What an incredible night! This past Saturday, we had the absolute privilege of being part of the Parkhill Sandbagger's Bash. This wasn't just any regular show—it was a fantastic fundraiser for the upcoming fall fair demolition derby, and the energy in the building was great.

 

 

First off, a huge shoutout and thank you to the event organizers for putting together such a well-run event. It was a really cool experience to be part of a community fundraiser like this, and the crowd came out ready to support a…

Gig Report - Port Burwell Legion - June 12, 2026 

What a killer Friday night down on the coast! We rolled into Port Burwell this past weekend and were treated to some absolutely awesome June weather. You couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening to gear up for a night of loud, nostalgic 90s alt-rock and grunge.

First off, a massive thank you to the Port Burwell Legion and to Ken for inviting us out to play. We had a blast! The stage setup wasn't quite what we were expecting when we first walked in, but we rolled with the punches, moved some air…

Gig Report: Pierside Pub North – London – May 30, 2026 

What a weekend! This past Saturday night, we officially crossed our debut gig off the list.

First and foremost, a massive thank you goes out to Pierside Pub North, their incredible staff, and Brent for having us out and taking such great care of us all night. You made our first outing a blast.

If you haven't been down there yet, this venue is awesome. The stage setup is great, and they are fully locked and loaded for what should be an incredible summer of live music out on the patio. Do yourself a favor and…

Gig Report: Richmond Tavern, London – May 2, 2026 

Always fun to play the Richmond. It’s such a historic venue in London, and the energy in that room is always awesome. What a great time playing back-to-back weekends at two great London venues. We're keeping the momentum going and we'll be back at the end of the month on the 30th at the new Pierside Pub in Hyde Park.

It was great to see a bunch of new faces in the crowd feeding off the vibe. A little roughhousing doesn't throw us off our game, but take it easy London—we want you all in one piece for the next…

Gig Report - Eastside Bar & Grill - April 25, 2026 

London, it’s about damn time. Last night at Eastside Bar & Grill marked our first show in the city this year, and you all absolutely delivered the vibe.

There’s nothing quite like that raw energy of a packed room, and seeing the dance floor tearing it up was awesome. Massive shoutout to the Eastside staff for keeping the chaos organized and the taps flowing, as always. And a huge thanks to Mike behind the board—he is a wizard.

We threw a couple of curveballs into the mix last night, debuting two new ones for…

Gig Report - Fortress Tavern X - March 28, 2026 

What an awesome debut. Last night we hit the stage at Fortress Tavern X in Chatham for the first time, and it’s officially a killer venue for live music.

We got to the venue early enough to catch the hot dog eating contest before our set. Massive congrats to the champion who managed to take down 10 of those things. Honestly, after watching that go down, we’re not sure any of us in the band are ever eating a hot dog again. Brutal.

Huge shoutout to Conner for dialing in some awesome sound and lighting, and…

Gig Report - Back Alley Bar & Grill - Feb 28, 2026 

The weather turned pretty nasty on us last night, but that didn't stop you from packing the place. A massive thanks to everyone who braved the elements and showed up to make it a great night—the energy in the room was exactly what we needed.

A huge shoutout goes to Tracy and the staff at the Back Alley. Thank you for keeping the drinks flowing, the crowd happy, and the night running smoothly. We also have to give credit to the sound man. He dialed in the mix perfectly and kept things sounding tight all night…

Gig Report - Fundraiser for Kael - St Thomas Legion - Dec 5, 2025 

 

What a killer night.

We headed down to the St. Thomas Legion last night, and it was incredible to see so many of you out there, filling the room and tearing up the dance floor. The vibe was exactly what we needed—loud, energetic, and full of heart.

Massive respect to everyone who came through the doors to support Kael. It means the world to see the community show up for such an important cause.

We shared the stage with some serious talent last night. A huge shoutout to The Four Horsemen and Griffin James Band

Gig Report: MS Music 2025 - Eastside Bar & Grill, London ON – Sept 14, 2025 

This past Sunday we had the honour of taking part in the very first annual MS Music fundraiser at Eastside Bar & Grill. What an incredible day — the event raised an amazing $6000 for MS, and it was inspiring to see so many people come together for such a worthy cause.

A big thank you to all the volunteers who made the day run so smoothly, and to the staff at Eastside for keeping everyone looked after. Also huge thanks to all the other bands who shared the stage, and especially to The Do-Overs for inviting us…

Gig Report: Pierside Pub, Port Stanley – Sept 6, 2025 

Last night Grunge Cantina brought the noise back to Pierside Pub in Port Stanley. The weather was cool but nice and clear – a perfect late-summer night by the lake.

