Bahamas is Afie Jurvanen, and for the last many years he's been playing
other people's music.
PasoMino,
Great Lake Swimmers,
The Stills,
Howie
Beck,
Amy Millan,
Jason Collett,
Hayden and
Zeus all claim to have had
played music with him and some of these artists even go so far as to
include his name in their liner notes.
YouTube footage confirms he's
spent the last few years playing piano and guitar with
Feist. He walks
with a strange and haunted gait, due to a horrible knee injury suffered
while on tour, and it's rumored that this might be what led to the
appalling "shorts on stage" incident. No photo's of the crime have
surfaced and the indie rock police are asking anyone with information to
come forward. A Bahamas live show is likely to be a solo affair, though
lately, a host of Toronto time keepers have been sitting behind the
drum kit to accompany the Finnish-Canadian through a set of his so
called "love songs." "Pink Strat," the title of Afie's debut record, and
is most likely an homage to the very old, and very wimpy sounding
Fender Stratocaster that he's been known to play.
