Peter Jarecki
of Montreal, Quebec

Description

David Hoult (stand-up bass, bass, guitar) loves the funk.  His jungle of a room is often blaring rhythmically inclined jams.  It started with a local reggae radio show in Guelph, Ontario.  When David was a small child his neighbor asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.  Unaware of the implications, David answered "I wanna be an Indian."  Still he kept wearing his moccasins as house shoes till they fell apart in his early twenties.  The majority of music David listens to is old.  His friends complain about it.  Hank gets the needle over Elvis these days as David inks illustrations of humorous conflict.  For a while he kept canned goods in stock and obtained a real machete for the apocalypse.  Parakeets are his latest thing.  If you've seen a young Blue Budgie at large, Larry Bird might be his name.

Peter Jarecki's (vocals, keyboards, guitar, bass) musical ambition can be traced back to Jefferson City, Missouri, where he attended middle school after recently emigrating from Poland.  While the school bus radio played early nineties hits, Peter preferred listening to his En Vogue and Janet Jackson tapes.  One morning, Derek Goon, the only guy in grade seven with a band and facial hair, snagged Peter's headphones asking "Whatcha listening to Pete?"  Upon hearing MJ's most famous sibling's falsetto, he exclaimed "Janet?! You're listening to Janet Jackson Pete?!" which prompted the nearby kids to snicker.  Peter, who anxiously tried to fit in with the American kids, began to study Derek Goon.  Listening in on his conversations about how cool his step mom was cause she liked the Chili Peppers, and about the sweet PA he was getting for his band.  The girls liked him even though he wasn't athletic or tough.  Fast forward to present day and Peter's musical output can be summed up as electro-alt-rock with traces of RnB.

When a show-goer asks "What are you doing up there?" referring to J.J. Rogers (laptop, electronics, keyboards) live performance,  he usually answers "I'm looking at porn."  It's his way of humoring the skeptics.  In times where the majority of computers come with music editing software, there are still some who have not seen a laptop on stage.  J.J. began his beat-making adventures after joining the rave scene in the late nineties.  He used to own a pair of fun-fur pants that had his nickname 'Jube' sewn into them.  Ironically he raved sober and only tried the drugs afterwards.  Once the scene died down break-beats became his main influence.  Recently J.J has been taking University courses on various subjects.  Likewise he's been known to sample everything from popping balloons, to flies-in-the-room, to porn.
