About The Birthday Massacre

The Birthday Massacre is a synth rock band, based in Toronto, Canada. The band was officially formed in 2000, known at that time as Imagica. Playing their first show at Diversity Night Club in London, Ontario under the name Imagica, the group's original line-up consisted of: Chibi (vocals), Rainbow (rhythm guitar/programming), M. Falcore (lead guitar), and Aslan (bass guitar). Dank played keyboards and (expired link). joined the group on live percussion. A seven-song limited edition demo was released.

In 2001, Dank left the group, and the others relocated from London to Toronto, Ontario, to begin recording. There, they recorded another limited edition demo, this time with five songs.

Shortly thereafter, due to legal conflict, the band adopted the name The Birthday Massacre. In July of 2002, The Birthday Massacre independently released a limited edition CD entitled "Nothing and Nowhere." In 2003, Adm joined the band on keyboards and Rhim on drums. On July 20, 2004, The Birthday Massacre released a new EP entitled "Violet," and at the end of the year, re-released "Nothing and Nowhere" with new sleeve artwork. Adm soon left thereafter to explore his own projects. In the fall of 2004, the band was signed to Repo Records in Germany, and released a remastered and expanded version of "Violet"
