About:
The band's core members are Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning. This duo recorded and released the band's ambient debut album,
Feel Good Lost, on Noise Factory Records in 2001, with contributions by Justin Peroff, Charles Spearin and Bill Priddle. However, when
they played shows to support the album, Drew and Canning found it difficult to put together an entertaining show based on Feel Good
Lost, which was an almost entirely instrumental album. As a result, they brought in a number of friends from the Toronto indie scene –
Andrew Whiteman, Jason Collett, Leslie Feist, and Metric's Emily Haines – to flesh out their live show with lyrics and vocals. Over time, the
band also came to include contributions from James Shaw, Evan Cranley, Justin Peroff, John Crossingham and Stars' Amy Millan.
