Canis

There are multiple artists called Canis, including a noise rock band from New Zealand, a rock band from Indonesia, and a post rock band from Chile. 1. Canis were a noise rock band from Auckland, New Zealand. They were formed in 1992 by Paul Blanchard (vocals) and Gabriel Wilkinson (guitar), with an initial line-up that also included Derek Solomon (guitar), Phil Kusabs (bass), and Geoffrey Briggs of death metal group Entropy (drums). In 1994, Adrian Bergman replaced Briggs on drums and the album A Good Solid Flesh Crime was recorded. The final recorded output from Canis was 1998's “Sweet as a Sickle” session at York St Studios, which was recorded live over three days with Nick Abbott engineering. Soon after this session, the band broke up, with Bergman and Solomon moving to England, and Wilkinson moving to Nelson. Vocalist Paul Blanchard went solo as Hog Haul Valentine. 2. Canis are a four-piece Modern Rock / Funk band from Jakarta, Indonesia. Established in January 2013, the band consists of members of music projects from both the Jakarta and Bandung independent music scenes like Bard Shuffle and Kacang Mede. The band members are Iman Lazuardi (Guitar), Satrio Rama (Drums & Percussion), Ignatius Andreas (Bass) and Reynir Fauzan (Vocal). Canis' musical style combines Funk bass lines and guitar licks, a hard-beating signature Rock drum sound, the catchiness of Soul / Pop-esque vocal harmonics and the brilliant songwriting. 3. Canis are a post-rock band from Santiago, Chile. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
