After the Troops Leave

Ottawa, ON

After the Troops Leave...(ATTL) is a musical formation from Ottawa, Ontario, which has emerged on the local Ottawa scene following the the demise of Sydney's Moon, which had been, up until very recently, the primary musical vehicle for Kier and Graham for the last three years. Matt Aston plays Drums and Mike Napiorkowski plays bass. ATTL formed out an interest in focusing on the potentialities of their music as a means of reflecting the socio-political context which surrounds us, and to absorb the nature of a world filled with violence and conflict through music and through performance. After the Troops Leave... operates from the understanding that art is about the process of understanding and exploring the struggle and pain of life, through the days which destroy the night, and the nights which divide the days. Art is about breaking through...
