    Artist History
    The history is about to become!Look and listen for our singles " So Wild " and " Hero " in CHRISTINA'S HOUSE a major motion picture starring Brad Rowe( roswell) and Brendan Fehr (wasteland), coming soon to theatre's near you! Though the name may suggest a bit of a risk, Longshot is the furthest thing from it. This funky trio, Kazer- on vocals and guitar, Zig- on bass guitar and Tommy- on drums, is set on beating the odds."Miles from nowhere, gotta take my time, oh yeah, to reach there…" That lyric from Cat Stevens could be the motto of any musician on the path to recognition. Having an older brother who was a singer/guitar player led Kazer to pick up a guitar in high school that he hasn't put down much since. " I play music because I have no choice- it's a need, like breathing and sex." After a brief stint as a solo artist it was time for more sound, more seduction, more music…The Band!Longshot got together one year ago and they haven't slowed down since. Their songs sarcastic and thoughtful, their grooves infectious and tight. Influenced by early David Bowie, U2, Stevie Wonder and Led Zepplin, the product is sweet. With Kazer's distinctive vocals and glorious wail, the music makes you want to dance just as much as it wrenches at your soul. "We want to create music that has something for everyone. As with the many moods and emotions of us, as humans, so to shall there be different types of music for those moods and even more importantly because of them…"What was developed was "IF", Longshot's debut EP. Produced by Kazer, the CD was recorded at Vyner Road Studios in Toronto, Canada, over a period of four months in the summer of 1999. The six-song release has already grown considerable interest in the music industry, as well as the entertainment industry as a whole. " Hero " and "So Wild", the CD's fourth and fifth tracks, are being used in a major motion picture called "Christina's House" starring Brad Rowe ("Wasteland") and Brendan Fehr ("Roswell"). The film is a thriller written by the folks who brought us " Poltergeist " and is slated for Halloween release in the year 2000. The Toronto Star calls Kazer "more intense than a guatemalan chili pepper". The Annex Gleaner said "Longshot has created a grass roots sound that feeds off rhythm, but still adds flashes of technical mastery for the more musically inclined." With plans to record a full length CD in the spring, Longshot continues to play live throughout the country. They've attracted a strong fan base, with only more to come. In the meantime, Longshot continues to create original, driving music in their quest to become a sure thing. Contact: BCK MUSIC (416) 944-2239
