Atomic 7 was a Canadian instrumental rock trio formed in 1998, and led by its only constant member, former Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet guitarist Brian Connelly.[1]

Atomic 7's music is completely instrumental; the band didn't even use vocal microphones on stage. According to one reviewer, "Every album contains about a 50/50 mix of country/swing and spaghetti western/surf/spy tunes."[2] The band's most recent line-up was Brian Connelly on guitar, Mark Duff on drums and Brad Keogan on bass.

History[edit]

Their debut album, Gowns by Edith Head was released in January 2003, and featured Brian Connelly on guitar, Clinton Ryder on double bass and Mike Andreosso on drums.[3][4][5][6]

That album was followed by ...En Hillbilly Caliente in June 2004, with Mandi Bird taking over for Ryder on bass.[7][8][9][10]

In February 2007, the band released their third and final album ... Something For The Girl With Everything.[11]
