SUPER KICKASS HEART TOUCHING ROCK WRENCHING POWER CHIC
Right so here it is. Me and my friends Warren Bray (bass), Michael Duffield (drums), and Simeon Philip Abbott (keys, guitar, tambo) play in a band. We’ve also been known to frequent Ted’s Collision down on College Street to discuss wordly happenings and belt out Police songs as they blare out from the speakers overhead. We approach the way we play music much like a spartan would approach battle, except without the fight, we do it like it could be our last night on the planet.One day I was walking down a lush and sunny Montreal alleyway on a seemingly quiet and calm summer afternoon, peacefully humming a tune, juggling a couple of hot St. Viateur bagels (best in the world), on my way home from my morning swim at the Y and my morning coffee at my local espresso bar, "open da night". I was truly minding my own business when a dark van screeched to a blinding halt from around the corner, kidnapped me and hence was swiftly bolted down the 401 – due West to Toronto.I write, record, and produce my own songs, I play a red, classic Gibson SG electric guitar, and a 1972 vintage Wurlitzer for my songs ..s. As a kid I wore out my parents red, white, and blue Beatles albums on my Fisher Price record player, started recording songs on my dad's old 4-track, graduated to 8 and 16-track, eventually made it to endless tracks, and now we've come back to the old school roots of live off the floor.Simeon was shipped here from the Great Canadian plains of Calgary. Warren and Mike both hail from Scarborough which confirms my initial suspicions about the place; it is teeming with rare and raw musical talent. We all met and came together through friends.We’ve also done some pretty cool stuff. We just played Hillside, Canadian Music Week, and Pop Montreal, I sang on “Bootleg Saint†and “The Resistance†on Sam Roberts’ current Chemical City release, and Francois “le madman†Beaujolais (of the Hylozoists) just recorded our new EP.For the record, summer’s coming and we’ll be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for a VW Pop-Top camper van so we can go on tour guerilla styles. Voyage by day, woods and fire by night.We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts for coming to our shows and being there.Danielle, Warren, Mike, Simeon, and the dd crew James and Becca.
