Golden B.C.

Golden B.C. is the name of a semi-solo project created by Brian Offredi in 2006. After finding it hard to find a band with the same frame of mind, Offredi set to learning how to play the bass and drums in addition to the guitar so that he could start to write songs. ------------------------------------------------------------ --- The name comes from a family trip in which his family (mother, father, and little sister) went to British Columbia. After reaching the town of Golden, they started to look for a motel but everything in town was full. So having no other options, they parked at a truck stop and slept in the van. Offredi: "In a strange way, that memory always stuck with me. So, I guess, its a dedication of sorts...to my family." ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- After nervously recording a few songs onto his laptop with a computer microphone, Golden B.C. released "Delstra: Songs From A Basement" in May 2007. It was an EP of demos he had recorded in his parents basement as well as in the basement suite he later moved to. ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------- As of recently, Offredi has talked of putting out Golden B.C.'s first full-length album and an electric blues EP entitled "Oh No!" was released on January 29, 2008.------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------
