PopCanon
was a non-Euclidean pop band consisting of several
Gainesville
scene veterans as well as some fresh voices:
-
M. David Hornbuckle, singer and second guitarist, began PopCanon in 1995 and was the primary songwriter for the band. Hornbuckle now lives in New York City, where he writes fiction and sometimes performs solo or with his band the M-Word.
-
Ned Davis, the eclectric guitarist,
has played in many
Gainesville bands including the Tonewelders, What anne
Likes..., Planet Ten and the UF Jazz Band. With
PopCanon, he wrote songs, sang a lot, bounced up and down a lot and
occasionally yelled obscenities into his guitar pickups. Dr. Eugene
Chadbourne once called his guitar playing 'crazy'... Davis is the
only member of PopCanon who still resides in Gainesville. He has recently
played several reunion shows with his old band What
anne Likes.
-
Alyson Carrel sang and
played trombone, trumpet and tuba in PopCanon. She has also
been a member of the UF Orchestra, the UF Trombone Choir,
Jacaré (the Brazilian Music Ensemble) and Rosa Rugosa,
and has played and recorded with many
other bands including Meringue, The
Pawn Rook Four, Syrup and Honeygrind. She also ventured
into the noise scene with her art/noise project S.S. Djylian.
She now lives in Chicago, where she runs the label Cloth
Monkey Records with her husband Whitey.
-
Michael Murphy played fretless and fretted basses and sang backing vocals. He has also been in numerous Gainesville bands, including the Young Pioneers, Blackacre, Visitor, The Root Doctors and even a stint with Pol Parsley, the Thai Elvis. Michael also maintains our stunning band
website. He currently lives in San Francisco.
-
Don Undeen was the
saxophone player. He was a founding member of experimental bands
Chasing Poppy and Nambla. He also played in the garage rock band Grit Kisser. Don now lives in New York City where he is a member of the popular gypsy band Nervous Cabaret as well as the M-Word.
-
Robby Copeland played (and still plays) drums like you wouldn't believe. While studying jazz at Santa Fe Community College, he also played with our own Don Undeen in The Chairs, in addition to many other bands (too many to keep track of). Robby's unusual lefthanded playing style lent a distinct flavor to many PopCanon songs. He now lives in Orlando and performs with the hippie-hop band One Drop.
