You know, we've always hated the 'we sound like _____' game. Here's an idea: if you think you can peg our sound down to a genre or specific band, use the 'send message' option and let us know. Thanks! |

Artist History
The quest into the unknown began with Dale Boden
moving into Mike Quinn's house and living on his
couch for many months. Following Mike's desire
to sit on his couch without Dale lying there, he
asked Dale to move in and buy a damn bed! Dale
then proceeded to teach Mike how to play the sweet
guitar riffs of Hendrix and Page. The two then
started writing together once Mike stopped
"sucking", and the journey began. A trio was
formed by bringing in drummer Mark Bliss, who
provided the band a house of worship to jam in.
Enter Adam Johnson, a man who had the words
"I wish I was a bass player in a rock band"
tatooed all over his face. After his subsequent
mastering of the A-minor pentatonic scale, the
band played breathtaking live shows at the Pit Pub
and Gallery Lounge at UBC. Drummer Mark moved to
Ottawa and left the band in the summer of 2002.
The intense search for a new drummer culminated
after hearing D'arcy Nichol's thundering
percussion rythyms coming from across the street
during Mike and Dale's first jam session after
summer holidays. The band rented out jam space at
First Music in Vancouver, and now dreams of
playing festivals and amphitheaters around the
world! |
