HotKid at The Boat (Toronto) July 6th

HotKid’s Shiloh Harrison and Peter McIntosh have thrown themselves on the alter of Canadian indie rock, bridging the gap between traditional country twang and melodic noise. In the spirit of hardworking bands like Eric’s Trip and Change of Heart, Cambridge, Ontario’s rock’n roll life line are doing things the most honest and genuine way they can. Since the independent release of their debut full length Got It To Give in 2006, and its re-release with premiere Quebec label P572 and Local Distribution in 2007, this gutsy two-piece has been making their mark as a unique, gritty rock band on the Canadian scene. This spring 2008 HotKid has teamed up with Guelph, Ontario’s Out Of Sound Records and Zunior.com with the release of their brand new e.p., The Cost. The 3 song e.p. is a blistering shot of HotKid’s blurred mix of roots, distortion and infectious riffage. The Cost is available as a digital download, complete with illustration booklet, at Zunior. HotKid will be going into the studio with producer, and C’mon front man, Ian Blurton this spring/summer. Rick White (Eric’s Trip, Elevator, Rick White Album) is also on board having agreed to mix the duos up-coming project.

The Perpetrators: Blues for people who hate blues

Once a not-so-well-kept secret in their hometown of Winnipeg, MThe Perpsanitoba – where they acted as house band for visiting blues legends Hubert Sumlin, Louisiana Red, Paul “Wine” Jones and others – The Perpetrators kicked things up a notch in 2006. A European tour capped off a Juno nomination and a win at the Western Canadian Music Awards. 2007 saw the band continue to expand and grow with the release their third album, Tow Truck – an uncompromising expression of their varied musical influences that never loses sight of their blues roots – followed by the recording of a soon-to-be-released live album and a very successful second European tour which including the recording of live radio specials in Germany and Belgium.

“Blues for people who hate blues,” they distill rock ‘n’ roll, punk and country into their heady house-rockin’ punch. Give them a stage, any stage and they’ll put on the best show they can for whoever’s there. Each one is a seasoned pro on their instrument of choice but, never afraid to take chances, the boys are fond of switching it up in an on-stage game of musical chairs. To quote a much used and abused cliche, The Perpetrators have to be seen to be believed.
