All from the Peterborough Area, the band got together over a short period of time. Mike and Harrison first meeting on Myspace in September of 2006, found bassist Mat Fox from a response to their post on peterbroughscene.ca not long after. They soon connected with drummer Adam Parnell in early 2007 through a mutual friend's recommendations. Now since January, Big City Thieves has been based around four strong musicians who play music for music, and rock for rock; plus having just released a Demo (consisting of 4 tracks), the guys are planning on hitting the road very shortly capturing city by city, one at a time.
Why this name?
Because there's a lot of people in the world not looking for others but just living for themselves.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Before the internet, finding people in the thousands to show your music to, was nearly impossibly if you didn't already have a name for yourself. Now you can advertise and market your album to anyone, anywhere at anytime no matter who you are. You can show music to people in Singapore and China if you wanted to. It makes it easier or harder for a band depending on their level of drive and dedication.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the situation came up, then yes. There are so many Indie labels owned by major labels that harness you as one of their bands and use the major labels for publishing, which is being seen alot more lately due to the change in the music industry.
