We are just a few musicians who always had serious musical aspirations ,alas, real life got in the way. And then a few years ago, we were presented with an opportunity to get together, write, and record... One of the common bonds between us all is the disappointment in the current music scene on the radio and worldwide. What ever happened when you actually had to know how to play an instrument to be a musician in a band? What ever happened to the time when good bands also had good hooks in their songs? We know that type of music is still out there. It just seems that you hardly hear it anymore.
Not a lot to say here. We were originally 4 guys who just wanted to play music that we liked. So we ended up jamming once a week. Then we started to write and record. This turned out better than we thought so we approached a friends to help with the vocals. It just so happened, he wrote music as well. And his style was very similar to ours. In the mean time, some people have gone, others have joined. So long as we are still having fun.
We have been playing live a few times a year for the last couple of years. The issue with us is that we are not a top 40 band. We do not want to be playing in the bars 5 or 6 nights a week. We are far too old for that now. So we pick our shows carefully.
One show that is particularly fun is in Brandon Manitoba at the end of May. It is called "That 70's Social" and it is in benefit for the Special Olympics.
Just about every band from the 60's 70's and 80's. Mostly progressive rock. The type of music that was good music because MTV was not around yet.
