 A.gen.da : or Things to be done. The plural of agendum.
In the begining of May 2004, AGENDA The Rock Band was formed in a apt/studio of the plateau Mont-Royal in the heart of Montréal. Todd and Mee-Shka have known each other since 1997. They would both gravitate around good ol' buddy Goose's pad on St.Laurent Blvd. From throwing around ideas, and philosphizing while enjoying tea, Mike and Todd decided to get a project going. Ingrid, originally from Moncton, N. B. answered an Ad on the Web. She was just what they were looking for. With a solid classical background (She plays violin since the age of 7) she was just dying to break free into some uncharted territory. AGENDA was born.
AGENDA sees the light with over 60 songs waiting to be put together. Todd has written these songs over the past forteen years while travelling through Canada and while working at the most unlikely jobs. Todd has busked across Canada from Victoria to Montreal. The Montreal Metro (subway) is a great place for voice training and not a great place to make money, but when you get busy people to stop and momentarily forget where they are going, just to to listen, then you know you got someting good going.
In '97, Todd was lead singer of a band called SAMSARA, performing some songs that he still sings today. What a great apprenticeship. People are still talking about the energy that night at the now defunct Jailhouse Rock Cafe, opening up the evening for Pat Gauthier's RAID and Toronto's GUTSHOT.
Back in '89, Mee-Shka was the drummer for a local Montréal Metal band called REACTOR. A lot of drumming later, his last band being BENIGN, he brings along that experience to acomplish this agenda.
Experienced Bass player Goose brings along musicianship and versatility to this AGENDA.
January 05, ...AGENDA is presently recording and Auto-Producing their first album with the help of Grant “Goose” Cormack’s technical Saavy and Dave Galea’s great Valvetone Tube Amps and Hybrid Guitars. Chao!
AGENDA the Indie Rock Band from Montréal, Québec combines strong personnal lyrics with powerful infectious melodies to make great music!
