Seven Story Redhead emerged in the fall of 04’ with a simple
goal: to create the leanest, most un-bloated rock-and-roll distilled from the
purest pedigree. Think early Kinks and The Who, and then add a healthy dose of
The Jam and The Clash - a sort of proto 60’s r&b punk band.
In deference to their ‘do-it-yourself’ ethos, the band
knocked off an initial seven song EP, “Super-Fancy Hobo” live in their
basement, recorded with two entirely inappropriate microphones which
none-the-less made the local campus radio charts.
A second EP, “Live From the Work-At-Home Institute”
benefited from having a song featured prominently on X 92.9’s Exposure program.
“I Was Yer Mate” received daily commercial airplay for more than five months
helping to generate an even broader fan base.
The Redheads third effort, a full length self titled album
was released in the fall of 2008 to much acclaim and further radio play.
They just released their fourth album, a 7” EP entitled
“Shake It Out!” which has already won them the much coveted X92.9 exposure
contest and is charting across Canada.
The band continues to bounce around Western Canada, playing
any stage that will have them and continuously recording new music in their
custom built rehearsal/ recording studio. In the band’s words, “The closer you
get to awesome, the better it gets”.
The Clash, the Velvet Underground, the Beatles, Babyshambles, Dandy Warhols, The Libertines, The Kinks, The Jam, The Libertines, Babyshambles, Dirty Pretty Things
