biografía : Golden Smoke
The individual members of Golden Smoke have impressive track records in their own rights, enjoying a great deal of success in a number of different genres and groups, but have crossed one another regularly dating back to the late nineties in western Canadian cult acts Blood Music, This Island Ugetsu, Watercolor Movement and the aforementioned Sunndown. The Band consists of Drummer/Multi-Instrumentalist Terry Mattson (Front man of indie-rock royalty The Junior Pantherz), Chad Munson (formerly of Victoria’s American Geography, also known as Foal to those hip to the minimal electronic scene), Vocalist and Guitarist Chris Laramee and Bassist Charles Lemire (Vicious Crystals, Blood Music).
Golden Smoke released their debut Self Titled album December 2008 on Somnambulist Sound System and played shows extensively promoting the album sharing the stage with such Indie Rock luminaries as Pride Tiger, Ladyhawk and Quest For Fire. Autumn 2009 the band started work on their sophomore effort "Resurrection City" with Engineer/ Producer S.J. Kardash (Violent Kin, The Bloodlines). "Resurrection City" saw the band leave some of their smokey psych dirge behind, in favor of an acid burnt Stones vibe. After the completion of the record the band dissolved.
After a year of silence Golden Smoke have regrouped with Shelby Gaudet filling the low end duties. "Resurrection City" will be released via Somnambulist Sound System May 2010.
