Hailing from Vancouver, The Doers are an acoustic, three-piece-folk-punk-soft-math-rock band with a pleasant smell and a firm handshake. Formed from 3/4 of the surviving members of Vancouver legends STATIONa, a band that recorded three LPs and was notorious for providing a wall of sound; often leaving its audience stramming for more or in an ambulence. In contrast to their roots, the Doers have managed to capture the intensity of STATIONa but with a portion of the volume, minus one member and far less gear. With influences that range from the Minutemen to the Modern Lovers and everywhere else in between that is lovely, they take listeners and viewers alike on a journey that partially resembles a Carlos Castenada novel, only with larger font and better prose. They've successfully consummated a 22 show summer conquest of the Vancouver music scene and have attracted praise from fans, critics and various facets of the media. Having recently completed a double EP/LP entitled "Ready, Set...Do/I Can Enjoy Almost Anything" recorded at Rec-age Recorders that featured Shammy Doer on guitar/vocals, Barry Do on bass, Jerf on drums and Kathy Dube (also of The Cinch) on vocals, the Doers formulated a beautiful, aggressive, soothing, tantric record. The record also includes cameos from the likes of the legendary Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE) who played bass on a number of tracks while Barry Do was recovering from a near fatal injury late 2002. (The ordeal was documented on www.cbcradio3.ca and entitled "The Art of Recovery; Bedside Drawings of a Fallen Friend" illustrated by Shammy Doer.) Other cameos include Joel Tong (Black Rice), Juli Steemson (Black Rice), Jesse Gander (DBS, Operation Makeout), and the infamous John Cow (Northland Lumber, Honeycow). Luckily for everybody, the Doers are coming to a town near you and they're not just going to hang out and drink this time. Yessiree, they're coming and they're going to play the hell out of the place. And just like the big sweaty teddybears that they are, they're open and available to speak with anyone curious about their recent happenings.
