Wounded Night's bio

Two friends reunite under an Asian sun and begin to rock again.

Picking up where they left off, Evan and Bryan started jamming at open mic nights, generating buzz and eventually began booking gigs at small pubs. Nameless, they found inspiration in the opening line of a song by Hamilton native Stan Rogers. This Canadian icon, raised not far from the duo's alma mater, moved to the Maritimes and found musical success. Christened Wounded Night, they hoped to do the same, albeit much further east.

At one such jam they met James, a Paiwan aborigine with experience in the Taiwan underground music scene. Music was in his bones and he bled the bass dry that night. Wounded Night had found her backbone.

Not long after, a drummer who worked up his chops at Bible Belt revivals, came to play one night. It was the first time Pete had played in four years, but no one could tell. He got the nod, and Wounded Night had found her heartbeat.

A dozen gigs later, with a local following in their blue collar hometown of Kaohsiung, Taiwan's kitchen where things are trade and made, the band continued to hone their sound. On a whim, the drummer invited Simon, an English sax player, to jam one evening. Having cut his gums playing with a ten piece jazz troupe, Simon's sax brought new dynamics - deepening the blues, giving pop to the dance beats and creating an unorthodox mix of mandolin/fiddle and sax lead riffs. Wounded Night had found her soul.

In the late fall of 2009 the band had been booked for seven shows in six weeks; momentum had begun to pick up for Wounded Night. One sunny Sunday afternoon on the road from a gig in Taipei to Basic Aid '09 (an annual charity concert held on a Puli mountain top), Wounded Night publicist/film maker Keith Duggan suggested arriving early to catch the Taichung band Hodala's act. The boys we held captive by the striking siren on lead vocals, Caitlin Elise. This West Coast Canadian shook the mountains with a style that the boys immediately agreed matched their own. Wounded Night had found her voice.

The band draws influence from roots rock greats: Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, The Band, Paul Simon, Tom Petty, The Beatles, Willie P. Bennett, Stan Rogers, Neil Young, and CCR to name a few.

The blues, rock, country, jazz and folk are all genres they cross, but don't fit. Reaching into the past they have created something novel for the present, that can almost be squeezed into roots rock.
