The name may sound like a B-grade, drive-in horror flick, but....
it's the name of a raw and raunchy trio from Canada’s capital, Ottawa, who have been gathering a growing legion of fans, and a reputation for intense stage shows. Their sound is real rock’n’roll, with a roots-rock flavour. The band can easily do a rocking surf instrumental with the fervor of Dick Dale, and, in a heartbeat, shift gears to roll right into a rockin’ rockabilly rave up, or a Stooges influenced, feedback infused, pounding rock’n’roll song.
Since forming in the summer of 2005, this trio has been regularly playing many of Ottawa’s live music venues, as well as traveling to play various clubs in Toronto, Montreal, London, Hamilton, Peterborough, and several other towns in Southern Ontario. They performed at the 2008 Ottawa Blues Festival, one of the most popular music festivals in North America. Their original material, as captured in their recordings (see below) matters most, but for their live shows, the band likes to have fun by whipping out some heavily “Evil-ized” versions of songs by the likes of Max Webster, Dick Dale, Black Sabbath, Tom Waits, Deke Dickerson, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn, Link Wray, and, even Alice Cooper.
Evil Farm Children are:
• Dave Kerr - Guitar and lead vocals; Former bands: DeadBeatDads, WizzleTeeth.
• Janice Fitzsimmons - Bass, lead and backing vocals; Former bands: The Ambassadors, Revv Engine.
• Jeb Bond - Drums, background vocals; Former bands: The Restless Virgins, Screaming Bamboo, Fenton Brothers, Purple, Evil Kneivel, Tall (Baton Rouge, LA), Freudhammer.
In the fall of 2006, Evil Farm Children (EFC) released Knuckle Duster. The 5 original songs on the CD demonstrate the band’s range from surf, to country, to psychobilly. The CD charted on both CKCU and CHUO in Ottawa, and was selected as one of the best local releases of 2006 by several CKCU DJs. The Knuckle Duster CD has received airplay on Hoboken’s independent radio station, WFMU, which broadcasts throughout the New York City area. The title song, Knuckle Duster, was included in the soundtrack to the independently produced documentary Project Canada (http://projectcanada.org).
Evil Farm Children’s second release, Evil Farm Children II: The Evilling, was officially released in September 2008. It includes 8 original songs, and one cover song, a surf-rock version of Hangover, by Canada’s legends of the 70’s, Max Webster. On this release, Dave Kerr sings lead on 5 of the tracks, Janice Fitzsimmons sings one, and the remaining 3 tunes are instrumentals. The new album charted on both CKCU and CHUO in Ottawa, and made the !earshot top 50 chart for March 2009, by receiving spins from stations like CHRW (London), CHRY (Toronto), and CJAM (Windsor). It also received airplay on WFMU (Hoboken NJ) and KSER (Everett, WA).
Just in time for Halloween 2009, Evil Farm Children premiered the video (which can be seen on their myspace page, or on youtube) for their zombie love song from The Evilling, Brain Buffet. Shot in Toronto in August ‘09, the video was directed by Geoff Whitman of Favours for Friends Pictures in Toronto, who also directed the zombie short film Bum of the Dead, which features EFC on the closing credits soundtrack.
Evil Farm Children have just completed recordings of 2 new songs, and plan to release them in March 2010, on a 45 RPM, 7” piece of vinyl. Watch for it!
