The Never Surprise

Introducing The Never Surprise, as they release their self-titled debut album. The duo (David Gaudet and Nick Eakins) is based in Vancouver BC, but are relatively new arrivals to Canada’s west coast. Their endeavour began in 2006, when Gaudet and Eakins started writing songs together in Ottawa. After a few short months, Eakins left Canada to pursue other career opportunities. David Gaudet continued on in Ottawa, releasing a critically acclaimed solo EP, including a few songs that were a result of the pair’s earliest collaborations. Gaudet’s solo project earned him a CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award in 2007.

Fast forward to fall of 2008. Both Gaudet and Eakins find themselves relocated in Vancouver, and through a complex and serendipidous sequence of events, they wind up next door neighbors. Convinced of the strange powers of the universe, and itching to get back to playing music, they couldn’t pass up another opportunity to collaborate.
