Kepler

Kepler was an Ottawa-based Canadian indie rock band that existed from 1997 to 2006. The band had many different members over the course of its existence, including Jeremy Gara (now of Arcade Fire), Samir Khan, Jon Georgekish-Watt, Mike Sheridan, Michael Feuerstack, Mike Dubue, and Jordy Walker (as well as a variety of guest musicians).

Kepler initially garnered attention for its exceptionally slow and quiet sound, reminiscent of groups such as Low, Codeine, and Bedhead. The band toured across Canada,^[1] the United States, and Europe, once opening for Montreal's Godspeed You! Black Emperor in the United Kingdom.

During the recording of their last record, drummer, guitarist and keyboardist Jeremy Gara left to join Arcade Fire. The remaining band members assembled a group that played a few shows around the release of the last record Gara played on, Attic Salt. The group disbanded in early 2006.
