Don Pyle

Don's current project is a photography exhibit called "Trouble In The Camera Club" showing at The Beaver in Toronto.

Don's most recent music project was a duo called Greek Buck. They had albums out as Greek Buck, a cassette and single under the band's earlier name, Barely Pink, and film scores released as Don Pyle + Andrew Zealley. Greek Buck's sound is radically different from the Shadowy Men or Phono-Comb. Very adventurous, very diverse ranging from dense dance music to electronic experimentation to near-pop songs.

Don and Andrew's last album is the soundtrack to John Greyson's film Proteus, released in October 2003. Don and Andrew have since scored three more short films (Build, Filth, and Mum). No word yet on any soundtrack releases.

The last CD as "Greek Buck" is No Time, released in April of 2002.

Don's also worked with Phono-Comb's Beverly Breckenridge's band Fifth Column, Dallas Good's band The Sadies, and King Cobb Steelie. See the Guest Appearances page for details.

Brian Connelly

Brian's band, Atomic 7, has two albums out now, and the third is available at Atomic 7 shows. There's an official web site, www.atomic7brandladiesshoes.com where I assume you'll be able to buy the CD, but it's just a splash screen currently. Details on the new album are on the Atomic 7 Album Page.

He's also got a new band called Ancient Chinese Secret that does instrumental covers of old country songs, music by guys like Connie Smith, Lefty Frizzell, Charlie Rich, Robert Mitchum, and so on.

If that isn't enough, he occasionally works as one of Neko Case's "Boyfriends". See the Guest Appearances page for details.

Prior to that, Brian was in the Heatseekers (who released one split single). Brian also worked with Bruce McCulloch (from The Kids In The Hall) both on his albums (Shame-Based Man and Drunk Baby Project) as well as his one man play "Slightly Larger Cities".

Reid Diamond

After Phono-Comb, Reid had a new band called Danny and Reid's Motion Machine. They were a duo that played with Super-8 films backing them (sometimes writing to fit an existing film, sometimes making a film to fit the song). No recordings that I'm aware of. Reid also did work in the visual arts.

Sadly, Reid passed away on Feburary 17, 2001. Click here for more info.
