HOLZKOPF & KELLY CHURKO ROCK MAIN STREET SUMMER 2006
TOUR
+ a couple of other events

Holzkopf

Fresh off of a Baltic tour with fellow Canadian
Nuthre, Holzkopf (Jake Hardy) returns to Vancouver,
having previously played at The Sugar Refinery, Signal
& Noise, and Fnord. His unpredictable, genre-defying 
approach can leave you "feeling as fresh as a daisy
patch, uncontrollably trampled by a hundred rusty
machines chugging along to the discarded rhythms of
hip hop, break-beat, free jazz and acid house", while
offering sounds of "melodic strings being pushed
between walls of mid-range noise and clumsy
rhythms...clunky guitar inspired by cold beer and
sunny days." He has gained a fan base throughout
Canada and abroad, performing alongside Andrew Duke,
Vitaminsforyou, Venetian Snares, Cex, and We Are
Wolves and appearing on compilations from the UK,
Italy, USA and Japan with Pita, Massimo, Jetone and
others. Solo releases and mp3s can be found from a
diverse set of 
Canadian labels, including No Type, Nishi, Severed
Digit, nOnCapable, and Dainty Death.
"Interesting mix of electro like a head-on collision
of Boards of Canada and Third Eye Foundation with Wolf
Eyes and Merzbow. Noisy yet serene, if that makes
sense. Downtempo sexiness to drill and bass noise
onslaughts. Really great stuff."
-Zookeeper Online

Kelly Churko
Born into a musical family, Kelly Churko studied
classical piano with his father at an early age and
toured Canada with the family band, playing country
music. Later completing the jazz studies program at 
Vancouver Community College, he majored in electric
guitar and formed musical partnerships with groups
such as Eye of Newt Collective and the harsh noise
trio Hospital. Now a resident of Tokyo, where he
performs with atmospheric duo Lethal Firetrap and is
sought after as a mastering engineer. He occasionally
returns to Vancouver to play with Almost Transparent
Blue and other groups during the jazz festival. His
solo 
work involves guitar, laptop, electronics, and/or
theremin.
