"This isn't exactly a secret anymore, but I've moved away from Edmonton and have been living in Vancouver since late 2014. After much thought and discussion, I have decided to officially base Gatekeeper out of the west coast. This means that I will be seeking a new lineup of musicians to participate in the group, so that we will be able to rehearse, write, record and perform on a steady basis. Canada is not the right place to have a band (especially at our underground level) where members need to be constantly flown around the country for gigs, let alone find time to rehearse with one another.
I have spoken to the rest of the band and they have given me their blessings on the matter. So, I'd like to extend a massive thank-you to my friends and brethren in GATEKEEPER, who helped pull this group out of my basement and onto the stage and studio floor for nearly four years worth of memorable, quality gigs and four physical releases.
Shorre McColman (Voice)
Leillyn McColman (Bass)
Tyson Travnik (Drums, studio engineering)
Rob Adie (Lead Guitar)
Justin Song (Lead Guitar, choir, flute)
Oskar Jankovic (Lead Guitar)
Without any of these gentlemen and their own support bases, Gatekeeper would not have gotten to where it is now. Thank you so much for everything.
Moving forward, I will be auditioning new members in the west coast area. There are a handful of other projects up my sleeve that I am looking forward to unveiling when the time is right.
Until then."
Leillyn, Jeff, Rob, Tyson, Shorre after Farmageddon 2015
