These are the words that described Misguided Acrobat, their hopes, their dreams, their passion, their life. Formed in December 1999 this Calgary three piece offered a wide variety of covers guaranteed to please a crowd, as well as a great deal of creative originals that demonstrated their writing and musical skills, the tightness of the band, and the talent needed to succeed. Offering an air of professionalism and creating an atmosphere of fun, Misguided Acrobat embarked on a journey to conquer the local, national, and world music stage.Over a one year period, the band was able to self-produce a 15 song debut album entitled Fall & Rise. The album was a vital step in the band’s progress; it brought more performances and encouraged the three members to plan their future as a band. The album provided a framework for their eclectic style of rock, combined with a hard rock edge. They strived with each new melody to push their musical limits through experimental and progressive song writing.
The three members of Misguided Acrobat each brought a different musical background to the bands unique sound. Before becoming misguided, Stonehocker (lead vocals/guitar) released a full length album, “Star Flake”. While preparing to further his career he met Bill (bass), who was an aspiring song writer, and discovered the new chemistry that would later pave the way for Misguided Acrobat. Sean (drums), venturing down south, met up with Bill and Stonehocker bringing his technical, but rhythmic pulse to the band.
When the lights turned on, Misguided Acrobat brought the stage to life; an explosion of innovative sound captured the audience. The members of Misguided Acrobat developed their unique style over five years of song writing, and the devotion to their craft shows through in their music as well as their lyrics. Misguided Acrobat worked hard to please their ever-growing fan base as they continued to explore the Canadian music scene.
However, at the start of April 2005 Misguided Acrobat decided the journey had come to a close and parted ways.
