| Band Bio 2003
Brother Love Canal is the Brainchild of producer/songwriter Steve Diguay.
His goal: to create a pop group that would take the energy and excitement
of electronic music out of the studio and onto the stage. The result:
a gorgeous blend of sentimental pop with sexy dance grooves and punk rock
attitude - a sound and style that can only be compared to Blondie's explosion
onto the charts twenty years ago.
Formed in 1998 with vocalists Matt Lucien and Leslea Keurvorst, Brother
Love Canal released its debut CD which contained their first singles,
"Candyass", "Boom Zoom Split", and their own jump-up house mix of Joni
Mitchel's "Both Sides Now."
This was soon followed up by a performance at Toronto Pride 1998 and
a feature article in XTRA Magazine, Canada's largest Gay/Lesbian weekly.
Since then, they have become regulars on Toronto's legendary live music
scene, with performances at clubs like El Mocambo, Rivoli, Reverb, and
the Horseshoe Tavern to name a few. They also proved to be as dynamic on camera as on stage,
with feature performances on U8TV (Alliance), Volt (TVOntario), Sorties
Gaies (Canal Vie), as well as two separate appearances on Breakfast Television
(City-TV).
Their second CD, launched at Toronto Pride 2000, earned them the cover
of Now Magazine. It would also attract the attention of the Toronto Star,
Fab Magazine, and again XTRA who named Brother Love Canal "Best Local
Band" for 2001.
Their latest singles "Hold Tight" and "Forever" have been remixed by
DJs from as far away as Australia, France, and the Netherlands. Brand
new remixes from DJs Julian Marsh, Paul Grace, and DJ Iain are also ready
for release.
With the release of their debut "Little Tingles," Brother Love Canal
is poised like never before to take on the world with their wild, blissful,
party sound. |
