another 1000 miles are:

1) A Rock band based in the Toronto area of Canada. We are an original band (though our half
dozen or so covers a show or rehearsal might number tunes by Dylan, The Who, The Clash,
Spinal Tap, some Police b-side, a Beatles tune, or Austin Powers' band, if that tells you
anything about us). We do both a full on power-trio style electric show, and an energetic
semi-acoustic one scaled to venues more appropriate for that. I'm rather proud of the
fact that our music is eclectic and difficult to describe or pigeon hole easily. We are
3 very different musicians with surprising areas of overlap, and our music can often
reflect a lot of different things at once - classic hard rock, funky stuff, acoustic things,
tight power pop numbers, the odd trippy jam... rhythmic things drawn from Malcolm's
experience as an art rock drummer... we are about following our songs where they take
us and trying to meet them with what they need from us, more than imposing an overall
style, but I think what the songs are about and the way we deliver them hold it together.
We're available to play wherever it's cool to do mostly your own stuff, as we seem to do
well with that and actually don't know enough covers together to fill a night...
though maybe, if everyone was drunk enough...hmmm...

2) Another 1000 Miles Are:

Colin Halyk



I'm Colin, I write most of the text you see on this site
unless it says otherwise, because it's my job to run it! I play guitar and write and take
lead vocals on the bulk of the band's repertoire. I also produce the band's recordings
(though Mark takes a big hand in the engineering end) and play keyboards and do stuff
like sound effects editing and samples when we record. I live in Cambridge, Ontario,
Canada and come from not too far away. I put the band together when 2 of my best friends were
free to make music together and all living in the same province I was, finally, a little while back.

Mark Kuntsi



Mark Kuntsi is a musician we stole in his infancy from a mysterious nomadic tribe known
as Ernie's Coffee Shop, though he turned out to be a punk under that peace medallion!
Folks up in Tobermory know him from summers up there, he'd been wintering in Barrie,
say recent reports. Mark also writes and sings songs in the band, as well as being our
bassist, and playing some guitar when we record. Actually, he's a better guitar player
than me, but I can't play bass and sing at the same time, (or play bass at ALL as required by this
group, really), so... There ya go. He also plays all harmonica audible to date on our tunes!
He comes to us originally from Sault Ste. Marie, who traded him to us for more road salt
and a first round draft pick...

Malcolm Xerxes



MALCOLM XERXES is one of my oldest friends and the musician I've played with the longest
in this life, and, I suspect, in others! He lives and works out of Toronto with a busy
career as an actor and stuntman, but still parachutes in or occasionally rappels down
the wall to join us onstage. Malcolm drums for us, sings some support vocal work, imitates
animals, and provides percussion services when we record as well. He also serves as our
informal MC at shows while Mark and I run about the backline uprighting amps and trying to
figure out what's wrong or drink something! Malcolm hails from Manchester, England, by
origin, but that was before he was bit by a radioactive Londoner and became 'Theatre Man'.
He also occasionally soliloquizes!

(Malcolm passed on Sept. 13, 2005 - there is info about this elsewhere on the site.)
