biographical info
The Armadilettantes do not take part in standard musical procedures or
textbook formulas. Combine a metal-head drummer, a classically-trained
pianist, a pop producer on guitar, and a country-rock veteran on bass
and the result is surprising. You end up with indie rock that contains
a sense of aggression, ingenuity, and clever song writing. This
Vancouver-based band has spent the last year cutting their teeth in
bars, basements, clubs, art galleries, and the bottom of an abandoned
print shop. Their stage show has gained them a reputation for sonic
intensity and a propensity for self-inflicted injury. The
Armadilettantes are from the future - the future with jet packs, flying
cars, and weekly trips to outer space.
"For a young band like this, there's nowhere to go but up, and I can't wait to see them at the top in a few short months."
