CONTRIVED
***************************
Contrived is a 5 piece rock band with principal members from Juno Award winners Wintersleep and Juno/Polaris nominees Holy Fuck. Their latest project has led them into a sound direction incorporating their hard rock roots and expanding on their pop sensibilities. Contived recorded their third full-length album blank, blank, blank at Sonic Temple Studios in Halifax. Lending a hand at the mix is Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene, Super Furry Animals).
Originally formed in Halifax, Contived quickly built a loyal following based on the talents evident on their self-produced debut Pursuit of Plots (2002) and their sold out live performances. The ultra-limited Starshine EP (200 pressings) sold out as quickly as they could be produced before a second Dead Air Verbatim was recorded with Andy Magoffin (Two Minute Miracles) in 2005. The band then embarked on an Exclaim! sponsored Cross-Canada tour with Dependent Music label mates Wintersleep, Holy Fuck and Jill Barber before concentrating on their other musical commitments.

THE TOTAL CAMBLE EXPERIENCE
***************************************
First there was Dr. Albert Schweitzer, then Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and now, finally, we see the third evolutionary step in the progression of humankind, and it is Camble.
Formed through the ingenious concoction of pure human will, the need for an audience, and an auspicious collection of barely legal pornographic material, The Total Camble Experience is the closest thing you can do to having sex with an explosion.
An eclectic mix of slow funk, fast punk and dried spunk, the Total Camble Experience is a progressive electro-rock movement aimed squarely at punching you in the back of the neck when you're the most emotionally vulnerable.
With a list of personal and musical accomplishments that include performing in front of a picture of Ronald Reagan, all the way to having killed a bear before, the Total Camble Experience is Camble.
