TCPL (Trans Canada Parking Lot) was conjured into existence in April 2000, after realizing that there wasn't enough music in the music stores that I liked. So I set out to make it myself. The music has changed a fair bit over the last while, starting with a more experimental style, eventually merging into the electronica dancy stuff, and then REALLY turning the corner towards what I really wanted to do the whole time but had no knowledge of how to do it. Now I do.
The current incarnation of TCPL is actually in the form of a collective, instead of a band or artist name. What has happened is that the band formerly known as TCPL had disbanded in an amicable way, and the two main components of the band (Rob D and Kyle K) are now working on their own material, but still crossing paths to work with the others' material.
So TCPL is now known as a collective of bands and artists. Not quite a label, but more of a "house." Under this roof lies a group of artists/bands who want to do something good. TCPL also endorses many bands who are not a part of this collective. Friends of TCPL, shall we say?
It should also be taken into account that the main artists involved with TCPL include Rob's main project, Rezonatti ( www.rezonatti.com ), Kyle's solo effort, Combined Heroes ( http://www.myspace.com/combinedheros ), and Rob's side project, Spaciallure ( www.tcpl.net/spaciallure ).
