Things like that are important to us. Guitarist Jon Middleton handles the singing and songwriting duties, while Vizer keeps the beat moving with his crisp playing, and adds texture with an array of percussion instruments.
Together, it's like Jack Johnson playing with Beck. The pair first met at the University of Victoria. Vizer, 28, was attending college in Vancouver at the time, but transferred to Victoria after clicking musically with Middleton, He's one of those guys where you don't really notice that what he's playing is very difficult to pull off.
He does it quite easily and he's always bringing fresh cool stuff. He plays off the drums and he listens. A listening musician is something I really value. Momentum grew with the follow-up, Another Noon, which came out last year and appeared on several bloggers' best-of lists. Also encouraging was the fact that Volkswagen used a Jon and Roy song on a television commercial that had a nine-month run in some parts of the U.
We saw what the Mac commercial did for Feist," Vizer says. Their last few concerts have sold out, and they are back on the road. Both are taking time off their jobs Vizer is a cook for a friend's company, while Middleton works at a make-your-own-wine establishment to make their way across Canada, landing at Algonquin College on Feb.
Plans are also in the works to record another album this spring. As for the wisdom of launching a career in music in uncertain economic times, Vizer says "we've put so much of ourselves into this career, we would be fools to stop at this point.
Although the money doesn't ever actually find its way down to us, we're going to keep going and see where it takes us. Together Jon Middleton vocals, guitar and Roy Vizer drums, percussion are touring through Canada with full time bass player Ryan Tonelli in tow and stopping in Vancouver where Jon has been invited to sing the national anthems for an NHL game.
Jon and Roy are rich. Playing for the lovely locals of Victoria under the sun, sharing sangria with a hundred or so strangers from around the world in Byron Bay Australia and seeing copies of their albums make it to the flea markets of Brazil is. Jon and Roy began playing music together years ago. Jon was deep into reading about the Politik and Roy was reflecting on the striking similarities between apes and humans.
