A Toronto band from the 1990s whose songs like 'Empty Eyes' and 'Sleepless Nights' hold a particular mood.
For a good sense of their style, try 'Let's Pretend That We're Giants' or 'Empty Eyes'. They're both pretty representative of what they do.
Jamies Elsewhere's music has a certain quality that some listeners connect with, using violin and keyboards alongside guitar work. Tracks like 'Empty Eyes' and 'One Foot In The Grave' reflect this sound. Their 1996 album 'Whore' came with some controversy that affected their image, even after charges were dropped.
They formed in Toronto in 1991 with Jamie Foulds on vocals and guitar, Laura Stein on violin and keyboards, Scott Johnston on bass, and David McCollum on drums. They released their self-titled debut in 1994, followed by 'Whore' in 1996, and kept making music through the late 1990s and 2000s with albums like 'Small Wonder' in 1999 and 'Failure' in 2006.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
