It's not all that often that original, creative and talented musicians come from hard work and persistance. Nowadays it seems like some of the biggest money makers are formed, and produced by some bigger company. And it's especially tough to find such amazing artists in a city like Edmonton. Not to say that it doesn't happen, just take a look at Christian Hansen and the Autistics. They were one of Sonic's only lasting Bands-of-the-Month, and their rising populartiy is taking them to Toronto. Well, Christian and his wife, Molly Flood, who plays keyboards etc in the group. Two of the bands original members are unfortunately no longer part of the move, and current drummer, Doug Organ, and bassist, Doug Hoyer, will also be staying in Edmonton. Once they're settled they'll be trying to immediately find a new drummer and bassist to round out their quartet, as well as releasing sophmore album "Dance Floor Deathcore", and two new music videos (one of which yours truly is in!).

It's tough to see a group like Christian Hansen & the Autistics leave Edmonton, but hope for them creating bigger and better things in Eastern Canada is the only thing pulling me through.
