bio:
LOVE, LIFE & ROCK AND ROLL..."
Born in Montreal, raised on Planet Earth, citizen of the Universe...
"ONE WORLD, ONE HUMAN RACE..."
From Montreal to Los Angeles, through France, Japan and New Zealand, JAMESPARKER continue to win hearts & electrify audiences one performance at a time. "Our aim is to play with passion, energy, and with as little pretension as possible in a world awash in posturing".
Blending folk punk, melodic rock and insightful lyrics, the band features James on vocals and guitar (Best Bets, Montreal Gazette), a former frontman/songwriter for L.A. based band Rumbletrain (A.K.A Rock City Angels - Johnny Depp's legendary band - GEFFEN Records), Wild Stevie Johnston on Guitar and Vocals, Eric Robitaille on Drums, Percussion and Vocals, David Ryshpan on Keyboards and Vocals and Mark Haynes on Bass and Vocals.
"LOVE IS PUNKER THAN PUNK..." ?
"Punk was about rebellion. This aphorism reflects my faith in the idea Love is the only way one can rebel against hatred... We have more in common than differences...".
"WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR WORLD, YOU CHANGE THE WORLD..." ?
"One of my objectives is to identify and express some of the experiences that shape the human/spiritual self; it is my hope my journey will allow me to reconcile those experiences with the man I could become..."
"Freedom is a recurring theme for me. Freewill is the next step... It's only rock and roll, but words have had a huge impact on my thinking and my actions, and I cherish the possibility ideas can still affect us all. It's up to each one of us then to do with those as we choose..."
"There is NO distinction between YOU and the ENVIRONMENT baby..." ?
James is a former Outreach and Fundraising program director for Greenpeace Canada, has worked on behalf of Greenpeace International, Amnesty International and MSF, is a founding member of UNIVERSAL PEACE COLLECTIVE or UPC (also known as UP Collective) - see www.upcollective.bandcamp.com - and is a member of European artist collective ADJOLOLO SYSTEM (France).

Song: Until The End Of Time
Until The End Of Time
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
Baby, when I look into your eyes
I see the Earth and sky
Like a new dawn rise..
And baby, like an ocean pearl
Like a sail unfurl
Through this great big world...
I give you my Love
No conditions claimed
Until the end of time
Until the sun don't shine
Until the end of time
And baby, like a mountain soar
Like a torrent pour
Like a tempest roar...
And baby, like an open mind
Like a bridge unwind
Like a beacon blind...
I give you my Love
No conditions claimed
Until the end of time
Until the sun don't shine
Until the end of time
And baby, should the Angels call
Should the Heavens fall
Should the devil crawl
Should the prophets hail
Should the trumpets wail
Like a full forced gale
I give you my Love
No conditions claimed
Until the end of time
Until the sun don't shine
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time...

Song: High
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
Baby, Inter-planetary launch is nigh
Blue skies, wide and open space in stereo
Sensors, systems on and engines set to fly
Clearly, ground control is ready for the show...
Here we go...
I party way too much
I'm living way too hard
It's moving way too fast
I know this thing can't last
I party way too much
I'm living way too hard
It's moving way too fast now...
I wanna get high...
A star bursts and supernovae shatter in the sky
I free fall, a senseless rhythm thunders in my heart
Blood rush, as Earth recedes and glimmers in my eye
Eos, as Venus nears and Love is calling home...
Here we go...
I party way too much
I'm living way too hard
It's moving way too fast
I know this thing can't last
I party way too much
I'm living way too hard
It's moving way too fast now...
I wanna get high...
I wanna get high...

STARDUST
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
If I was born without a purpose
As I was born without a clue
Now would the stars still shine the way they do
Would the oceans still be blue?
(We are) Stardust
Living in the moment and the moment's gone
Stardust
Living in the moment...
If I was born without a country
As I was born without a name
Now would the stars still shine the way they do
Would the oceans still be blue?
(We are) Stardust
Living in the moment and the moment's gone
Stardust
Living in the moment...
Bridge
(We are) Stardust
Living in the moment and the moment's gone
Stardust
Living in the moment...
