KAEJEMA

www.kaejema.com

Kaejema is an eclectic four-piece band based out of Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast, BC. Initially the project began 8 years ago somewhere between Banff, Alberta and Montreal, Quebec, before core members Kit Soden (rhythm guitar, vox) and Tim Townsend (lead guitar, vox) decided on the west coast to evolve and create the sound still known as kaejema.

After a few lineup changes, which served as learning experiences, the partnership has now grown to include the talent and wisdom of Pat Haavisto (Harvesters, Spirit Merchants) on drums, and Jason Taylor (Smokin' Frogs, Jasonius Maximus) on bass. Jason is from Vancouver and Pat is from Kamloops, BC. Kit is from Montreal and Tim from the Laurentians, QC.

Each member contributes a variety of styles to the compositions, creating a sound that is familiar yet unique at the same moment.

Fans of live improvisation and an atmosphere for dancing will find this special blend exhilariting.

Only one year after its inception, DOPPLER (D)EFECT have attracted much attention in Vancouver's electronic, jazz, & jam band communities. This is a live drum & bass band. That does not mean the band only play hard beats at breakneck speed... though it certainly goes that way at times!! However, the focus of the band is to groove as hard as possible, providing danceable music for its audience. The band draws inspiration from acts such as LTJ Bukem, Aphex Twin, Roni Size, Medeski, Martin, & Wood, and The New Deal.

Another double-billing & REUNION PARTY featuring...

THE ACHIN' BLUES BALLS BAND

&

BELUGA

That's right folks, we're going back to the early 90's... a time of great health in Vancouver's live music scene when bands like the Achin' Blues Balls Band, Beluga, Crazy Fingers, She Stole My Beer, The Grames Bros., People Playing Music, & Roots Roundup (to name a few) were regularly packing the houses at the old Commodore Ballroom & the much missed Town Pump every weekend.

The guys thought that it was time again for a little get together to jam things out, have a raging party, and let loose with all our old friends. This show is sure to be a good time and a stroll down memory lane.

PLUS... don't be surprised if some special guests join in on the fun and things onstage get a little crazy!!!
