    ...Bad Mr Frosty (aka John Peer) established a name for himself as one of Eastern Canada's top hard rock keyboardists back in the late 1980's, before moving to Vancouver to play all original music. While living and working on his fishing charter boat for seven years, he became an electronic rave/after hours performer during the late '90's. The former keyboard player and co-founder of Vancouver hard-core band "Yeah Whatever" was already known for his insane analogue synth work, and church-organ-from-hell Hammond B3. His use of multiple keyboards (both cutting edge and vintage) to create a wall of techno/electronica dance grooves kept patrons of his own after-hours clubs (the 151, Palace after Dark)) dancing and partying 'til the early hours. Some of you will remember the After-hours "pirate boat" moored by BC Place for the summer of '95 as well as 151 W7th (at Cambie) AKA Pirate's Island Studios (Hello to any survivors!). ...In 1998 he finally remembered to leave BC, after one year stretched to seven, and returned to the East Coast to join Canadian Indie funk-rock band Sweet Tooth, (see links). After the 2001 release of their second album ("Gimme Some", available at HMV.com) fRosTy relocated to his current home in Liverpool, England. Fans of fRosTy, after moving several of his songs into the Canadian Top 40 (Electronic) are looking forward to the long awaited release of the darker and more intense project; "Spirit Chaser"; realized on all analogue and Analogue modelling hard-synths, including the Korg Vocoder. fRosTy now lives mostly in the UK, spending the winter months working and playing in Central America.

    ...Title track from "Reruns". --------That's a Korg Vocoder btw, replacing the Digitech from the 151 days...and for the most part fRosTy is rather impossible to decipher .....see lyrics by clicking on the song pic....-------------

    This is also new from "Spirit Chaser". Note the freaked out ring-modulated patch that pretends to be a guitar. That's a CS-6X. In fact it's all done on hard synths. fRosTy don't use no wimpy soft-synth fruity-loopy poop. And he uses his last midi cord to hold up his drawers...

    This is the title track to the 5-song EP from fRosTy's band Yeah Whatever. Thanks to Stu and Steve at Outback Studios, Vancouver BC for finding this surviving copy in the back of a '79 Pinto...A rare chance for fRosTy fans to hear the band that blew up the PA at the Town Pump. fRosTy accepts no responsibility for sound men who do not limit/compress signal flow from analogue self-oscillating filters, such as that found on the Sequential Circuits Pro-1. The TP is now a dance club. Safety in mediocrity.

    When I was a kid, I would get off the school bus and go check my rabbit snares. One time, years later, a girl asked me, "How would you like it if a great big rabbit caught YOU in a snare?". Sad, 'cause she was a real Green piece... What's that to do with this song? Not much really.

    Another track from fRosTy's now defunct Vancouver groove-core band Yeah Whatever. fRosTy used a draw-bar organ for the intro. (Yes, it is). Why are Yeah Whatever songs here anyway? No reason really.

    I do, kinda.... this rather awful drum sample is the perfect compliment to fuzz piano. I kinda gotta explain here that fRosTy can scare your cat. Be sure to put fresh litter in his box.... This one will have you thinking your mp3 player is f**ked but that's lo-fi fRosTy-drum.

    Hmmm. This is an instrumental piece from a few years ago...we used to jam it live at The Palace AD, with guest muscians! (Including Walter the insane electric violinist, and my panther, Mica, on piano) ... In fact, as time passes, I was going to delete this. But sitting here in the warmth of a Guatemalan sun, remembering that Casey likes it, I've "changed me mind". Anyway, some Jonas' God lyrics are here. Click on the pic!

    This is a wicked love song by Singer/songwriter Casey Boyce from Kingston Ontario. Originally recorded live at the Grand Theatre, Spencer Evans played the piano and I was lucky to get to lay down some synth! Check out Casey's site here at mp3.com...link from my site!

    An old idea from a strange warehouse in Surrey. What a freak show was the summer of '98. I ran for my life in an old car. How about you? "It seems to me it's in someone else's hands... not mine." This live recording shows the cool arpeggiator on the old Roland Jupiter-6. Of course the JP-6 has no after - touch, or even key velocity...So the filter needs to be opened by hand, difficult while triggering the vocoder, and playing the arpeggiator pattern live. I might need to build a Mechano robot... No Fruity Loops here, kids... A trained monkey would work too. In fact, with two monkeys I could stay home!
