God's Gift to Yoda
Under the influence of decades of great guitar music from Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, Andy Summers, Radiohead and Ben Monder, God’s Gift to Yoda forges postmodern indie jazz-rock, challenging the boundaries of genre.
Following a sold-out debut performance, God’s Gift to Yoda have become a major player in the Toronto underground scene, and are now taking their music to a wider audience.
This collective features Don Scott (guitar), Harley Card (guitar), Michael Herring (bass) and Nico Dann (drums).
“Guitar warriors Harley Card and Don Scott form a searing melodic net that raises the rhythmic vehicle of Michael Herring and Nico Dann into something simply all-terrain.” – ATV Weekly
----------------------------
“Why not use the power of the two guitars?”
Harley Card, in the form of Yoda, received from God, the gift of his own planet. The problem was that the planet was invisible. Yoda (Harley) pleaded to God, “Lord, please render this gift planet visible to mine eyes!” The Lord revealed his gift unto Yoda (Harley), which unfortunately was the size of a basketball. Cut to Halle Berry on a ladder. A phone rings, awakening Harley (Yoda), it was Sandra, about the Biennale. Later that day, a band was born, with the power of two guitars, summarizing this dream: God’s Gift to Yoda. God’s Gift to Yoda then sewed together their first EP. The band descended on guitarist Don Scott’s bedroom, while bassist Michael Herring engineered with a bunch of rented stuff . It was sent home with drummer Nico Dann to Seamstress Records headquarters (his Dad’s house) resulting in “Scribble Man”.
WOO thanks guys. Well I, hear at the new myspace account, think "God's Gift To Yoda" is just in time for the holidays, and it's a damn good gift! sounds killin! Hope to see you over the break!

hey so... how many pedals do you guys have each? It's just that I've got a lot of things to do on the 21st but I might be able to come if you can promise distortion and phase shifting.
