Vancouver’s edgy blues duo The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer
have ended the summer season on a high note with their participation in
The BreakOut West Festival held in Regina last weekend with a
nomination for Blues Recording of the Year at the Western Canadian Music
Awards and several showcase performances.
Though the award went to another
popular BC blues artist, David Gogo, The Harpoonist & The Axe
Murderer's high-energy and original brand of blues caused quite a buzz
amongst attendees at the festival.
“I’ve never seen a band command
such energy from an audience so early in their career. The energy
coming from the stage was undeniable…it was brilliant”
-Liam Killeen, Coalition Music
"I got a very pleasant surprise
when I caught The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer. I was blown away by
their dynamic & crowd pleasing set. I'm certainly keeping my eyes
on these guys & if I'm not mistaken, they are going places"
-Yvonne Matsell, Co-founder NXNE Music Festival

In addition to their raucous
performances, industry panels, gaining new fans and general schmoozing
at The BreakOut West Festival, The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer also signed a deal with Canada's leading agency Paquin Entertainment.
Paquin Entertainment's expertise as both a booking agency and talent
buyer provides engagement opportunities to national and international
acts across Canada, the U.S., and through its reciprocal arrangements,
in European and Asian markets. This partnership, along with widespread
media attention will be sure to raise the profile of BC's dynamic blues
duo.
The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer
are not known for sticking to conventionality. Their modern take on
blues and roots music has been described as “‘blues that gets you in the
crotch” and their dedication to preserving and promoting the blues has
helped introduce the genre to younger fans all over the country.
