BIO:
We Are The City is a three piece progressive indie rock act from the Okanagan lakeside city of Kelowna, British Columbia. Originally forming under the name “Seraph†in the Spring of 2006, they changed their name to “The City†in January of 2007, and finally settling upon We Are The City in May of 2008. We Are The City features three young composers: Cayne McKenzie on vocals and keys, David Menzel on guitar, and Andy Huculiak on the drums. Cayne’s symphonic piano arrangements flow into David’s guttural guitars and the grand heartbeat of Andy’s drums, as the vocals slink from soft melodies into gruff howls. Their songs paint out a sincere and beautiful interpretation of life; exploring evocative sounds and storytelling.
They draw inspiration from Muse, Coldplay, Mew, and Radiohead. They have already shared the stage with Alpha Baby, Secret & Whisper, Kyle Tubbs, National Frost, Sylvie, Anything August, The Painted Birds, The Emerson Letters, Italian Edition, My Broken Hero, Bend Sinister, You Say Party! We Say Die!, Winter Gloves, Mother Mother, and Leeroy Stagger. We Are The City was recently invited to close the Best of BC Stage in Victoria, for BC's 150 Festival, followed on the mainstage by Burton Cummings, Sarah McLachlan, and Feist.
Listening to their instrumentation and orchestral arrangements you will readily discover their potential for greatness is simply palpable. Cayne has been classically trained in piano for eight years and playing for twelve. David and Andy are both self-taught musicians, with Andy playing drums for five years, and David playing guitar for four years.
In person, and during their witty banter in between songs on stage, you will find these three young men endearing, awkwardly funny, and incredibly sweet. They are brothers drawn together to explore their own musical renaissance. Having just finished highschool, their innocence and sincerity will pull fans in to find their own fists clenching at nostalgic summer days with bruised teenaged knuckles. These three young men may be comical, humble, and sweetly adorable, but their music is not to be taken lightly. With their booming stadium-ready sounds and stirring melodies, they are set to continue to steadily gain fans of all ages around the globe.
We Are the City will convince you with their good hearts and inspiring sounds to come and be a part of their city.
Nice things people say about us:
"Despite their young ages, if they continue to pursue their musical ambitions with the creativity and drive they‘ve shown to get this far in such a short time, you get the impression that We Are The City is heading in the right direction." - Studio Financing 101 - eVent! Magazine
"extremely diligent blends of post-rock indie-pop bliss...Taking cues from foreigners like Sigur Rós and Múm, and blending them with organic Americana rock spirit (Wilco, the Shins) just might be the perfect combination to reinvent the wheel, and quite possibly the answer to this country’s stale revolving door of young talent." - Canadian Music Week 2009 Recession Reviews. Clash scours Toronto for the best breakthrough bands. www.clashmusic.com
"We Are The City have a very bright future ahead of them. They deserve to play in a much bigger venue then The Railway Club, and I have a feeling they will sooner rather than later." ronatron.net
"... boast a great mix of songs that range from a raw electric energy to a heart felt melodic ballads such as the song Time, Wasted..." NXEW.ca blog - Biltmore Cabaret, Vancouver, BC Thursday May 7, 2009
"...the trio showcases real frenetic energy and an ear for strong hooks. ...The band wraps up, proving to be relevant, modern, and a great soundtrack for the youth culture. There’s a great familiarity to them, as they make you want to sing along, even if you don’t know the lyrics." A'n'E Vibe - Canadian Music Week- Day 2
