An April March is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in Kitchener, Ontario in 1989. The band's last incarnation consisted of singer/guitarist Danella Hocevar, guitarist Chris Perry and drummer Michael Klüg. The band "An April March" is not to be confused with April March, an unrelated artist, as well as Russian and French bands called by similar names.〔(An April March interview from QRD No. 13 ).

Retrieved on 22 October 2011.〕 ==History== The band members met in 1989 in Kitchener, Ontario when they were in their late teens/early twenties, originally calling themselves The Whittingtons. That band put out a demo cassette. After Hocevar and Perry moved to Toronto, Ontario to work, the band changed its name to An April March and began recording and performing in Toronto at local venues such as the Horseshoe Tavern. Their stylistic influences include dream pop, shoegazing, ethereal and ambient. The earliest lineup under the name "An April March" was Hocevar and Perry, with Bob "the duck" Lembke on bass, Joel Walsh on drums. Some early recordings and performances also included Ian Ring (later of The Dervishes) on saxophone, who played regularly with the band for about a year. The group broke up in 1999, playing their last show on 29 April of that year.〔(An April March – Discover music, videos, concerts, stats, & pictures at ). Last.fm (11 February 2009).
