Patti Schmidt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Patti Schmidt has been the host of Brave New Waves on CBC Radio Two since 1995. She grew up in Ottawa, and was just a fan of the show until CBC hired her in 1991. She now lives in Montreal. The program is an excellent source for underground, experimental, and independent music. During the mid-to-late 1990s she was the lead singer and bassist with Pest 5000, a band that also featured Brave New Waves producer Geneviève Heistek. She is currently the vocalist and bassist with the band Nanobot Auxiliary Ballet, alongside Jeff Waye (manager/owner of the North American component of Ninja Tune Records). The pair recently started the Ta-Da record label, and released a self-titled album.
