The Coward and the Pelican

I can't believe I chipped my tooth...

About Me

Basically, we're seven people who like to fiddle around with instruments alot. Myself (Phil), Etienne the Swede and Evelyne the Sweet are ciblings so we pretty much met in our house. I play the guitar, my brother plays the drums and my sister is quite handy at the piano so that worked out pretty well. Our cousin Carmen the Swiss, decided to lend her mad violin skillls to the project, officially making it quite family oriented. My friend Ashley, a mermaid, eventually joined up to sing with us. Fate handed us a flutist by the name of Simon, a martial artist, and a local orchestre Etienne plays in provided us with good old Martha from Africa, on French Horn. Most recently, a girl named Emma joined us on Trumpet, completing our very ghetto brass section. We like to write songs in French and English, probably because we live in Montreal and we're all bilingual. Our songs live in the past mostly and in them, we're princes, queens, peasants and sailors, whatever we want..
