Bio

Toronto, 2005. Swaying under a galaxy of Christmas lights in the tiny topfloor bar, I played my bass, mesmerized by the dancing skeleton before me. The crowd was captured too, as he swayed and gestured sinuously: a skinless winter temple dance. The black-clad dancers moved too. His bony pelvis and toothsome face. The song was Dear Amputee. I think we took a page from Frank's Wild Year's era Waits here, Jon and Dre's voices scraping together like dry hands on a winter's day. Paul and I dropped fat bass notes and big kick hits into the staggering groove. A drunk's dance home after last call. Jon gave CPR to his old Rhodes, rhythmic compressions in lieu of a steady beat. Dre picked out the spare melody: a poignant needlepoint. Dry bones against an ebony field. Dancing.
