The Top Drawers

Everybody knows that the top drawer is where all the best secrets are kept safe. Perhaps twelve of Vancouver’s best secrets are the songs contained on The Top Drawers’ new CD, “You’re So Fine”. Richly steeped in 1960s Brit-rock flavour, The Top Drawers are intent on reviving the joy, the energy, and the fun of rock ‘n’ roll. All twelve songs were recorded, mixed, and mastered in a mere seven days. As a result, the band has managed to capture all of the chemistry and the intensity of their live show on a studio recording. Band-mates Eric Lefebvre Patrick Jacobson, Scott Perry, and Blair MacDonald have re-formed The Top Drawers and have only been creating music together for less than a year. However, it hasn’t taken them long to collect the adoration of music-scenesters and would-be sock-hoppers everywhere they’ve played. Perhaps it’s because their obvious homage to 1960s rock music comes very naturally. Lead singer Eric Lefebvre has performed with Ex Hollies member Terry Sylvester, now a member of The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. It also doesn’t hurt that the CD was mixed by Canadian audio-guru/Odds-alumnus, Steven Drake. It has also been featured by Ex Rolling Stones manager/producer, Andrew Loog Oldham on Little Steven's Underground Garage. The resulting vibe is so sincere that the only cover song on the CD, “Just Out Of Reach” by The Zombies, feels right at home here among The Top Drawers’ original compositions. The Top Drawers have toured all over BC, Alberta and the Yukon and have performed at festivals such as The North Country Fair in Joussard, Alberta and the 4th Avenue Hippy Daze festival in Vancouver, BC. The band’s live shows have become exuberant events characterized by call-and-answer choruses, handclaps, and barrages of lead guitar. It is unapologetically rock ‘n’ roll in its truest form.
