| About bad mr frosty |
|
...Bad Mr Frosty (aka John Peer) established a name for himself as one of Eastern Canada's top hard rock keyboardists back in the late 1980's, before moving to Vancouver to play and compose all original music. While living and working on his fishing charter boat for seven years, he became an electronic rave/after hours performer during the mid to late '90's.
Peer began as the keyboard player for the Eastern Canadian band Portrait in 1986, then toured full time for 5 years in a bunch of cover/original bands including Stages, XSNRG, Dawn Patrol and the Toronto band Kick until joining the all-original hard rock band "Brave New World", from Vancouver BC in 1993.
He later co-founded the groove-core band "Yeah Whatever", before leaving Vancouver in 1998, and moving to the UK where he lived from 2000-2007, spending a couple winters working and playing in Central America as well.

...From 1986 until 2008, Peer has played keyboards for, recorded with, and been booted out of numerous bands, including Portrait, Stages, XSNRG, Dawn Patrol, The Demo Factory, Kick, The Ray Myers Band, The Dinosaurs, Brave New World, Yeah Whatever, Sweet Tooth, Jimmy C and the Blues Dragons and "Remedy". In addition he appeared solo/with DJ's in the electronic scene in the UK, Canada and Central America.
He is currently (2008) playing and recording with Halifax NS based techno-funk bad Streel, (www.myspace.com/streelband) and the funk-pop group "Remedy" .

History;
fRosTy became known for his insane analogue synth work, and "church-organ-from-hell" Hammond B3. He also opened 2 after-hours clubs (the 151, Palace after Dark)) as well as the after-hours "pirate boat" moored by BC Place for the summer of '95 as well as 151 W7th (at Cambie) AKA Pirate's Island Studios (Hello to any survivors!). ...In 1998 he finally remembered to leave BC, after one year had stretched to seven, and returned to the East Coast to join Canadian Indie funk-rock band Sweet Tooth. After the 2001 release of their second album ("Gimme Some", available at HMV.com and Sam's bargain-bin near you) fRosTy relocated to the UK where he lived between Liverpool and Manchester for 7 years before returning to Canada in 2008.
He spends several weeks each year recording and gigging with electro-funk band "Streel" from Halifax, Canada, featuring Steve Harley on Guitar/vox and Jim Bond on bass.
