Sean MacNab
Sean has been an angry punk for most of his life, taking a brief hiatus back in 1987 to follow Culture Club across North America during their Kissing To Be Clever tour. He first met the other members of Conflicting Plaid after kicking them out of a local bar (and no, he wasn't working as a bouncer there). After getting to know him better, the other members begged him to join the band as their bassist, if only to stop the beatings. He is known for his punchy bass riffs as well his fists, and his screaming backing vocals in songs like Worship the Squirrel have been the object of several 911 calls by concerned citizens thinking a small animal was being tortured.
Sean has shot, edited and encoded of all of Conflicting Plaid's music videos and has built up an impressive portfolio. He may be hired for parties, bar mitzvahs and "private couple action videos" for a small fee.
Ian Daly
Ian formed Conflicting Plaid with lead singer Zoltan Du Lac back in 1997 after the break-up of their previous band, The Secret Plaid Underground, a.k.a. S.P.U (rumour has it the cause of this parting of ways was due to the band members never showing up to gigs). Ian recorded and produced their first album, Adultery, Incest and Condoms — one track of this album, an early version of William Shatner, was included on DJ Helmut's compilation album Gay Happening Best Of 2. The band has yet to receive any royalties from this CD.
After a brief seven year hiatus performing with Toronto Goth band Perdition, Ian got back to his punk roots and reformed Conflicting Plaid in 2009. And no, we didn't use "Those Photos" we found on 4chan to blackmail him into doing it (although we are saving that up for something special).
Zoltan Du Lac
To call Zoltan's past sketchy is like saying British Petroleum has a small PR problem. Although it has been rumoured that Zoltan was chief nuclear technician at The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the late 1980s, there is no direct evidence that his outrageous rendition of You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) in the core of reactor No. 4 was the cause of the fall of a major superpower. Even though all the band members contributed to Conflicting Plaid's lyrics, Zoltan's additions push the boundaries of good taste — Ozzy Osbourne has allegedly been quoted to have said Zoltan is a sick, depraved and disgusting human being (actually, no one really knows for sure what he exactly said, but if you dream, you may as well reach for the stars!)
When not grunting or writing lyrics with the band, he hacks web technology together on his blog User Agent Man. He has also done websites for several Toronto Fringe Festival productions, including Hiroic Productions' Being at Home With Claude.
