Encyclopedia > Todd Kowalski

Todd Kowalski was born on May 27th, 1973 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. In the early 90's he was the frontman of I Spy, a p.c. punk band originally from Regina, and originally called Clump. He and the band moved to Winnipeg in 1994. The band played together until the summer of 1996, when they decided to call it quits. After that he became part of a band called Swallowing Shit who played together until they were banned from doing shows in 1997 when approximately 300 Christians, offended by their song "Pro-Abortion, Anti-Christ", showed up at a show to protest. This led to the City of Winnipeg enforcing an unused and forgotten law which declares it illegal to question the authority of the church within city limits. In 1998, the G7 Welcoming Committee record label released an I Spy anthology album called "Perversity is Spreading... It's About Time". Today, he is the bassist for the band Propagandhi and has so far released two albums with them called Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes and Potemkin City Limits.

Todd spoke to us about what he called the “idiocy” of cases involving police leaving Aboriginals frozen to the snow simply for being drunk off their reserves.
Todd says the band felt it was important to join the protest in order to demonstrate a citizen’s front united against this conglomeration of wealthy nations.
Kowalski is fiercely opposed to Canada’s role in Afghanistan and it compelled him to go overseas to volunteer.
Uptown Magazine Online - CD Reviews (2442 words)
So when news arrived earlier this year that the trio of singer/guitarist Chris Hannah, bassist/singer Todd Kowalski and drummer Jord Samolesky was on the verge of finishing a new recording, a lot of the band’s fans and admirers pricked up their ears.
Kowalski is much more passionate about songwriting and musical progress than I am and that tends to pull us in new (and sometimes conflicted and frustrating) directions.
But Todd has way bigger visions than I do, and while I often felt like sticking dynamite in my eyes when subjected to the insane, counterintuitive process that is Todd’s songwriting, there is a payoff at the end of it I can’t argue with.
