Introduction
Welcome to the LJ page dedicated to the three-piece band/art troupe BFBD from Toronto, Canada. A fusion of Punk, Electronic, Psychobilly and more make for this group's unique sounds and visuals.
What exactly does Canadian Psycho-Electro Punk sound and look like?! Does Punk exist in Canada?! How does the band get electricity to make the Electro part?! Well Punk does exist in Canada!! The electricity comes from dogsled wheels (think hamster wheels only bigger and colder)!
And now for the band members...
Godbout
vocals/guitar
Godbout is the undeclared band leader, having the most experience in music creation and the industry, he tends to be the brain behind the music as well as the voice that projects it. Godbout is a firm believer in that analogue is best, which can lend to the music's intrigue and also cause minor migraines while recording and producing new material.
B-Rex
bass/style...?
B-Rex is the band's bassist and claims to be in charge of style, although what exactly being in charge of style entails has yet to be discovered. B-Rex is a minority which leaves him vulnerable to racial attacks from the other band members, however he has the developed the innate ability to ignore the banter (good for you B-REX!) . B-Rex is also the unofficial art director for the group, and his manifestations of insanity spring up often.
Mr.Namakemono
keyboard/electronica
Mr.Namakemono plays keys for BFBD, he also loves getting his dirty hands on anything electric and would be a DJ if he had more energy and wasn't so slow... Namakemono can be viewed as the ying to Godbouts wang...err...yang...due to his belief in all things digital, although he is not opposed to analogue methods. A near death experience inspired Namakemono's band name, it's said that he was nearly slashed to death in a Japanese petting zoo by a sloth...his pretty face was left unharmed :)
