Biography

Landing somewhere between the power pop of fellow Canadians Sloan and the piano-led rock of Ben Folds, the Meligrove Band were assembled during high school in Ontario in 1997 by Jason Nunes (vocals, guitar, piano), Michael Small (bass), Rick Gomes (drums), and Darcy Rego (who later switched from guitar to drums after the departure of Gomes in 2001). Their first album, Stars & Guitars, was put out through Ductape Records in 2000, followed by Let It Grow in 2002 through Endearing Records. Later that year, the trio was joined by Andrew Scott (not to be confused with Andrew Scott of Sloan), previously of Femme Fatale. The other members of Femme Fatale, Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler, formed Death from Above 1979. In 2005 the Meligrove Band became the first act from Canada to sign a worldwide agreement with V2. Their third album, Planets Conspire, was issued in Canada in January 2006.
