Malibu Knights is an Adventure Rock group from Kelowna, B.C. The front man, Dan Harden, hailing from small town Alberta has traveled the world playing music in 6 different countries and 3 bands. Finally to settle down in Kelowna and build an adventure rock act that is about entertaining and involving the audience like they are part of the show. They pride themselves on showmanship and a professional sound.

A band is like a person - the more you get to know it, the deeper it becomes. When Armchair Cynics released the Killing the Romance EP in 2005, the Victoria-based four piece established itself as a sturdy modern rock outfit in a market already crowded with sturdy modern rock outfits. And the Cynics might have disappeared forever inside that too-often dreary throng if it hadn’t been for the nuances rattling around inside numbers like “Bang” and “Surprise Ending” - an almost covert pop sensibility behind the arrangements and atypical chord changes that lifted Killing the Romance out of its stubbornly earthbound genre.

The songs then made their way to master craftsman Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound for engineering and a final polish. Once available for distribution, the songs received immediate attention. The track “Believe” was selected for a compilation CD by RadioUgly (Volume 1). Raw Vegas TV selected “Can’t Control This” as the music for their UFC fight promotion, and the song continues to be heard on Fox Sports South’s MMA commercials.

Unfortunately, at 13 years old, she began to develop nodules from the excess usage of her young voice. Sasha then began singing jazz. Performing and competing in various festivals, she quickly impressed the audiences, and proved her vocal abilities by winning Kiwanis in 1999, placing 1st in Musical Theater, Folk and Duet. Even with all of these successes, she was sorely missing her classical studies. Sasha underwent speech therapy to try and salvage her opera career, but unfortunately the damage was already done. Sasha quit singing for several years, but was drawn back in when she heard the melodic rock sounds of a Kelowna, BC band called Blinded and decided it was time to start again.

Her tastes had evolved through her teens and she discovered her love of rock music. Fast-forward to 2007, Sasha met local songwriter/performer Dasha at her weekly vocal lesson. The two decided to collaborate on some song ideas and quickly wrote a number of tunes. Sasha and Dasha demo’d an acoustic version of “Headlong” at The Warehouse studio and agreed that they wanted to hear it as a full-band effort. Gathering together a group of local musicians (Tobi Duquette, Austin Short and Andrew Marks from Finding Friday and Jesse Wainwright from Juno-nominated State of Shock) they took three of their new creations and put them into the hands of Tricky Timmy at Ear Art Music Studios What you are about to hear is a lot of Sasha’s heart and soul. Stay tuned for a whole lot more.
