Tricky Woo

Tricky Woo

Tricky Woo is a Canadian indie rock band, based in Montreal. The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Andrew Dickson, guitarist Adrian Popovich, bass guitarist Alex Crowe and drummer Patrick Sayers.

Originally formed in 1996 by Andrew Dickson, Sasha Roiz (drums) and Jon Fazakerli (bass) the band released their debut album "Rock and Roll Music Part 1" in 1997. Popovich soon joined on second guitar and Eric Larock took over bass duties for their follow up album "The Enemy is Real". Pat Conan replaced Roiz on the drums for the band's critically acclaimed third album "Sometimes I Cry". Tricky Woo were hailed as one of the top bands in the Canadian indie rock scene of the late 1990s, before breaking up in 2002. Dickson, Popovich and Larock reunited with new drummer Sayers in 2004 for a cross-Canada tour, and the band followed up with the new album "First Blush" in 2005 with Crowe replacing Larock.

Their 1999 album "Sometimes I Cry" was a nominee for Best Alternative Album at the Juno Awards of 2000. Their song "Easy 09" was featured in the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode "The Zeppo".

The name of the band is taken from the name of a fictional pampered dog featured in James Herriot's best-selling autobiographical novel All Creatures Great and Small, which tracks the life of a country veterinarian in pre-war England.
