Alec Brietzke (guitar, vocals)

Alec is originally from Kamloops, BC where he developed a loyal following of guitar worshippers while playing in several bands. He enjoyed growing success with the band "Four Corners", which was featured on a Vancouver Seeds compilation. Since settling in Vancouver, he has added his guitar playing skills to several different music projects in the studio as well as live, and is gaining respect as a solid session musician. Although Alec is quick to site his influences as "pure 80's metal", his playing runs the gauntlet from rock to blues, to jazz. Throughout the course of a Sugarblade set his playing style can go from soft jazz-influenced chords, to heavy punk syncopated riffs, to explosively fast metal solos. The main difference is that he does it all tastefully and every note fits perfectly, no unnecessary flash, just pure seasoned musicianship. Alec is a devoted father to his son Christopher, and is obsessed with Star Wars ( although his bandmates suspect its really Star Trek).
