New CreComm band!

Good evening

I have really been itching to start a new band and play some shows since I moved here from Calgary two years ago and left my former band.




Former band FrontLine Infantry

The last band I played guitar in was really gaining some momentum and we were starting to headline some great shows; but unfortunately two of the band members moved to Vancouver for work, and shortly after I moved to Winnipeg for film work.

I have been keeping busy as a session guitar player since being in Winnipeg collaborating on tracks with Selektah Coda, DJ Tubescreamer and many other comrades in the electronic music       scene, but I've really been hoping to take it out of the studio and back on to the stage.

I discovered that my motivations were shared with CreComm pals, Nolan and Logan. After some discussion about starting up a music project but lacking a place to practice with a live drummer, I began searching for a rehearsal studio. I did a ton of shopping around and started getting the word out to many collective local music organizations that we were looking for a good secure artistic space. My close friend and drummer for the band, Nick Hook, mentioned that his buddy Tom was renting a commercial studio space on Erin street and they currently had an opening that was spacious and secure. Without much delay we booted down there, took a brief tour and then signed the lease! This character space is a former bus depot that apparently has become haunted after a band-saw broke in the repair station and killed 4 people—perfect for some ghastly guitar riffs!



It was officially ours that night, so we celebrated our new piece of dingy real-estate by hauling all of our gear to the location on the worst possible evening ever: During that furious blizzard last week. For those of you who have never experienced natures fury in the form of a Winnipeg blizzard, trust me, it's definitely a devastating occurrence. We could have delayed the move a couple days for the on-slaught of snow to pass, but we decided to haul the massive Pearl drum kit, guitars and amps in the middle of being ruthlessly bombarded by winter turbulence. Not even mother natures icy wrath could keep us from making noise that night. So we had a great first jam and our sounds peaked interest of bands renting studio space around us, which are 3 other groups. Our closest neighbors are this hip-hop group with a band name coined from the room in which they reside, Rm.220, which they have converted into a hip-hop production studio, hang-out space and basketball court. We have been there a couple times now writing original heavy rock tunes and providing 16 bar funky flavors for our hip-hop neighbors for MC battles. If you cant make out the lyrics, then you can trust me that it was good clean fun that night. I will be posting songs as we record them in the upcoming weeks. Cheers!
