinny draw boxes made of gold) to every show, along with a bunch of slips of paper for you confessions.

Of course, if you’ve already been to the show and realize you left out a few sins, check out the Confessionz page and post your sinz there.

Hundreds of souls have eased a bit of their burden by sharing nasty little sins with the boyz, from North Vancouver, Surrey and now West Vancouver.

We won’t lie… we got the most confessions in Surrey.

See you tonight in Mission!

Pix: Packin’ it up in Surrey.

Tonight, the Altar Boyz are playing to a sold out crown in West Vancouver at the Kay Meek Centre.  They couldn’t be more excited for their biggest audience yet!  We’ve poured extra holy water into the Soul Sensor DX-12 and Abraham has freshly pressed his yalmukkah.

We have to admit, we’re already missing Surrey, though!  The boyz wanted to share a few pix with all of y’all from the tear down in Surrey.

As soon as the show comes down, the Altar Crew busts a move on transportin’ the set to the next theatre.  Enjoy the gallery!  See you on the tour.

Jesus Merch of the Week 2: Communion on the Go

With the Altar Boyz about to hit the road for realz, it sometimes becomes a challenge to hit up all the Catholic churchez they can on tour.  Yo, sometimes the tour van becomes a rolling Sistine Chapel!

This week’s holy merch comes from a company that appears to have gone out of bidness.  Not sure why, cuz the boys dig their stuff!  It’s the “Communion on the Go” set!

On the left here, a handy dispenser for plastic wine cups.  It isn’t always handy for the boyz to pack their fancy communion goblets with their clothing, so this little dispenser allows us all to have our own see through plastic cup with which to drink the blood of Christ.

More pix after the jump!

Only 2 shows left!

Only 2 shows left!

The Peak thanks God for the Altar Boyz

boyzopeningThe boyz are feelin pretty psyched about the rest of the tour, especially after another great review.

Check out what Tessa Perkins thought of the Altar Boyz in her review for “The Peak,” SFU’s student newspaper.

Come back again soon, girl.  Juan says he’d be happy to take you on a backstage tour.

Abraham will chaperone.

The Altar Boyz have been bustin’ the rhymes in Surrey for two weeks now, and the party has to end eventually.  On January 31st, this Saturday, the boyz will do their final performance at the Surrey Arts Centre and truly hit the road.

West Vancouver, Mission, Burnaby and Coquitlam are their next Lower Mainland stopz.  You can see a list of all the upcoming shows on the Tour Stopz page.

But wait up, G.  There are still some peepz out there who don’t know who the Altar Boyz are!

Yo, Check that. Continue reading

From the van #2

Time for a van ride Confession Sessions!!

Here’s a confession from one of our fanz, Tracy:

“I pretend to be asleep when husband gets frisky.”

Luke has this advice, Tracy:

“Yo girl, I don’t blame ya for fakin’ the z’s on your man. Unless you got a cat there ain’t no reason for him to bring home cat food, let alone eat it in bed.”

Cleanse your soul on the confessionz page, or at our confession booth on tour.
