origin

The Coloured Animal was first spotted in the wild in 2008 in its juvenile form, when it appeared to be a Tragically Hip tribute band. Further observation has shown it to have evolved into an exciting and captivating original rock band. In its current adult state, it is most closely related to seminal hard rock and alternative acts such as Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Pink Floyd and early Rush.

anatomy

The Coloured Animal consists of a sturdy rhythm section (drummer Fred Donaldson and bassist/vocalist Greg Reimer) supporting a powerful, muscular guitar duo (Matt Perkins on lead, Todd Stanton on rhythm and vocals). Its most prominent and recognizable feature is an energetic and engaging lead vocalist (Kevin Gregoire). When observed in the wild, Coloured Animal appears confident, professional and musically talented.
