trike
trike is a pop band. however, not in any traditional sense of the word, a more specific classification might be electro-pop-folk with an experimental edge.
trike is a collective project, spearheaded by stephen taylor that has taken on many forms over the last few years. many of the songs are written by taylor, but other songs feature various other contributors, which add to trike's unpredictable sound; from the sleepy, dylanesque song stylings of wes g knight to the poetry of katrin bowen. many of the current electronic drum programming is thanks to dutch electronics wizard, alex van de meer who continues to play in trike, although via the internet.
trike was born a few years ago in montreal under the name zipperhead. trike has played in montreal, vancouver, berlin and various cities in holland.
stephen taylor was also part of the dutch/ canadian electro-pop duo, short cut.
wes knight has been part of a few music projects in ontario: http://wesknight.com/
