   About SIMIAN SPECIAL
Simian Special is a four piece West coast Canadiana art rock band in the vein of The Rheostatics and Big Wreck meets David Bowie and The Cure. We create stylish soaring melodies over pure driving rhythms that will stand the tests of time and industry! Forming the band in late fall 2007 / early 2008 the well versed members of Simian Special released their debut album in February 2008, entitled "The Cougar Stands It's Ground". They've gigged everywhere possible in the Lower Mainland and played a handful of summer festivals right out of the gate, winning over many strong new fans in the process.

Max Arnason - Lead Vocals + Production
Other Projects - Kooper Kain + Martin Tielli + Roadbed

Jeremy Butler - Bass + Vocals

Simian Special is proud to call Vancouver B.C. their home. We will release our sophomore album entitled "Hello In General" in summer 2009. After that we will be actively broadening our loyal fan base with many new shows in the coming months, as well as some subsequent touring to bring our music to those who can't get to us.

I would have liked to have stuck around, but I had to get to a music related meeting by nine. I also wanted to hit the set list twice through for the gigs we got coming up 23rd and 24th. Jay.

Great show at the Railway. The band sounded incredible. Everyone played for the music, and not for themselves. Excellent chemistry. Jay.
