Her childhood was spent largely in ignorance of the underground sounds of The Smiths, The Cure, and Joy Division, whom The Organ would later often be favorably compared to.

Then, by total fluke, my mom's friend's husband, Ron Obvious, hired me to help with the audio wiring for a studio he was building for Bryan Adams."

He created mix-tapes of bands he thought she'd appreciate as a violinist (Roxy Music, Ultravox) and singers with an "amazing natural vocal pitch" (Siouxsie and the Banshees, Nina Hagen, Kate Bush)).

"I met Katie Sketch when we worked morning shifts at a wretched cinnamon bun shop," says Efron, "but we really became friends on a road trip where we ended up breaking down in the redneck town of Hermiston, Oregon.

Sarah was involved in CiTR, and Barb was big into indie rock, so what started off as a joke got me out going to see shows.

Efron was also the news director at UBC's CiTR, where she, Sketch and Choit co-hosted a raunchy late-night call-in program called "The Dead Air Show."

The original group eventually rounded out with Katie, Jenny, Sarah, drummer Shelby Stocks, and guitarist Debora Cohen.

"The rock n' roll lifestyle wasn't for me," said Efron, who is currently working for the financial section of The National Post, a conservative Canadian newspaper.

After much agonizing, the Organ decided to scrap the Dahle sessions and rerecord the album with producer Paul Forgues, who Sketch knew from her days at the Warehouse Studio.

Despite numerous set-backs, their five years of slow going had produced a relatively sizable fan-following, and their new material showed even more promise than their first EP, which had done very well indeed, especially for a record that had gone largely unpromoted.

As such, Grab That Gun spent more time on top of the Canadian campus-radio charts than any other record released that year.

However, with their first international tour looming and no replacement in sight, Webber was asked back and subsequently rejoined the band in the new year.

They also produced a music video for "Brother" (directed by Robert Morfitt), arguably the strongest of the seven new tracks appearing on the record.

A fictitious reenactment of the video shoot for "Brother" can be seen during season two, episode two of the Showtime original series The L Word.

During another North American tour promoting Grab That Gun, Ashley Webber left for good.

On the 27th, a little over a week later, The Organ announced via their website that they had just been signed to Too Pure Records, through which Grab That Gun would be available throughout the world in February 2006.

The album cover was designed by David Cuesta at 7th Avenue house, and is based on a grid constructed around the Fibonacci sequence, to match musical scales.

On August 23, 2006, the band released a statement on MySpace saying they were canceling the remaining portion of their UK tour which included dates at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

The statement read: In an interview on CBC Radio 3 the following day, Jenny declined to discuss the reasons for the breakup saying that there were issues they preferred to keep private but implied that it had little or nothing to do with either geography or Katie's modeling career.

Two years later, Katie Sketch would later go on to detail the full story behind the break-up in a 2008 interview: "When the band ended, I was really burnt out.

[After the breakup,] I moved to Toronto, had a mental breakdown, then I just got a job working for a doctor […] I interview people with drug problems, and alcoholics.

"[2] Less than two years after their breakup, the band released one last EP of unreleased material titled, Thieves, on October 14, 2008.

I gave my friend strict instructions, like, sit in the back seat and don't offer any opinion.

We need it to be the easiest session ever, because people are really sensitive, and if one person says, "Fuck this, I'm leaving," then it won't work.

A video of Katie Sketch performing with a new band called "Mermaids" as early as October 31, 2007, has surfaced on the internet too.

According to Sketch: "I feel like, OK, so I'm going to write a solo record and pour every part of myself into it, and I won't have control over where it's released in the United States again?

Katie Sketch is now performing with Gentleman Reg and has been seen in some shows at the Gladstone Hotel and the Beaver in Toronto, Ontario.

In 2008, along with former Organ member Jenny Smyth, Sketch opened a gay-friendly Toronto bar and hang-out, The Henhouse.

[8] After the disbandment of The Organ, bass player Ashley Webber continued to explore her musical talents through various collaborations and solo endeavours.

Webber lent her vocal skills to notable projects, including collaborations with Pink Mountaintops and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.
