biographical info
THE INVADERS are 4 guys from Vancouver, Canada who play loudish, farfisa / guitar driven indie rock and roll.
The Georgia Straight’s Steve Newton Said, “The Invaders hint at world domination of the power-pop genre with these five extremely catchy numbers, smartly produced by Damn the Diva alumnus Jerry Wong. The musical stylings of “Farfisa operator” Dusty Idaho are topnotch, and guitarist-vocalist Jake Jacob’s words of wisdom flow freely between the layers of ringing guitars”. Having competed in this year’s CITR battle of the bands, “SHINDIG”, THE INVADERS have played live on CITR’s Thunderbird Radio Hell in January.
THE INVADERS just completed a 5 song EP at Hush Studios in Burnaby with Vic Levak (Balligomingo/RCA/BMG New York) and Jerry Wong (Damn the Diva, Bif Naked).
THE INVADERS now have an independent A&R deal with Delinquent Records who will be representing them at top music conferences in France, Germany such as Midem. Pop Komm and Canadian Music week in Toronto.
The Invaders have a spot on This year’s “TEA South” Volume 4 Toronto Experimental Artists Compilation Disc.
The Invaders will be filmed in April as part of a 13 part Documentary series
Based on independent bands in North America by www.playindies.com
The Series is tentatively called “ The Green Room”.
