Sounds Like
Them. Or they sound like themselves doing something by
somebody else.
The Overplayers are a 4 piece Acoustic/Rock band in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. With two priciple songwriters and a huge catalog of covers they can play many types of events/venues. Biggest selling point of the band is the presense of brothers Danny & Matt Buzako up front now with Jimmy Dymond on lead guitar. Fun and entertaining is the mantra here.
Danny Buzanko has been writing/performing for different
groups for over 10 years now including Vampid & Graveyard
Western Sky. Matty Buzanko has been the bassist for those
groups and currently with the talented hip Hamilton
band, The Rest. James Richards was playing drums in the
Vancouver scene with The Sweaters among many other
projects. Not limited to drumming, he also took the
frontman duties playing guitar in rock/60's garage
rock/country bands.
Ok, so now you some facts about these guys....so
what?
Well an Overplayers gig is about having a good time
with some good tunes. These guys ain't no shoe gazers,
mirror watching, paint-by-number, cookie-cutter, rubber
stamping drones.
