Bio / Background

Meeting Annesley Black was the best thing that happened to Joellen Housego in music school. The two neophyte singer-songwriters immediately recognized each other as kindred spirits and formed The Special Interest Group in 2001. (A point of interest: the band was almost called "Plump Nun"!) They were soon joined in their folk-pop endeavor by some stellar local musicians: multi-instrumentalist Randy Peters (Church of Harvey Christ, Dante's Flaming Uterus), Mike Makhan (Lake of Stew) and jazz bassist Mike Schulein.

The Special Interest Group has performed in Montreal and Ottawa with Jordi Rosen, Iz Cox, Elizabeth Powell, Annabelle Chvostek, Clark and Fog. Audiences claim to be alternately cracked up and choked up by the band's live performances, especially when they sing four-part harmony wearing witches' hats. Their first album "Bright Occasion" (2003) has been embraced warmly by listeners from Montreal's musical community and beyond.
