this song is really about car crashes, or sometimes their similarity to life drama and the indefatable nature of some to keep rolling no matter how crazy it gets

a groovy exploration of the power of music to ease the soul

a deliberate march. in your face, don cherry displaying himself in the rink after the call for too many men on the ice

2 stroke is the fundamental funk rock experiment from halifax, groove-based guitar/bass duo with an acid drummer. The songs have all been compiled from hours of free form jams. groovy, moody and walking the line between satire and sincerity.Band/artist history
'79 american strat. and tobias bass. Low light and acid (files). Thouest need no more. except the odd encounter with a p-bass or guatamalan keyboardist. we formed in the stormy winter of 2004 as a distraction to the usual cookie cutter sets of music bands are supposed to play around here in order to get gigs. that's fun and all, but this is way funner. and yea, i know, that's not a word. between jams it's raquetball or pool, or racing cars. either that or miles davis and table hockey. but we actually played in 2 other bands together prior to this. work best under pressure or some sort. the best licks are on the fly. we don't rehearse anything because it's not as much fun. name a lot of working song titles after livestock, and don't take anything seriously.Have you performed in front of an audience?yes. In transition to the live show.

Your musical influences
like the chili's, radiohead, jamiroquai, and about 100 others. but enough about that, they're only what we listen to in our spare time when we're not making music, which is only about 2 hours on a friday night in order to placate the guests, or long car rides.What equipment do you use?
roland vs2480. '79 strat (rosewood neck, solid natural wood finish, swamp-ash body). Tobias bass. pod effects. boss se70. wah. triton le keys. Some other weird guitars, including a hag. also a '76 fender precision bass. also using windows and sonar. whatdya mean especially for techno bands? The rest of us use gear too. and we got a crapload. hehe, but we always want more. the G5 is in the closet, but it'll join the mix soon. or when i get around to it. whichever comes last.Anything else?
anyone who wants to anymously bomb frank magazine headquarters in Halifax, will get a free lollipop, courtesy of the band. Subject to availability.Contact

Sounds like some cool stuff here. I just picked a few random songs to get a sense of your style. I'll be back to give them a better listen.
