Cookie Duster is a Canadian indie rock band from Toronto, ON, initially formed in 1999. The group went on hiatus in 2001, before reforming with some new members in 2011.
Co-founded by Brendan Canning (before he co-founded Broken Social Scene) the band released a self-titled album in 2001 with a lineup that included Evan Cranley, Danko Jones, Spookey Ruben and Ian Blurton, but subsequently went on hiatus as Canning's other project, Broken Social Scene, broke through to mass popularity.
Following Broken Social Scene's announcement in 2011 that they were going on hiatus, Canning and Maiezza revived Cookie Duster, working with a new band lineup including vocalist Jeen O'Brien, guitarist Matt Murphy and drummer Damon Richardson (Danko Jones).
The line-up of Canning, Bernard, Maiezza, O'Brien, Murphy and Richardson released the album When Flying Was Easy in June 2012. The line-up began performing live in early 2013, making their debut appearance at the Wavelength Music Festival in Toronto.
