Fraser MacKenzie

The group got its start when Brian and Fraser met while playing in other prominent local Vancouver bands. Fraser had just finished recording a demo of a song he had written at the time, the version of which Brian hated so much that he offered to re-record and produce it in order to do it justice. The song was "When Mothers Conspire" and ended up being the cornerstone of the project that would later become the album Astronauts and Angels. Soon after this they ended up jamming with Graham at a house party, and later rehearsed a few original songs and a couple of covers, and The Milky Snakes were born. After a NewMusicWest showcase under this name, they elected to change it to Reuben whom they remained for a year until finally settling on TheBlueAlarm - a reference to a lyric in the title track of the album. The band began recording during this time and continued to play the Vancouver club circuit.

Fraser MacKenzie developed a passion for both music and literature at a young age. As he established a personal relationship with the power of language he further discovered a means of expression as malleable as any piece of clay. Valedictorian at his High School, he went on to pursue Theater and Literature at University where he was able to couple his love of language with his longtime passion for music (including clarinet, violin, piano, guitar, and choir). Both have since become natural extensions of his being and continue to both fuel and release him. Fraser's influences range from Peter Gabriel to Peter Sellers, and also include Billy Bragg, Paul Kelly, U2, and Tracy Chapman.

Kirsten Jones

In the spring of 2002, Jones decided to record her first CD with producer/songwriter Mitch "King Kong" Girio - the result is Drive-In Movie. Jones wrote seven of the songs on Movie, while Mitch and songwriter Paul Swoger-Ruston contributed the rest. "Kirsten has one of the most pure voices I've ever heard", says Girio. "Over the course of this project, she really discovered her sound - both as a singer and a songwriter".

Drive-In Movie could be the musical equivalent to Bridget Jones' Diary - a poignant, sometimes sad/sometimes funny look at issues that face women today. Bittersweet Grand Canyon is a personal account that compares the gradual erosion of the famed canyon to the pain of a failed marriage. Back to the Playgroundis a nostalgic and comic look at childhood crushes. Another stand out, Don't Mind Me, is an intimate and haunting look at the "should she/shouldn't she" conflict of love and sex.
