Artist description Over twenty years ago, a new star in the sky started to shine a little brighter. Yanick Carpentier (Vocals, guitar) (coincidentally born under that unusual phenomenon) followed a path he hoped would lead to rock stardom. As soon as Yanick learned to talk, he wanted to become a rock star. A few years later, he joined with soulmate Terrence Timmins (Guitar, vocals) to form his first rock band. In 1999, addition of sex symbol Louis-Simon Bastien (Bass, vocals) and the loudest drum player in the world, Christian Roy to the already existing Jaymie formed the perfect sound coalition. Jaymie became a band that combined the hardcore/punk power of At The Drive In and compelling melodies ŕ la Corey Hart, reminiscent of 80's pop music. A moving combination set to reach masses and outstanding live performances. As Yanick says: "If I don't fall down the stage or hurt myself during a show, I won't feel like I gave people their money's worth.".

In April 2000, 5 song E.P. entitled “Between a shadow and I” was recorded and released on More Romance Records. This latest recording received an enthusiastic response from the local newspapers, fanzines and radio stations.

In November 2000 Jaymie played the Medley in Montreal, just to follow with a sold out show at the Montreal’s Spectrum in April 2001.
