The Band's Journey
Shallow North Dakota started in Hamilton in 1993. The original members were Tony Jacome, who sang and played drums, Dan Dunham on guitar, and Biff Young on bass.
In 1994, the band released their first album, Auto Body Crusher. It came out on a local record label called Sonic Unyon. They followed this with another album, This Apparatus Must Be Earthed, in 1997. During the 1990s, the band toured with other Canadian noise rock groups. These included bands like Chore and Kittens.
In 2004, Shallow North Dakota released their third album, Mob Wheel. Their old label, Sonic Unyon, helped distribute it to stores in Canada. The band decided to stop playing together the next year, in 2005.
The band reunited for a special event on October 13, 2018. After that, they played a few more shows in Western Canada with the band KEN mode. Their very last show was on April 13, 2019, in Montreal.
In 2019, Shallow North Dakota's song "Backbone" was featured. It appeared on a special collection album from Sonic Unyon. This album celebrated the label's 25th anniversary.
In January 2021, Tony Jacome, one of the band members, became very ill. To help him and his family, a special music project was released. It was an EP (a short album) with three songs.
