Satori Music

Citylake is a Montreal-based trio formerly known for three years as Satori. Their sound merges their diverse musical backgrounds into an intricate blend of melody and cinematic atmosphere supported by solid rhythm-section interplay. After a line-up change in March 2011 the band felt a more appropriate name was needed to coincide with a new recording project and mark a new start. This new line-up includes two founding members, Martin St.Germain ( Vocals, Guitar and Piano ) Lewis Handford ( Drums and Precussion ) and Montreal-scene veteran Alec McElcheran, recruited to lend a hand on bass in July 2011.

Some of the bio content refers to the Satori days but remains relevant since to this day the live-set includes songs from the November 2009 self-released E.P "Home Movies". These songs became a regular feature on Prague's ExpatsRadioOnline international podcast. In July 2010 they recorded two live songs as part of a new Musique Plus segment on emerging local bands.

They have since maintained a steady gigging schedule including old and new songs - some still in the pre-production phase - as well as oldies dating back to Martin's solo-performing days and the even the odd impromtu cover. The next gig and the upcoming release will be the first as Citylake. Thanks for visiting