The crowd was absolutely awesome and engaged from the first song to the last. We even had a first-ever occurrence of someone breaking out “the worm” at a Grunge Cantina show – a true highlight that we won’t forget anytime soon.

We love the passion and the energy you bring, and we appreciate the love when you want to come up and join us on stage…

Gig Report: Eastside Bar & Grill – London, ON (Aug 2 2025) 

Eastside was buzzing last night. From the opening crash of “Anthem for the Year 2000” to the final notes of “Killing in the Name Of,” the tight-knit crowd up front was engaged all night long and turned a modest head-count into major energy.

Highlights

GC debut: “Ahead by a Century” (The Tragically Hip) landed like it had always been in the setlist—goose-bumps moment.

Massive shout-out to Mike on the desk for a dialled-in mix and to the entire Eastside staff for keeping the night running smooth.

Next Saturday we…

Gig Report: Pierside Pub - July 5, 2025 

Port Stanley cranked the oven up to broil on Saturday, but you legends at the Pierside Pub still packed the patio from first chord to final cymbal crash. The heat couldn't slow you down—you kept singing, dancing, and shouting for more—exactly the kind of chaos we live for.

We rolled out five fresh covers and you made every single one feel like an instant classic:

“December” – Collective Soul

“When I’m Gone” – 3 Doors Down

“Galaxie” – Blind Melon

“What's the Story Morning Glory” – Oasis

“Break Stuff” – Limp Bizkit

Gig Report: Back Alley - June 28, 2025 

Last night we shook the rafters at Back Alley Bar & Grill in St. Thomas, firing up a tight set that slipped in fresh covers from Live and Alice in Chains. The new tunes landed just right, and the whole night felt like turning the dial back to prime-time alt-rock.

 

Huge thanks to:

  • Darren for sculpting a crystal-clear mix,
  • the whole Back Alley crew for a top-notch stage and warm welcome, and
  • everyone who showed up and threw their energy our way.

Next stop: Port Stanley next weekend. Bring your friends…

Gig Report: Linsmore Tavern – April 12, 2025 

We made our Toronto debut last night at the Linsmore Tavern — a cozy, character-filled pub with serious old-school vibes. It was a cool spot to play, and even though the room wasn’t packed, the crowd that was there brought the energy and made it feel big.

Chris just barely made it in time (thanks to some truly awful traffic), and we hit a few snags with our sound setup. The first set was a little rough as we found our footing, but once we got into our groove, everything clicked. The second half of the night…

Gig Report - Eastside with Tuned Out, Warden's Office and Rattlesnake Hotel 

Last night at Eastside in London, we kicked things off with a rare unplugged set. Stripped-down but still full of energy, it was a raw and intimate way to start the night.

The crowd was locked in from the first note, and the energy only built from there. Tuned Out kept things rolling with a high-energy set, followed by Warden’s Office, who delivered a tight and dynamic performance. Rattlesnake Hotel closed things out with a powerful finale that left the venue buzzing.

Big thanks to everyone who came out and…

Gig Report - Richmond Tavern 

Some gigs take unexpected turns before they even begin. Last night at the Richmond Tavern was one of those. Originally scheduled for a 3 PM matinee, we got word of a scheduling mix-up and were bumped to the 9 PM slot. No complaints here—what we got was a packed house, high energy, and a crowd that was ready to go hard.

The timing shift worked in our favor. A lot of folks came straight from seeing Collective Soul and Our Lady Peace earlier in the evening, still buzzing from a full dose of '90s alt-rock…

This past Friday night, we had the incredible privilege of performing at Caso Station in St. Thomas for a truly special occasion — a surprise 50th birthday party for one of our closest friends and biggest fans. It was an unforgettable night filled with great music, amazing vibes, and cherished moments that we’ll all remember for years to come.

The setting at Caso Station couldn’t have been more perfect. The historic venue, with its vintage charm and warm acoustics, provided an intimate yet energetic…

Gig Report - Meteor Windsor - Rose City Debut 

Last night, we hit the stage at The Meteor, a small but mighty live music venue in the heart of downtown Windsor. We arrived at 7pm, ready for load-in. With The Meteor perched just a couple blocks from the Detroit River, you get that perfect blend of city buzz and waterfront vibes. The venue itself sits directly above a sushi restaurant, giving it a unique and quirky charm that sets it apart from your average gig spot.

Just as we began lugging in our gear, the weather decided to throw a curveball, and rain…
