TokyoSexWhale (NEW RECORD IN THE WORKS!)

About Me


Ottawa music scene veterans Sadek (The Dead City Rebels, Fortunate Sons) and Granger (Ukrainia!, Double Pumpers) were joined by Montreal expatriate Loan in the hopes of forming a band that would focus on heavy doom. Their first album, Feed the Beast, was recorded in two separate sessions in Granger’s studio –Yogi’s Meatlocker—and revealed the group’s rock and prog leanings. The album was subsequently released in 2007 on vinyl by independent local record label Last Drag Records, and has garnered them awards for "Best New Band” and “Best metal/hard rock/punk album" in the 2007 Ottawa Xpress readers poll. In 2007 and 2008 they played shows in Ottawa and Montreal with bands such as Priestess, Bionic and The Zoobombs and have been played on numerous college radio stations.
TokyoSexWhale is currently finishing their second album, which was recorded by Toronto producer Ian Blurton (Tricky Woo, Weakerthans, etc.). Although they have been playing their new material live; a release date has not been set and the band remains unsigned. They are hoping to release the album in late 2009 and tour across Canada in support.
