a late, dark eve in a little Calgary bar named Java Sharks, Fingers
Melone (guitar) of Cranston Fields sat sipping a cold one after
stepping off stage. As he relaxed another local band hit the stage,
amazing Melone with their skills and techniques.
Although Justin Gobin(drummer) and JR Olson (guitar)
of the Bru Ha knew not of Melone, he longed to work with these talented
musicians. In October, 2001, the threesome had their first jam session
at a local rehearsal studio. With consistent hard work and dedication,
Gobin, Melone and Olson began creating their own style of music
described as aggressive funk, jazz and rock combined with a little
improvisation to stir things up. February 2002 saw the addition
of Oren Gobin, Justin's brother, on bass to help round out
the talented group.
Known as SOULJACKER, the foursome hunted for a singer to
compliment their aggressive style of songs until Andy Krenz,
the former Bru Ha bassist expressed interest. Upon his return to
Calgary, it took only a few hours of jamming for him to lock up
the job. The voice was perfect. The band is now concentrating on
bringing their music to to the rest of Alberta, Canada, and beyond!
