Formed haphazardly in 2003 at an apartment above Hot Wax in Kensington, Calgary. Originally just some songs and fragments of songs that were shoved through some wires connected to an 8 track recorder that had a convenient USB output for connecting to a computer. Less than a year later a few more friends climbed on board what will heretofore be known ominously as 'the harrisonford project' and Ian's love for Billy Bragg, trumpets, keyboards and female singers amalgamated into a solid nugget of pure, unadulturated rock goodness.
Goodbye, living room.
