Italian Edition formed in the summer of 2005 in Victoria BC. Peter (guitar) had met Matt (bass) in math class at the University of Victoria. Jay (drums) had played with Matt in Lythic Blue until 2004, when he moved to Ontario. When Jay returned, he began to jam with Peter and Matt, just for kicks. Local band Pushing Up Daisies had recently broken up, leaving Jack (vocals) and Dave (guitar) looking for a new project. Forming a new band was the obvious solution.

The band started playing live shows in October, choosing the name Italian Edition for themselves. Positive feedback and encouragement was received from strangers and friends alike. With the hasty recordings of three songs, and their subsequent push using the internet, more opportunities came along and by January of 2006 the band was playing sold out shows in Victoria.

The popularity of the recorded songs and live shows led to the to the release of their full length album in September of 2006, titled The Fable of the Mouse and the Frog. The band plans to tour soon after.

Jack Derricourt: Vocals
