This is one of our favourites. They are a horn-powered, percussion-fueled sonic and visual assault. Over 20 years of hard funking the band has burned up stages on four continents, released six studio albums and received two Juno Award nominations (Canadian Grammys). And this ride isn’t about to slow down. 

As one of our favourite Canadian bands, these guys have headlined our festivals and packed the Waverley for almost 2 decades.


Drama Queen
