biographical info
Starting as a metal band seven years ago, the core of Redrick Sultan has stuck together through band member and genre changes all through grade school since they first got it on in grade 7. Now Redrick Sultan's line up consists of guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, keyboards and vocals. Our musical appetites have phase shifted from metal to classic rock, progressive rock, be-bop, avante-garde jazz and free improv, funk, hip-hop to blues (as well as adventures into classical music, ethnic music and celtic music). Through each genre phase we go through we gather more material to draw upon when writing, so we have quite a mixed bag of songs. Most come across with a strong beat and many groovy licks. After going to Jazz School at Capilano University for 2 years the members of band decided to go crazy and start playing original music again. We are currently recording a CD and plan on putting together a tour of the world in the Spring, and hopefully outer space in the next 5 years or so.
