History
Clues was founded by Alden Penner (vocals, guitar, keys) and Brendan Reed (drums), both active for years in the Montreal music industry. Penner was a founding member of The Unicorns and Reed has been in a number of groups, most notably Arcade Fire. The duo had previously collaborated on a split 7-inch single "Surface to Air Missive / I Love What U Did", released in 2006 on Penner's label Take This Hammer. Penner and Reed were joined by keyboardist Bethany Or (Shanghai Triad) for their official debut performance at Pop Montreal 2007.[citation needed] The group also contributed music to The Visible Will vs. The Invisible Wall, a short film directed by Brett Story as part of the festival's Making Music program.[1][2] In late 2007 an MP3 entitled "Lead Woods Swollen Fit" appeared online, apparently offering a sample of the band's upcoming album (then rumoured to be titled Rad Boo Horror & the Glory).[3] By late 2008, Bethany Or had left the band and Lisa Gamble and Nick Scribner were recruited from the Montreal art and music scenes to join Penner and Reed on tour across North America and Europe.[4]
