THE REKKERZ and their evil manager Brain Harris play Wreck Beach Rocktronica.

"I am not really their manager" says singer songwriter and nudist rocker Brian Harris, people think I am because I get them gigs and they are the host band for the 5 CD series of The Naked Truth, I am the evil manager because the gigs I get them are for benefits (cancer, Wreck Beach) and I make them play without pay". Brain Harris also convinced the band to host a bunch of musicians to play his music. The first CD of the Naked truth series of 5 is called Music for the naked and its dedicated to Brian's foster son, Derek Crawford who passed away a couple of years ago. All the naked references are not a coincidence, the band met at wreck beach and they met their evil manager in there as well. The Rekkerz also play every Saturday at the legendary Vancouver nudist beach. The Rekkerz perform naked with amps and a drum kit that they take down the marathonic stairs that leads to the best place in Canada.

 
BIO
It was a very sunny day in the summer of 1990 when a couple of rock musician stumbled across each other at world famous Wreck Beach. Strangely enough, these two odd souls happened to play the typical foundational pop band instruments, electric bass guitar and a drum kit.
One must understand that an isolated beach accessed to by a torturous vertical wilderness trail is not the typical place to experience amplified rock. The mad drummer, Jamie Dean REKKER had invented a portable, packable drum kit and happily combined his two loves, beaching and bashing. It was through sheer fortitude and determination that he was trekking the hill on a regular basis to jam along with the acoustic guitars, hand drums and singers that frequent this marvelous place. This is THE venue for joyful creation and sharing of music.

On this day Rex REKKER showed up with a recently developed battery powered amplification system and an electric/acoustic bass that still had the store stickers attached. Instant outdoor rock show. Instant Band.
The two formed a loose alliance that took some musical shape over the next few months. It wasn’t long before invitations to play small events came along. The first thing that the still unnamed band accepted was a basement house party and the first appearance was arranged and attended. It was brief show as a visit from police shortened the performance considerably after a noise complaint. That trend continues to this day.
Since then, The REKKERZ has played a lot of sunny days at the beach and some great shows in strange locations (highlights including Vancouver's Fabulous Commodore Ballroom and Koerners at U.B.C.) and hundreds of night club dates.
The REKKERZ performing lineup unofficially numbers upwards of twenty individuals with the current core group of Mackenzie REKKER, Jamie Dean REKKER and Rex REKKER delivering the rock gold and originals.
The REKKERZ are dedicated to the celebration of freedom and unlimited personal expression.
