Artist History When C.J. Harper and Mark Bannister first jammed they knew they could form a great sounding band. Matt Edmonds soon completed the trio. The band “clicked” and they started writing a lot of great original songs and working on their stage act. Since then they've performed at benefit concerts, recorded a full length CD, had airplay on major Ottawa rock stations and done interviews on radio and TV. They've played in most of the clubs in Ottawa including The Whipping Post, ClimaX, Bumpers Roadhouse, The Underground, Babylon Club, and Zaphod Beeblevrox, and the famous Barrymore's Music Hall. Throughout 2002 and 2003 the band has been working on a 5 song EP that's almost set for release. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, DisconneX has decided to call Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada its new home.
