CISEAUX is the most recent endeavor of Victoria, BC artist, Katie Schaan. Melodies swam around her head and danced out her rosebud lips before she was old enough to even know words to speak. That tiny girl lived three years of life before hitting the stage with a tiny cello, and there was no stopping her from music making after that. Ciseaux is inspired by everything from Bach’s Brandenburg concertos, to soulful melodies of the 60’s, to the imaginative indie persuasions of her peers. This is a project evolved from classical training, a love of pop music and an unwillingness to be limited by genre.

CHÉ AIMEE is a Vancouver born musician. She grew up listening to Nick Drake, Tim Buckley and....ahem... Airsupply. She has only just accepted that Airsupply has had a strong influence in her writing style but has added her own twist by writing less terrible lyrics. In 2008, she attended an Airsupply concert and the shorter of the two members kissed her on the cheek. She thinks of this often.

THE BRICE TABISH BAND: While all members of The Brice Tabish Band (TBTB) grew up on a strong diet of British and American classic rock bands, their own music has retained all of the emotional strength with only some of the bombast. TBTB brings the early influence of jazz rhythms on rock music, now largely lost, back to our attention with their funk and blues-inspired brand of original hard rock.
