The Get Down were formed literally from the ashes of legendary Edmonton Rock Assasins, Les Tabernacles. Their first show was to raise funds when guitarist/vocalist Pat Bourne's house was burned to the ground due to a random act of arson . Bourne, bassist Ken Eisenbarth and guitarist/vocalist Ted Wright lost over $10,000 in gear . Drummer Scott Davidchuck was thrown into the mix, and the Get Down was born. The sound that developed is a monsterous blend of grimy , noisy rock with shades of seventies icons, the Stooges, MC5 and Black Sabbath. and they are ready to blow your eardrums. They have toured with Sir Ian and C’MON, and shared the stage with Whitey Houston, Twin Fangs, Huevos Rancheros(who reformed just to play the benefit show that spawned the Get Down!!), the Vertical Struts, Hot Live Guys, and Spread Eagle . The Press is beginning to take notice as well, with feature articles in the Edmonton Journal( a feature article on hearing loss - haha!), and Exclaim magazine. They’ve already blazed across Western Canada a couple times leaving dropped Jaws and blown eardrums in their path. One such stop in Winnipeg led to the band being invited to join the Happily Dysfunctional rock juggernaut known as Transistor 66 Record Co. The boys' are currently in pre-production for their debut release on ’66 this Fall. You’ve ‘bin warned!
