Kaos Moon (2)

Drummer/keyboardist Bernard Ouelette and keyboardist Michel Caron (2) form a band called Moon Project and record some songs. In 1985, the band changed its name to KAOS MOON with the arrival of guitarist Alain Pothier, bassist Michel Williamson and drummer Daniel Renaudin. Between many concerts and TV appearances, Bernard Ouelette and Michel Caron (2) wrote about thirty songs that the band arranged together. In 1987, the constant touring starts to create tension among the musicians and their manager. The band presents a memorable concert at the Beloeil Center that marks the end of Kaos Moon. At the end of 1987, Stephen Geysens approaches Bernard Ouelette and asks him to sing on Visible Wind’s first album Catharsis. Bernard Ouelette plays many concerts with Visible Wind under the name of Christopher Wells. At the same time, Bernard Ouelette and Alain Pothier along with Guy Charbonneau form the band Blitz. Blitz plays more than 300 concerts in Canada and their first single reaches the top 10. In 1993, Bernard Ouelette meets with long time friend and Visible Wind producer Denis Audet. Together they discuss reforming Kaos Moon and record a first album After The Storm. After 5 years Kaos Moon is back together with some new members. Alain Pothier, who played on the album is replaced by Benoit Chaput for concerts, Daniel Renaudin is replaced by Visible Wind drummer Luc Hébert and keyboardist Christian Gendron. After The Storm is very well received by the progressive rock world and gets great reviews. Kaos Moon is compared to Saga and Queensryche by the Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock. The band tours Eastern Canada and the VOIR newspaper qualify the band as the best band in Quebec. In 1997, Bernard Ouelette works in his own recording studio. Founded in 1992 Studio Amadeus is taking more and more time and Bernard Ouelette must once again put aside the recording of the second Kaos Moon album. The French language album will never see the light of day and will become the songs for the next Kaos Moon English language album. In 2002, Bernard Ouelette is invited to sing a few songs with Visible Wind where he meets with Unicorn Records (9) label owner Michel St-Père. Talks are engaged and after many months Bernard Ouelette completes the new Kaos Moon album. The band now consists of bassist Norman Lachapelle, guitarists Sylvain Provost and Alain Bertrand as well as old Kaos Moon members Alain Pothier and Benoit Chaput. Drums and percussion are played by Magella Cormier and Bernard Ouellette who also sings and plays many other instruments.
