Down with long winded bios. Here's a sum up.
Everyone in JF Coley's family plays music. So no surprise, he's the fifth generation to head into the industry. Performing since he was three, he went to Mount Allison University for four years where he met a lot of cool people, had interesting conversations, played with a few bands, and drank good beer.
He was recruited before gratuation by Flicker, an Ontario based band. They toured Ontario for a year, after which JF quit, suffering from the second hand effects of LSD (lead singer disorder). He had by then toured at Edgefest, Bayfest, and Canadian Music Week, with cool cats like Our Lady Peace, The Guess Who, Sloan, Edwin, Sam Roberts, Matthew Goode, etc..JF got to play The Thrill is Gone with Russell Jackson, BB King's bass player. Cool. Jamming out with Treble Charger and Jeff of Moist to their favorite bands until 7:30 was also cool. But all in all this short stint mostly consisted of down time, which helped JF perfect my Tiger Woods golf skills, and lose a lot of weight to malnutrition.
He'd since been working solo, and recorded with buddy Mike K (fellow Canadian) in Los Angeles in 2003. Beer was drank, tunes were played, and jokes at Nelly Furtado's expense were told. The album sold 1000 copies, and produced a radio single. Order your own copy now via paypal. The album was toured in Quebec and Ontario, and they had fun with Sloan, the Trews, April Wine, Kill Cheerleader and Capitaine Revolte. In december 2004, JF started the recording the new album with Jordon Zadorozny. Jordon is the Stephen Hawkins of music. Beer was drank, tunes were played, and jokes at Maroon5's expense were told. The album, Crossing the Rubicon will be available soon. Check it out, it is pretty cool. But Coley is now more than a mere last name, it is a band. A powerhouse trio, both elegant and ugly at the same time. Pascal Desmarais is on bass. They met in Sherbrooke when the previous bass player quit three days before a big show. Joce Blanchette is on drums. Joce has been around since the sunday night empty bar gigs of 2003. Big things in 2006.
