Enter us! TorontoÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Born Ruffians - Luke Lalonde, Mitch DeRosier and Steve Hamelin. We are the next link in the evolutionary chain of contemporary pop music, mixing drums, bass, and electric guitar, an almost unheard of combination, with bits of harmonium, piano and plenty of “hootin and hollarin' to create a sound we call “the best we could come up with!"

Being a genetically advanced Ã¢â‚¬Å“homo-superiorÃ¢â‚¬Â three-piece, originally from Midland, Ontario, weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve blazed through the United States of America and Canada twice, in our white, five-seater mini-van, leaving in our wake two clogged toilets and a clogged shower, one crashed into pregnant woman (the child is fine), and hopefully hundreds of satisfied fans. WeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re about to embark on that rambunctious journey once again.

Plants and Animals came together in 2001, the confluence of two friends who have been playing together since they were 12, and a third they met in the hallowed halls of Concordia University's music department. Warren Spicer is a sound recording professor, guitar hero and an increasingly sought-after producer on the Montreal indie scene, having produced and played in Timber!, Orillia Opry, David Macleod and Katie Moore. Matthew Woodley, aka le/the Woodman has also been a member of Timber!, Orillia Opry and Katie Moore, and has worked with Buck 65, Sixtoo and Wylie Spicer. Nicolas Basque, is one of Montreal's foremost composers of music for theatre, having received trophies for his work on some of the city's finest productions. Plants and Animals have shared bills with Patrick Watson, the Akron/Family, SoCalled, Land of Talk and Drums & Tuba, and in other incarnations, with Calexico and Iron & Wine. - MuchMusic
