Driven by passion and fueled by experience, such is the engine known as A Texas
Funeral. Created not so much by the desire to create something new but rather by that of standing the test of time, this band's music can only speak for itself. In their first year, A Texas Funeral have already managed to build a consistent fan base and a regular show schedule, including dates with the The Flatliners (Stomp) and Much The Same (Nitro).

Having overcome the hurdles of sharing creative space with chose to half a dozen musicians before settling on the final lineup, A Texas Funeral's story is certainly worth being told. Guitarist Pavlo Haikalis, better known from his time with Dead For Twenty Days and Bleeding Orange, as well as being Chief Engineer at 408 Studios, originally paired up with members of what has now become Explode and Rebuild. Inviting stranger Daniel Santiago for vocals on these sessions was certainly a blessing. Daniel's tremendous vocal power, unparalleled passion, and crooning tenor immediately caught the ear of the seasoned guitarist, and the pair quickly formed a bond in which their partners were quickly left behind. The ambitious duo auditioned other bassists and drummers for months before finding Nick Kaars, recently transplanted from Toronto. Nick's broad musical influences and inherent talent as a bassist quickly cemented the trio, but still time passed and drummers came and went. Ironically enough, the answer to all the group’s problems was right in their face. Fellow
jamspace-mate Eric Perusse, hanging out after his own band practice as singer for Bleeding Orange one night, offered to fill in on drums as the band was setting up. Within a few hours, Eric brought the perfect match of driving rhythm and solid structure to fuse the 4 musicians into one well-honed unit.

Now well established on the Montreal scene, A Texas Funeral is soon ready to release
their first EP, recorded at Pavlo's very own Studio 408. Blending styling's often associated with the likes of Moneen, Saosin or At The Drive-In, and adding vocal tones resembling The Strokes or The Smiths, the 8 track opus is certainly a piece of work to be accounted for. Accompanying the release of this EP with a musical video and a summer tour in the works, A Texas Funeral will certainly make their mark on the Canadian scene in months and years to come.
