Pedestrian X

Be reasonable ... demand the impossible!

About Me

Pedestrian X was created in Guelph, Ontario in 1994 by Chris Coquard for a gig at Phil's Dinner arranged by the magmonious Dave Checchetto. Since then the band has been through a few name changes, but has come back to its roots. It is a wordal, soundal, eyeal and ultimately thoughtal experience.

Arsenal of democracy
