Surprise Me Mr. Davis is an electro-roots pop band consisting of folk singer Nathan Moore, the members of avant-rock band The Slip: Brad Barr, Marc Friedman and Andrew Barr; and the newest member, dazzling post rock pianist Marco Benevento. The band formed in 2003 in Boston while Moore was visiting The Slip at their apartment when the Blizzard of 2003 hit. They were snowed in at the Barr brothers Mission Hill home for five days with a brand new stereo microphone and computer. Songs were written, plans were made and Surprise Me Mr. Davis was born. Touring sparsely over the first six years of their existence, Surprise Me Mr. Davis has decided that 2011 will be the year the band becomes a number one priority. A new studio album That Man Eats Morning for Breakfast soon to be released! more info: www.nufunk.ca or email Jay@360degreesartists.com

Yeah this was a blast of a time. So glad that I made it! I did run into a bunch of Skancs C-Towns, 'Shwa, LionLocks, JChameleon, Laurie Wassink, BradM... wild times... Day in the Life was one of my highlights... Unfortunately it wasn't the wookie moon I had hoped for, after our honeymoon in Quebec City, we returned to Toronto and my wife Karen just couldn't come - she was stressing about her PHD defense at the end of July, so luckily my bud Farbsie aka Hipsterave was able to come up with me and we raged hard. Big love to all who made it - it felt really special to be there!
