GASM:
Andy Simpson and Gerry Madden met in October 1996 after Simpson placed an ad on radio station 106.9FM The Bear, looking for a songwriter to help finish a musical he was working on. Madden is from Ottawa and was looking for a new venture after leaving Ottawa rock band, Valkyrie. He is currently fronting another Ottawa rock band called Scarecrowz. Together, Simpson and Madden formed GASM in 2001. They have since released four rock operas: The Fork (2004), We Are Right (2010) and Music And Songs Inspired By Robinson Crusoe (2014) – a piece Simpson had been working on since the age of 12. GASM released all these albums online in 2016. They released an EP of new material – and a non-concept/rock opera, called W.H.I.P online in 2017. They released their fourth and current rock opera, School Of Hard Knocks in 2022 and hope to see all of their works produced as stage musicals in the near future. For more information, please go to:
