Artist: Bahamas Band Members: Afie Jurvanen With friends: Dave Azzolini, Leslie Feist, Greg Millson, Darcy Yates, Carlin Nicholson & Mike O'Brien High Res Photos: http://drop.io/bahamasbreeze Short Bio: Coming Soon Biography: Afie Jurvanen. hmmmmm.... A quick google search doesn't really shed much light on this guy. PasoMino, Great Lake Swimmers, The Stills, Howie Beck, Amy Millan, Jason Collett, Hayden and zeus all claim to have had played music with him and some of these artists even go so far as to include his name in their liner notes. Youtube footage confirms he's spent the last few years playing piano and guitar with Feist. He walks with a strange and haunted gait, due to a horrible knee injury suffered while on tour, and it's rumored that this might be what led to the appalling "shorts on stage" incident. No photo's of the crime have surfaced and the indie rock police are asking anyone with information to come forward. A Bahamas live show is likely to be a solo affair, though lately, a host of Toronto time keepers have been sitting behind the drum kit to accompany the Finnish-Canadian though a set of his so called "love songs." "Pink Strat," the title of Afie's debut record, and is most likely an homage to the very old, and very beat up looking Fender Stratocaster (www.fender.com) that he's been known to play. That's it.... That's all I got from all the blogs, and papers and twitters and spaceface pages out there. I guess we'll just have to wait to find out more....
