Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed in the fall of 2002 by founding members, Jake Jacob & Dusty Idaho.
They were 1 of 27 local bands who competed in CITR’s Shindig this year. Local excellent promoter Frank Rumbletone said the invaders are his favourite local band and has been giving them a lot of shows and a lot of airplay on CITR. They’ve just completed a 5 song EP ( Aug 04) at Hush in Burnaby with Vic Levak (Balligomingo) and Jerry Wong (Damn the Diva, Bif Naked and sometimes Loverboy). They are part of the Toronto-based and Canada wide playindies.com.
