Bio

Steeped in dark cinematic soundscapes and complex, turn-on-a-dime arrangements, The Rebel Wheel features a frenetic mix of rock aggression, and unpredictable odd-meter vamps. Originally formed in 1991 as a fusion-based midi ensemble, the floating lineup has gradually solidified to the current five piece featuring guitars, keyboards, sax, drums and bass, and the music has focused more on modern, genre-blending Progressive Rock.

Based in Ottawa, Ontario, The Rebel Wheel consists of producer David Campbell on guitars, keyboards and vocals;  Aaron Clark on drums and percussion; Gary Lauzon on bass, bass pedals, and keyboards; and Angie MacIvor on saxes, vocals, and keyboards.

While The Rebel Wheel has experimented with more modern midi-percussion elements and loops, their core sound is based on the dynamic interaction of real players and real instruments. At times large and dissonant, at other times lyrical and direct, “Diagramma” features strong playing, unique arrangements, unexpected sonics and a self-contained compositional symmetry.  The Rebel Wheel is currently in the studio recording tracks for their next CD release, “We Are In The Time Of Evil Clocks” which features a 35 minute sprawling epic.
