>About the band
Who is Prozzäk?
"This is the story of Simon and musical wizard Milo, as they travel the modern world in an endless search for true love. "

Prozzäk is Simon and Milo. The pair behind catchy, poppy dance music that you won't be able to dance our of your head. Trust me, I've tried.

They're really James McCollom (Milo) and Jason Levine (Simon) from the Philosopher Kings (as revealed on MuchMusic's Six Degrees Of Much).

How do you spell Prozzak? Prozack? Prozak?
It's spelled
Prozzäk (with those two dots over the letter a).

Are they cartoon characters?
Yup!

Where are they from?
Born in Canada, currently living abroad somewhere.

Their accents are about as real as their stage names - Minnie Mae (the female vocal on 'Strange Disease') is actually Jason's voice (or Simon's, if you prefer) punched through a DSP (digital signal processor) and cranked up in pitch. You can tell in the lower part that 'she' sings that the accent is identical (and fake). - The lush vocal harmonies on 'Omobolasire' are actually Simon's voice remixed OVER and OVER again. That, or they had a few studio singers back up the lead. The first one is cooler though, don't you think? - They're about as British as Chris Sheppard. "I'm from London, originally." (Yeah, Ontario. Sure pal.)

How old are they?
I don't know. My guestimate is twentysomething.
