Biography

An Ian Blurton (Change of Heart, Bionic, C'mon) project, Blurtonia was a Canadian rock group, formed in May 1999 to play live shows in support of the well-received self-released debut Adventures in the Kingdom of Blurtonia. The debut album was co-produced by Daryl Smith whose credits include Sloan, Tricky Woo, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

In addition to Adventures, Blurtonia released one other self-titled album released on Grenadine Records in 2002. At the time, the band was comprised of Ian Blurton on guitar and vox, Al Kelso (ex-the dinner is ruined) on guitar, Randy Curnew (ex-Ursula/Cash Brothers) on drums, and Brendan Canning (hHead, Broken Social Scene) on bass. Before their last cross-Canada tour in September 2002, Eric Larock (Tricky Woo) filled in on bass.
