Originally formed in 1989, The Moors began as "The Other's". The founding members included Ken Cree (lead guitar/vox), Brenda MacDonald (lead vox) and James Burrell (rhythm guitar/vox). This trio gained recognition for their incredibly-blended harmonies and haunting melodies. Later the band added bassist, Beverly Ross and German drummer Tom Katz. Together this band performed to capacity filled venues across Toronto including Sneaky Dee's Uptown, The El Mocambo, The Cabana Room and the Spadina Hotel. Harmonizing over renditions of "Public Square" by the Rheostatics, "Apeman" by The Kinks, REM's, "Superman", The Waterboy's, "Fisherman's Blues", and Nancy Sinatra's, "These Boots Were Made For Walkin'", The Moors performed alongside, well known singer/songwriter/band(s): Ron Sexsmith, The Pale Criminal, The Spirit Drummers, and Twilight Ritual. The Moors perform mostly original material now, penned by James, Ken and Brenda. At present the trio is preparing a professional demo of some of their songs. Due out in 2004.
