Slow Grinding Machine
We started at a bar in Halifax: watching the dance floor drinking White Russians with Techno banging off the walls in second year university. I said that we should start a bad rock band, so bad it would be funny; I could sing and play the harp, my roomate Nick could play rhythm our friend Tim could play the bongos and Ed could solo. People took it more seriously than we intended and we kinda got caught up in it. Our old drummer had to leave and become a business man (or something) but we were blessed with a new and very professional guy named Andrew. We started to find a sound, write our own music kinda folk-funk. Wierd, I know. Listen, no one needs to tell me it's not an honest mixture.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Not a lot.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We only play live. That's all. we jam for a long time and hope that there are enough drunk or high kids to keep the place going. Special moments: Playing 4:20 last year at the Planet. We thought that was it for our short lived rock careers. Oh well. There were two kids we had never seen before, probably on 'shrooms and they didn't know what to do with themselves. I think we came close to making their heads explode.
Your musical influences
Dave Matthews, Parliament, Led Z, Blues Traveller, Young MC.
Anything else?
Yeah.... Thankyou to Seth RR for buying into our rock star dreams so quickly!!!
