************************ the High Kicks ************************
Biography
“I’ve known Danny for like 5 years now. I serve him drinks at the Broken City a few times a week. He hates paying and he’s a bad tipper. I’ve always wanted to play music with him. He comes up to me after a This City Defects show and he’s all like, ‘Holy eff! you sweat a LOT when you play. We have GOT to play together.’ Something like that. I didn’t think he was serious, but he called the next day and we got crackin’ at writing ROCK songs like a week later. At our 2nd jam he told me he’d booked a show for us in 3 weeks so we had to get a set together like, now. And that’s what we did.”
-Matt Doherty
“Matt’s a rad drummer and oh man, he sweats a LOT. He plays like he thinks his body is gonna catch fire if he doesn’t drum wild enough. It’s really something to watch. He comes up to me after a Dudes show one night and asks if I wanted to start a band. Besides being my favourite drummer, he always gives me free drinks so I was like, ‘heck yes!’. I got to his place to jam like a week later and it was amazing. He leads me into his garage and I couldn’t believe it. There’s his bed and his dresser and his drums and a PA. No windows, just show posters and empties. I was thinking, ‘this guy literally lives rock and roll’. I knew we were starting something special.”
-Danny Vacon
Fuzzed out power rockers *HighKicks* are your new favourite band. Listen to their album and tell me I’m wrong. See their rock show and tell me I’m crazy. Featuring members of the Dudes, This City Defects, Dojo Workhorse and Axis of Conversation, HighKicks are old pros at keeping it RAD. They’re coming to your town soon, so keep an eye out if you like honest to goodness, sing along fuzz rock, or just stay home and watch reruns of Frasier if that’s not your thing.
“Having played more or less constantly since their debut a couple of months ago, the High Kicks have been steadily building a following around their lively, stripped down live set. Danny Vacon and Matt Doherty seem perfectly complemented for each other, channeling their chemistry so that the sum seems so much larger than the individual parts. Featuring Vacon on a scuzzy, saturated bass and Doherty behind a drum kit that stands as a testament to materials engineering after he’s done pummelling them… Vacon’s melodic vocals function as an effective counterpoint to the gutter howl they kick up, at once conjuring up rock and roll’s eternal romanticism. With plans to lay down some tracks to tape in the near future, expect good things from this duo.”
-Sebastian Buzzalino
Beatroute Magazine
“The biggest little two piece I’ve ever seen”
-Byron Slack
the Invasives
************************ The Electric Revival ************************
Formed in late 2009, The Electric Revival, consisting of three longtime friends, hit the ground running with the release of guitarist Ian Dillon’s independent E.P. With the inclusion of longtime friends Dallas Lobb on drums, and Dan Toews on bass, the group began playing local Calgary gigs until enough material had been created to release the full length album Presenting: The Electric Revival in 2012. Due to demand, the group kept fans entertained by releasing a new single every week for 13 weeks in the summer of 2012. Following this ambitious undertaking, The Electric Revival released its second full length album Pirate Radio in the summer of 2013 and then a follow up E.P. 5 Songs by the Electric Revival later that same year. As a result of these albums, The Electric Revival was picked up by Cruzer Media to aid in the distribution of the band’s current catalog.
With the bands ability to create and perform material that appeals to a wide audience, Ian Dillon’s ingenuity of his theremin guitar solos, and musical experience of the members, The Electric Revival has seen an increase in its fan base. The group’s first North American tour was well received in 2013, which only fueled the band’s desire to consistently provide listeners with quality material and an unforgettable performance.

“Local three-piece the Electric Revival has come up with its own take on the genre, evoking essences of Led Zeppelin and the Black Keys” VUE Weekly
“it’s really quite remarkable that the band’s performance and production manages to capture the retro vibe in a digital age where so many recordings sound sterile and flat.”
Ross – Indie 403
“It left me wondering just what can’t this band do, brilliantly?” Laurence Kellett – AMR
************************ The Rumble ************************
Ladies and gentlemen! Regular men! Children with fake IDs! Don’t miss out on the most potent dose of rock and roll you’ll find this side of hell. They’ve got songs to play all night longs: slow, fast, future and past, passionately frantic and cynically romantic. Tell your friends if they haven’t told you, if you don’t have any, they got songs for you too. People, these four poor freaks know one thing only. That’s making grade A rock and roll music for you to shake your hips to. So don’t miss out, come see the show before they implode
