Sun I'll Be The Same CD - Import

Kevin Crompton had played in a few bands, including a punk band called Illegal Youth with his high school friend, Al Nelson, but hadn't yet committed himself to being a full-time musician.

Gary Smith was working in a record store where he would play interesting new music. Gary and Kevin both were fans of Japan and it was inevitable that they would start talking about David Sylvian, the lead singer of Japan.

Joe Vizvary had spent the three years since graduating from UBC playing in various bands, touring bars and beer parlours throughout BC. His band NV had started playing original material, but was running out of steam. Joe had also started recording his own 4-track demos of some new electronic music that was not right for NV. He saw a note in an entertainment column in The Georgia Straight about a band looking for a keyboard player with gear.

Dale Martindale was attending The Emily Carr School of Art in Vancouver after finishing high school in Chilliwack, a suburb about 100 kilometres outside Vancouver. Dale had started spending time at various clubs around town that played new music. A few people had mentioned that he looked like Steve Jansen, the drummer for Japan.

We were not up for anything. The band's breakup was in the air...all of sudden HE appeared in the doorway.

We could barely believe that he was there. He passed us without a single word, snatched up a guitar and started playing - he played like he had never ever done before! Where had he been all this time....?Behind the scenesIn spring 2005, Myob decided to produce a CD album with original songs. This lead to the band regularly meeting at their project studio for arranging songs for this album.

The two years to follow saw them submerged in carefully developing the songs in detail until they were finally recorded at Gateway Records Studio, with a little help from close friends and fellow-musicians.

T e s t i m o n i a l sReally enjoy your artistry in your music - the beats, the words, the feelings and meaning, the way the music carries you...Julie Scott Day, Actor, Poet & Performer, San Jose, CA/USA When Werner turned up the first time with his demo rough mixes at our studio, the entire gosh team was immediately taken away. We had finally come across a band with a unique, original sound and inspired arrangements, with Anthony's distinct, charismatic voice on top. The boys in the band know what they want (and especially what they don't want) and will cut their own path 100%. Still, what was increasingly striking in the course of the 14-day mixing session: who the hell is the 5th guy on the cover......? My favourite tracks on this CD: 5,8,9Stephan, gosh!_audio - Vienna/Austria Your presentation of music, inside the style and personality reflected in the tracks is very refreshing. Keep it up.
