The band, who describe their music as "a fusion of unlikely influences ranging from XTC and The Clash to Georges Brassens and James Blood Ulmer ", released four albums between 1995 and 1999 . In 1999 , the Wooden Stars collaborated with Singer-songwriter Julie Doiron on the album ''Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars'', which won a Juno Award for Best Alternative Album. Following that album, the band members concentrated on other projects, although the group never formally disbanded. In 2004 , they reunited to perform at the 40th birthday party of their longtime producer Dave Draves. In early 2005 , the band played several reunion shows in Ottawa, Toronto and Hamilton , and rereleased their old material on Zunior Records . They are currently at work on a new album in Toronto.
