Floor Thirteen was an alternative rock ensemble originating from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Their sound combined elements from rock music of the 1960s and 1970s with influences drawn from the 1990s rock scene.
Origins and Mmmm!
The band came together in 1998 when drummer Billy Kiely and Marc 'Jaws' Jaworski, who had been working together previously, were joined by vocalist and bassist Aaron Vandall. Subsequently, Jeremy Koz became part of the lineup. In 2005, Floor Thirteen performed at Winnipeg's Powerball event alongside acts such as Our Lady Peace and Danko Jones. They also took part in the NXNE festival in 2007.
Their album Mmmm! was produced at Winnipeg’s 441 Studios with Brandon Friesen, a Juno Award-winning producer. Upon its release in 2008, the album quickly rose to the top position in Winnipeg's weekly record sales chart for the week of August 10, 2008.
The track "Blame It On Me" was licensed by EA Games in August 2008 and included in the video games Need For Speed: Undercover and The Sims 3. Additionally, this song was featured on George Stroumboulopoulos' radio program, The Strombo Show. That same year, Floor Thirteen performed for prominent industry professionals at London's MUSEXPO Europe and was highlighted on the internationally broadcast radio program Passport Approved, airing in both Germany and the United Kingdom.
In 2012, Floor Thirteen took part in Canada Music Week held in Toronto.
