BLVD's 2009 spring U.S. tour takes them up the west coast, to the SXSW Festival in Austin, and east to Hampton, VA, ending with a tour alongside Lotus, stopping at many of the premier theaters in the North East.

Regulars on the North American festival circuit, BLVD's latest release, "Music For People," is their first record featuring MC Souleye on vocals. Souleye has graced the stages with such acts as The Glitch Mob, String Cheese and Bassnectar before permanently joining BLVD in 2007.
