Steve Klatt has been playing guitar for over 20 years. He has toured half way across Canada, with several different bands. Opening for many well know acts.
Steve's early roots can be linked back to bands such as Black Sabbath, Guns N Roses, Metallica, Ozzy, ect....
Soon Steve learned to appreciate great guitar players and their abilities, he began to find influences in players such as John Petrucci, Yngwie Mamlsteen, Steve Vai, Steve Howe, Alex Lifeson...ect
Currently Steve enjoys different types of music. "I really love Prog-rock, and the great style and complexity of there music. I also still love to listen to and play hard rock"
As of now Steve is listening to Avenged Sevenfold, Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Rush, Guns N Roses, Widow's Walk, Steve Vai. even artists such as Van Halen, Deep Purple, and Tool.
Steve has not preformed live in many years. He has settled down and is raising a family now, but he still very much enjoys playing and recording.
" I have been working on a bunch of songs (some can be heard on this site) and I am collaborating with some other great musicians. I hope to have a full length album released sometime in 2011-2012. Perhaps a select few live dates as well"
Steve would like to thank the musicians that have helped him over the years. "I couldn't have got to this point without you"
J.Sin Cardinal, Roger Verdon, Scott Kerr, Stephen Fleet......and the many other that helped shaped my playing style; over the years.
And thanks for everything Bernard Gelinas (R.I.P) as well as my parents.
A Special thanks to my 4 wonderful children! who always love what I play!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It lets musicians record together from great distances. I think it's great. It is making my solo project possible. So it's a wonderful tool to have.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends??? I love having my freedom to create music I love, not music focused on commercial success. I want to have fun making music.
Band History:
I have been writing music for this project since 2006. I have been working with fellow musicians, and old band-mates. I hope to see this project release an album late 2012 or 2013
Your influences?
Dream Theater, John Petrucci, Avenged Sevenfold, Pain of Salvation, Fates Warning, Queensryche, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Steve Vai, Widows Walk, Primus, Frank Zappa, Rush, Zakk Wyld, Steve Morse, Tool, Billy Sheehan, Yngwie Malmsteen, and last but not least Jason Cardinal.
