Stemming from Vancouver's hotbed of local musical talent CATAPULT fuses progressive rock, metal, and pop blended with an acoustic southern influence. Dirty rock for the masses.Band/artist history
Conceived in 1997, forming CATAPULT proved to be more difficult than anticipated. Singer/Acoustic guitar player MYK SHAFLIK, who's past includes a long history in the Vancouver music scene with credits including, vocalist/songwriter for DemoLISTEN/SEEDS award winning band OPIUM UNDERGROUND, as well as SOUL DUST, JOKERS WILD, NASTY TOYZ, RANSOM, and a host of other cover and original bands. After years working behind the scenes in Vancouvers music community, Shaflik felt the itch to inject some solid Rock and Roll into the seemingly mundane Canadian garage indie scene. That, the birth of CATAPULT. Taking the month of December 04 off to re-evaluate the direction of the band MYK decide a new lineup was in order to spark the soul. With new members AUBRY TROTTER on drums, formerly of Victorias BELT and DECIPLES OF WAX FRUIT, AUBRY'S experience of progressive rock and metal strengthen the backline. Also acquired was JASON JD DEKONING on bass and support vocals. J.Ds history with MOTHERSON and LIQUID LOUD added some very solid grooves. His great ear for arrangement and songwriting skills are a definite plus for the band and their fan's, while helping CATAPULT place in the top 20 for Vancouver's CFOX SEEDS 05. 2006 will prove to be an exciting year as the buzz continues to grow around CATAPULT. However, feeling the pressure of the band's upcoming busy schedule, we are sad to see the departure of guitar player and good friend JAY JARVIS. The band hits the studio May 19, 2006 to set up the release of the EP, website and video. Live shows ongoingdont miss out!
UPDATE JUNE 08
After much confusion with the design of the band CATAPULT has decided that the original formula of MYK, JD, JAY and AUB was the best creative solution, so it's back together again. New trax due very soon.Have you performed in front of an audience?Vancouver, Vancouver Island. Look for a Canadian tour late '06.
