Hailing from Maryland, this hard rock duo combine the heavy guitar riffs inspired by guitarist Kyle Augustino's favorite bands, which include 70s/80s heavy metal acts such as Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Van Halen, with Keyboardist Luke Hoffman's thoughtful, streamlined, melodic keyboard sections, inspired by his love of progressive rock bands such as Yes, Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Dream Theater . Together, the two have found common ground, finding interesting, entertaining ways to merge both crunchy distorted guitar with wailing synthesizers into a trail mix of prog metal.

Eddie deSouza Moves to Quesnel

	When Touring, 1989 in a Duo Called “Eddie & Julia” I noticed the prices of houses in Quesnel was at least 30% below the rest of the province of BC. This along with central location, we could get to Prince Rupert, Vancouver, Calgary, Fort St John, Edmonton, the Okanogan & the Kootenays all within a 500 mile radius, I decided to buy a house here. After looking at 10 houses the only one that was offering Vender Financing was a diamond in the rough & the present location of the Cool Cat Recording Studio. ( It Still Is a Diamond In the Rough! ) 
	In June of 1990 I moved to Quesnel & took possession of my house, while doing the very last performance with Julia Bambrough at the Billy Barker Hotel. Julia did not share my vision of making a home here & decided to stay in Vancouver where she has done well for herself, with a full time job in the respite industry as well as continuing to play and sing. 
	It was a challenge going from a full sounding Duo to a Solo act but the work was there so I continued touring Alberta & BC . In the Summer of ’91 I had a 8 week whole in my touring dates & decided to head up to the Yukon, on my Wild & Crazy tour,  Managed to land a gig in Fort Nelson at Trappers for two week & I was half way to White Horse. Anna Mea at the Capitol Hotel gave me an audition although she was booked till October. She gave me the booking in October  & suggested that I take the Stuart/ Cassia HWY back & see some more of the Wild West.  
	On the drive I stopped at the Glacier Inn in Hyder Alaska  & Big Jim Hired me for the 5 weeks, playing for the late crowd that came over from Stuart because of the laws that pubs could stay open till 4 am. I also did a Matinée on Sundays for the Children who were allowed into the pub for the show. This is where I wrote my first two Children’s songs.  Then  my tour of BC & Alberta continued.   Lethbridge, Mackenzie,  Prince Rupert, Spirit River, Napa,  White Court, Golden, Pentiction, Prince George, Williams Lake, 100 mile, Lilloett, Dawson Creek, Beaver Lodge, High Level,  Huston,  Smithers & Quesnel are a few of the Towns & Cities that I got to play in. 
	After playing for a Month at the Capital in White Horse I needed a break so headed home to Quesnel. I was asked to play for the CDC telethon in 91 & while looking for props came across a wig… which turned  me into Eddie Spaghetti & I created a musical review and 13 characters & performed for at least 15 years. With 4 CD releases. 
	Also in 91 I wrote a song called “Steal the Thunder” which lead to touring BC doing multicultural workshops with the BCTF.  The song was later adopted as the Multicultural Theme song of the Quesnel Multicultural Society and adopted as one of the official Canada Day Celebration songs by the Kiwanis Club in 93. 
	In 1992 I was asked by the Dene Voyageur Heritage Society to write a song for the Voyageur Festival to be held July 1 1993. I wrote the song called “The Alexander Mackenzie Bicentennial Voyageur Festival Song”  which featured Frank Garden for the Europeian, our MLA at  the time, BopPinchbeck sang for the natives & Victor Cronley  as the voice for the young Canadians. They were joined by a choir of the best Men Singers in Quesnel as well as the Correlieu Secondary School choir and Vicki Nelsons class from Baker Elementary School for a total of over 70 people lending their voice. On Lebourdais stage we had over 100 people singing for a crowd of 5,000. 
	Roy Carson the Musical Director at Correlieu Secondary School asked me to write a song for his choir. I asked the Youth two Questions, and wrote “We have a Dream to Share With You”  from their responses.  Roy & I had a lot of fun working together & he asked me to join him on a project he was working on, a tribute to the Cariboo called the Skedaddlers.  We worked on recording about 11 songs, 7 from the gold rush era, three of mine & one of his original songs. 
	In ’92 I wrote a song for safe streets called “Take Back The Night” and performed it an many TBTN rally’s and in ’95 I played it at Roxanne  Thiara’s funeral. The same night I was on stage at the Legion in Quesnel & my Duo partner got called to the Hospital, his mom had passed away. That night is when I decided to not play in bars anymore, so while honoring any work we had, I did not book any more bar gigs, Choosing to focus on building a better world with songs like “Set Them Free” ( Amnesty International ) “Be Smoke Free” ( Cancer Society)  The Lions Lead the Way ( Quesnel Lions Club)  “Fly on Your Own” (Quesnel Elks Club)  “Walk For Peace & Back to The Family” for world peace.
	1996 was the year that “The Billy Barker Days Festival Song” was written and recorded with the top musicians in Quesnel and an adult Choir joined by Mrs. Sison’s grade 3 class.
	1997  “Lest We Forget”  was recorded on November 11 after the performance at the Legion. Bill Higgens Thought it would make a good Bag Pipe tune & he wrote an arrangement and together with Al Piette we re-recorded the song in 1998.
2000 a song called Asking Questions was written & I asked people from 9 different cultures to translate “How Can We Fill the World With Love?” into their languages.  We Recorded it on September 8 2001.

