I am Rias'sslave and over the years since my first serious musical experience in a band in the year 1989/90 in the Niagara region of Southern Ontario and following the death of my Father on 01/09/89, I began to plan my permanent relocation to Vancouver sometime during the winter of 1990\91. While playing together with a group of 4 to 5 (depending on whether 1 or 2 drummers/percussionists were participating making either a 5 or 6 member band including myself) longtime friends in the home of my Grandparents while house-sitting for them while they spent 5 months in the American South to escape the nasty winters of the great lakes region plus spending time with their daughter my aunt & my Father's little sister who had left On•scare•io upon a successful apprenticeship in Toronto's financial and business communities for a job offer in the Tampa Bay area where she had dreamed of living and working since she was in junior high school. With a plan of action in place upon finding a kindred soul in a singer without any real performances under his belt but a serious amount of natural talent, charisma and similar tastes in a varied & wide range of both professional and underground based musical acts plus he was the only member of my previous band who hadn't made the attempt of either outright stealing my songs (both music & lyrics) or trying to utilise my connections within the recording studio/ touring bands network that I had built up from my almost 2 years working at what was then Canada's best underground record store POPTONES/ or SLOTH as it was known after the owners' 2 year absence and unexpected return from Washington D.C. where he worked for P.E.T.A's main branch. Once my singer and myself had actually landed in Vancouver on the 20th of January 1991 we began to forge our musical identities and jamming with anyone we met who seemed to be both a unique musician in their own way while also being genuine in their deeds and actions. Our first mistake was that we were far too open and unwary of potential outright thieving scammers posing as someone or apart of something that seemed to be what we initially had started to be interested in checking into further as possible band members or sometimes just a new friendly face to hangout with building our new social circles but by the end 1993 it would come crashing down upon our heads and be forced out of the lower mainland for almost a whole year living in witness relocation o n Vancouver Island until what at the time really was the hardest betrayal by my closest group of friends & people in my life that wouldn't have even been on the west coast had i not either outright invited to come stay with my singer and myself and .leave Ontario with a guaranteed base to use to stay until homes,jobs & a way to exist had been found and proved strong enough to begin supporting themselves
