Canis

Band,
Jazz and Rock

Canis were a viscerally-themed noise-rock group from Auckland, New Zealand. They were formed in 1992 by Paul Blanchard (vocals) and Gabriel Wilkinson (guitar), with an initial line-up that also included Derek Solomon (guitar), Phil Kusabs (bass), and Geoffrey Briggs of death metal group Entropy (drums). In 1994, Adrian Bergman replaced Briggs on drums and the album A Good Solid Flesh Crime was recorded. The final recorded output from Canis was 1998's “Sweet as a Sickle” session at York St Studios, which was recorded live over three days with Nick Abbott engineering. Soon after this session, the band broke up, with Bergman and Solomon moving to England, and Wilkinson moving to Nelson. Vocalist Paul Blanchard went on to explore many of the themes of Canis in more depth as Hog Haul Valentine.
