Editor's review
Canada's Great Conspiracy are masters of the distorted pop hook, while quirky interludes only reinforce their songwriting brilliance. The Great Conspiracy reclaim pop music from the cold, dead hands of Hollywood producers; you heard it here first. Weezer, do not pass go.
Biography
The Great Conspiracy was started in 1995 by Evan Clarke and Brodie Ketelsen, high school jazz band mates. Evan had been writing songs, and the two had been jamming together in the band room during lunch hours. When Evan?s Dad asked if he could play for a Rotary function, he accepted and the band was formed. Since then the two have played many gigs together, with many different bass players and additional guitarst/vocalists. Kyle Stratton was added to the band in 2000, and was a good fit immediately. The trio (with another guitarist) played a number of shows together, until Kyle left for a mission for his church to Japan for 2 years. 6 months later, Evan left for his mission to England, and Brodie moved to Vancouver to go to University. Evan and Brodie finally got back together in the summer of 2004 to record, and the band finally was reunited Jan. 2005. They are currently playing gigs around western Canada, in search of corporate support.
