The Doers

Hailing from Vancouver, The Doers are an acoustic, three-piece-folk-punk-soft-math-rock band with a pleasant smell and a firm handshake. Formed from 3/4 of the surviving members of Vancouver legends STATIONa, a band that recorded three LPs and was notorious for providing a wall of sound; often leaving its audience stramming for more or in an ambulence. In contrast to their roots, the Doers have managed to capture the intensity of STATIONa but with a portion of the volume, minus one member and far less gear.

They take listeners and viewers alike on a journey that partially resembles a Carlos Castenada novel, only with larger font and better prose. Having recently completed a double EP/LP that featured Sean, Barry and Jeff and guest Kathy Dube (The Cinch) the Doers formulated a beautiful, aggressive, soothing, tantric record. The record also includes cameos from the likes of the legendary Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE). Other cameos include Joel Tong (Black Rice), Juli Steemson (Black Rice), Jesse Gander (DBS, Operation Makeout), and the infamous John Cow (Northland Lumber, Honeycow). Luckily for everybody, the Doers are coming to a town near you and they're not just going to hang out and drink this time. Yessiree, they're coming and they're going to play the hell out of the place. And just like the big sweaty teddybears that they are, they're open and available to speak with anyone curious about their recent happenings.
