THERE IS A NEW SONG!!!!!!!!!!

.j. & m

A SHORT HISTORY OF ATS

****Most recently Mike and Jarrod were sort of lost. They were involved in a couple of new projects that never really left the ground. They haven't been performing but might be doing so in the near future....and quite possibly under a new name??
Any suggestions?

So far we've been tossing around many ideas and a few apples too.

This biography may sound strange but we will gladly take all the blame in this situation because, hmmm we wrote it. We hope that our sound will stop you while you drive and make you wonder. We hope that our sound will echo through your bedroom and flood your brain with memories. We hope that our sound will make you cry about the happiest times of you life and smile about the saddest. We hope that our sound can make the introverts extroverts and vice versa. We hope that our sound will cause you to, without explanation, tell all of the immediate people in your vicinity how "tomorrow is your day to take over the world". Okay, maybe that last one is a bit of a stretch but come on isn't that the goal of music: to make everyone feel invincible and ready to conquer every aspect of their lives?
On stage we have essentially perfected (over the many, many years we have performed together) the art of tricking all listeners into believing 2 things: (1) We are a singer/songwriter duo & (2) We have the ability to see through space and transcend time. We really want people to listen intently to our words while we play, but we also honestly deep down just want to create a sing-a-long a la 'sesame street'. If people do sing or clap along we tend to shy away from the attentionif people don't sing or clap (or yell at us with expletives) we get concerned that 'no one got it'. We like to play so hopefully you'll like to listen.
On a more serious note Mike and Jarrod have been performing in one form or another since the beginnings of time (see we really do truly believe this). On the great empty plains known as "Southern Ontario" our friendship emerged in the halls. After acknowledging that our musical minds could better serve everyone as a single entity we began to create. and create we did. Over the years our collaboration has taken on several different versions. Morphing from the simple acoustic duo; but remember not like the Simon & Garfunkel's, more like the Cedrics' & Omar's (AKA The Mars Volta); to an acoustic fronted 5 piece and back again (on two occasions).
On a slightly less serious note we are represented as a band by an 18 inch garden gnome named Simon. In as few words as possible, we were essentially betrothed with Simon, on the eve of our newest/current project and he has remained with us ever since. Not only does Simon act as a mascot for the band, but he is also the perfect scapegoat, because seriously we never behave badly . Honest. Hopefully after reading this you will be interested instead of frightened. If you are interested welcome, and thank you.
Cheers,
Jarrod & Mike & Simon