2000 I was asked to work with the Youth of Nazko & Started the “School of Joy & Self Esteem with Music, Games & Sports” We did Karaoke, had health seminars & toured the Police Station, as well as lots of Pot luck Dinners, concerts &  learned lots together.  This is when I wrote “Nazko Valley Carrier” “Be Proud of Who You Are”  & “Mirror Man” to name a few.  Aboriginal Education in Quesnel has been using “Nazko Valley Carrier” for the past 10 years in their teaching Carrier courses. 
	After 9 11 I took a break from writing for a while but in 2003 wrote “Quesnel My Home”  just before going on the road with Bobby Cole doing a variety act around the province of BC.  Stopping in Quesnel long enough to help with the Tsunami relief dinner which raised over $3,000 for the Salvation Army.
	In 2006 I was hired to teach music to the Takla Youth at the Nuswadeezulh Community School in Takla Landing. I was also asked to teach the youth about the value of water & what Kemmes mines wanted to do to Dunkley Lake ( Turn it into a tailings dump ) I wrote a song Called “Water” & got the Youth to help sing it. Before we could finish the recording the school year ended & fate would have it that the new band government chose not to renew my teachers contract. 
	2008-09 I was working at Quesnel Music, while making a living the amount of students left very little for creative work. In the Fall of 2009 I started a show on Shaw Cable called “Be a Cool Cat”  which Steve at Shaw said he got a lot of good comments about & he asked me to do some more, in November 2009 I Created  “You’re the Star!” which as of November 13, 2010 we have done 34 Episodes featuring local and passing through Songwriters & Musicians. We are also planning a DVD release called “The Best Of You’re The Star!”  hopefully by December.
	Future plans? While attending a revitalization of the gold rush trail seminar hosted by The Cariboo Chilcoltin Coast Tourism  Tourism Association & the Quesnel Chamber of Commerce,  I got inspired to create a Musical Review,  focusing on the History of Quesnel From  the Past to  the Present. We will need lots of musicians & lots of Dancing Girls!

It was in 1998 that Sick Run’s passion for Drum & Bass and broken beats took off. Inspired by
artists such as Bryan Gee or Mampi Swift, Sick Run slowly but surely realised that simply listening
to tunes and mixes couldn’t satisfy his needs to be a part of the scene. So three years later, in 2001,
he started practising on the decks. Soon the Landau based DJ regularly released mixes, ranging
from Liquid over Neurofunk to Jump Up. Shortly after, his work was rewarded when he was invited
to play at various parties in the area.
Since then Sick Run has also started producing Drum & Bass music and boasts releases on
SDD Enterprise (UK), Stickybass Records (BE), and  (Germany). His tunes
vary in style and are proof that Sick Run’s music cannot be categorised into one subgenre of Drum
& Bass alone. Sick Run doesn’t let style restrict his creativity and aims to invent himself anew in
every piece of music he creates. The only rules that apply to his sound are high quality production
values and a vibrant flavour to ensure happy listeners. From dancefloor-smashing anthems to relaxed
Sunday afternoon vibes – Sick Run offers it all! Deep and dark basslines as well as funky and
melodic grooves or the wobbling filth of new school Jump Up can be found in Sick Run’s productions.
Sick Run’s open mind for every style of Drum & Bass is also reflected in his DJ sets and is
what makes him so unique.
Since 2011 Sick Run is also a resident DJ at the Woodbass Sessions events in Sinsheim and the
host of Sick Run’s Night Bass which started in 2012. Reflecting Sick Run’s versatile approach
to Drum & Bass, Night Bass offers a diverse lineup of established and up and coming artists
that represent the whole spectrum of the music.
