Mr. Goshness is a 5 Piece Progressive Pop Rock Band formed in 2010, in Nanaimo, British Columbia.
Members:  Mark Tardif (Vocals, Guitar)
Kaliandra Capri (Vocals, Guitar)
Aidaen Carson (Keys)
Myles Dunne (Bass)
Zack Friend (Drums)

Jim Blair, their producer, describes Mr. Goshness as “a deranged cocktail of pop, progressive metal, and Kurt Weil show tunes.” A Mr. Goshness show is filled with intelligent musicianship, hooky vocals, unique arrangements and an entertaining stage show. Taking influence from many different genres, Mr. Goshness isn't afraid to go in several directions, all while maintaining its own sound. Whether it's Kaliandra Capri's and Mark Tardif's pristine vocal harmonies, Aidaen Carson"s keyboard wizardry, or Zack Friend and Myles Dunne's tight grooves, Mr. Goshness continues to evolve and grow. Catchy vocals, heavy guitars and creative arrangements are abundant on their debut album "A Guide To All Things Twisted." With twelve powerful and fearless tracks, this album will be available soon for all to hear. 
Influences are Mother Mother, Muse, The Dear Hunter, Beach Boys, Coldplay, Periphery, The Beatles, As Tall As Lions, Incubus, Said the Whale. https://www.facebook.com/Mr.Goshness

	Yeah - they all liked it in the end: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=9166, and with good reason too: Great live band, and the lady certainly does them proud in the vocals department! Should appeal to anyone who likes District 97, I guess. Deserve to be much better known, hence this little plug... http://mrgoshness.com/ ...and here's their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Mr.Goshness/.
