Bio
KOMODO WAGON
A Living, Breathing, Sweating, Beast of a Band, and wait til' you see them live!
Not Metal, but the Metalheads might like it. Not Punk, but the Oi's might dig it. Not Indie, but it's fun to see a Waif Rock Out. Not Hardcore, cause they ain't rich kids. Not Glam, cause nobody can top Ziggy and Bolan. Not Grunge cause most of those guys are dead. Not but one heck of a Rock band. Call us what you will. We're not genre snobs, just ROCKERS!
Led by Canadian Vocalist, Guitarist, Songwriter, & Producer TROY PERLIC and rounded out by a Portuguese rhythm section and lead guitarist that'll release your personal Demons and make anybodies parents run for cover. And why not, that's what this Rock n' Roll thing is all about!
Forget the trends, just ROCK ROCK ROCK
"There is something for everyone in our music, yet integrity keeps us deeply rooted in the void between the sound of underground and mainstream rock n roll. Whether we play it ‘fast’ or ‘slow’ our goals are the same – ‘WE’ must: enjoy it, make it tuneful, powerful, thought provoking, exciting and unpredictable… ” (Troy Perlic)
The Debut album “Old Beauty & the Broken Cross” (translated to Portuguese – Linda Velha & Cruz Quebrada – well know Lisbon suburbs where the bands rehearsal garage / studio exists) is as clever and intriguing as the album title.
11 songs were captured and mixed at Generator Studios (PT – the studio owned and operated by Miguel Marques from Easyway) and subsequently Mastered at Masterdisk USA by the Legendary Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth – Clutch – the Beastie Boys, the Afghan Whigs, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Muse, KORN, the Strokes, Biffy Clyro, Deftones, Gorrilaz, and the Killers more recently.
Album release details TBA shortly.
Antena 3 and Radar (Portuguese Radio stations supporting Rock) & Renegade Networks online http://renegadenetwork.net & www.maximumthreshold.net have been spinning advance tracks already.
KOMODO WAGON SONGS
Include stories and themes that examine commonplace social practices, beliefs, faiths, and governments. Lyrics ‘challenge’ the audience / listener to examine both “the pretty” & “the ugly” sides of life in a unique but inviting manner.
The songs incorporate love, hate, sex, denial, optimism, relationships, entertainment, big city adventures and small town ideals representing the vast journey of singer / songwriter Troy Perlic’s existence thus far in life. Yet, somehow we get more from this band as a result of their unique attention to fundamental aspects of Rock music which seem to be missing in today’s charts and scenes. Believability, accountability, power, melody, and even grace are the real ‘turbines’ behind Komodo Wagon. The boys wear these traits on their sleeves, it's that simple.

KOMODO WAGON ORIGINS: The Troy Perlic Story:
Originally a Canadian small town boy (raised in Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada – Population 3700), the quiet life couldn’t hold on to Troy Perlic. Dreams, desires and determination eventually lead him to London, England after two 3 year stints in Calgary and Vancouver, respectively. Eagerly ‘learning the ropes’ (both on stage and in the studio) in Canada and always seeming to move on to the next biggest city; London became his heaven & hell during the 6 years as of 1997. Championing the resurgence of London’s decadent underground Hard Rock scene (whilst the spice girls and indie music dominated European Top 40), Perlic soon became a regular headliner and crowd favourite in the UK. Regularly receiving critical acclaim, he battled through the loss of band members / friends during the ‘hard drugs era’ (typical) and an unruly anxiety disorder himself while steadily gaining notoriety for his bold song writing, mesmerizing performances, and sometimes mischievous behaviour. After playing the big stage at Ozzfest and a sold out show at London’s infamous Camden Palace on October 31st, 2002 – Perlic’s band (Five Hundred & Crave) unceramoniously self destructed at the height of their career. It was time to regroup, get healthy, and start again. This time on the sun drenched shores of Lisbon, Portugal.
