   About THE ILLUMINATI

The Illuminati are not a typical modern band. There is no gimmick. There is only the consuming roar of elegantly crafted rock music. Taking their name from the shadowy secret society purported to control the world, The Illuminati are the majority share of the now-defunct garage metal band Tchort.

They offer a refreshing return to musical virtuosity - conjuring wild spectres rock 'n roll's greatest legacies. Sneaky details like moments of metal-blues fusion and impeccably written noodley jazz codas recall a time before today's genre-bound constraints. It is time to expect more music. It is time to return to a sense of wonder. It is time for The Illuminati.

Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is the best.

that's very sad news... you'll be sorely missed.

Mar 22 2007 5:13 PM

This is a trick right? Just your way of building up a buzz before the next major offensive via a cryptic message that only almost says the band is done? Please tell me that's the case. This band is too good to break up.

Otherwise, how about a farewell show in Toronto? Wasn't there talk about a new album in the works? Is there unreleased material one could get their hands on?

Fuck!!! I just heard. One of the best Canadian bands ever.

Les, Nick, Jim, it was inspirational playing with you all of those times.

Thank you.

Mar 22 2007 11:39 AM

P.S. ....Exclusive rights to a post-breakup interview? ;) Come on, you know I gotta play the Us Weekly card, here.

Mar 22 2007 11:11 AM

:( R.I.P., Illuminati. I know I'll definitely see you guys around town (well, except for Les, because I think he must be a hermit, but at least Nick'll be found lurking around the bars), but your live tunage will be missed. Cheers to one of the coolest bands I ever shared cupcakes with!
