| Biography: | KlezFactor has been percolating under the radar of the Toronto music scene since 2004, and is becoming one of Toronto's most musically accomplished bands.
Creating a fusion of rock, jazz, classical and klezmer (Eastern-European Jewish folk) music, KlezFactor highlights 6 of the finest up and coming musicians in Toronto.
Featuring a sound never heard before, KlezFactor's debut CD, "The Golem of Bathurst Manor", has been called "daring and creative" and "well off the beaten path". The album features 6 original tracks by bandleader (and saxophonist/clarinetist) Mike Anklewicz as well as re-invisionings of 4 traditional Klezmer tunes. Joining Anklewicz are pianist Ali Berkok, drummer Gregg Brennan, guitarist Mark Pellizzer, bassist Steve Gotlib and violinist Jennifer Burford.
KlezFactor has played shows at the Renaissance Cafe, the Free Times Cafe, The Bagel, the Tranzac Club and Markham Theatre, and they will be featured at the City of Toronto's "Tuesday Night Live" concert series in June of 2006.
