The Light Machines...
(Rock & Roll & Soul)
http://myspace.com/thelightmachines
All natural experimenters, Jeff Zipp (guitar), Tylor Rolyt (vocals, guitar) and Nick Beddow (bass) each contribute unique but complimentary musical sensibilities to create the fleshed-out modern Brit-pop sound that is The Light Machines. Zipp is a fan of Chuck Berry's sloppy rhythm licks and plays with an easy looseness, and Tylor's cranking vocals are reminiscent of a young Jagger with undertones of David Bowie. Beddow pulls from the inimitable baselines of bands like Sonic Youth and the Rolling Stones and is unafraid to infuse a classic blues riff with disco beats or a reggae baseline.
Together the trio blends genres as disparate as southern rock, blues, glam and disco. It's an artful mix of electronic beats, powerful vocals and alternately delicate and shredding guitar. And though the band regularly draws comparisons to names like Kings of Leon, Jet, and LCD Soundsystem, The Light Machines are impossible to pigeon-hole – they have a sound all their own. Onstage, the band's shared passion for classic Brit-pop rock 'n' roll trumps all. It's no surprise that The Light Machines can take a live show from a slow-dance lovers pace (Come One, Come All) to a rattle-your-brains, hide-your-grandparents-and-children frenzy (Criminal) in a matter of minutes.
The band also comes with superb representation care of Jonathan Fluevog and the Vogville Recording family, and will also be featured in the upcoming music documentary Undiscovered: The Film. The Light Machines look forward to embarking on a cross-Canada tour to promote the film this January, playing a high school every day and a venue every night – working hard and doing what they love.
Leave the Lion...
(formerly the Adam Rosenthal band)

Adam Rosenthal, born in Papua, New Guinea had a mundane life until age fifteen when he discovered he was growing wings and could fly. His first choice to relocate was (obviously) Canada. Due to his lack of basic geographical understanding, he landed in Newfoundland. Adam quickly discovered Newfoundland is far too east and very cold and decided to cross-train in order to run across Canada; this endeavor eventually found him here..., best city in the world, Vancouver BC.
Upon arrival on the beautiful West Coast, Adam became fast friends with Ralph and Stephan; A friendship that would shape many of his future plans. One drunken night the three of them decided to draw straws to decipher the direction of their adult lives.
Ralph drew the shortest straw and was the one who had to get married (poor Ralph). Stephan drew the middle length straw and had to swim across English Bay which left Adam with the longest straw... So a music career was his fate.
A quick business decision had Adam trading in his wings for mad guitar skills and it was off to the races. He soon discovered that Ralph's marriage had already ended in divorce and wrote his first song based on this sad event. When interviewed, Adam's only words on the subject were "It was a heart-breaker, one I just had to get out of the way. It was really shitty."
