🖤 BAD WAITRESS:
Bad Waitress’ antsy art punk revels in fits of fury and ego. It spits in your face and winks, ferocious and playful. The Toronto-based four-piece play like they’re conspiring or casting a spell, each member wielding a different power, howls and erratic drum fills and fiery riffs fueling one another.
That improvisation spirit doesn’t stop at their music. Katelyn Molgard, Nicole Cain, Kali- Ann Butala, and Moon finish each other’s sentences. Their conversations flow like free jazz. When asked to describe Bad Waitress’ sound, they agree on one word: conviction. “We play with conviction. There's nothing apologetic about it,” Kateyln says. “Even with our bizarre song structures, we don't hide anything in our music. It's just very...I don't like the word raw, it’s overused, but...raw.”
Traces of Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Stooges can be heard throughout No Taste. The band also cite jazz as an inspiration. Moon’s background playing improv jazz, blues and swing makes it an essential force, at the core of Bad Waitress’ music and collaborative process. “Moon usually has a weird drumbeat that they’ll play spontaneously, then Nicole will jump in with her wack ass music sensibility on bass, and then Kali will play something that’s super wrong in a good way,” Katelyn says. “And then I’ll make sense of it and find where the chords are. It’s bizarre.”
🐀 ROOF RATS:
ROOF RATS don't care what you think because they know you're listening. The trio's explosive energy will ensnare you in a nest of rowdy bass lines, gnawing guitar licks and rowdy drums. Formed in 2021, Roof Rats are what happens when 90s kids heat up the leftovers for a 3AM snack. It's a garbage plate of garage punk, grunge and shed-rock--and it's definitely too hot to touch.
📞 DEAD AIR AND THE DIAL TONES:
Dead Air and the Dial Tones is an art punk/blues rock jam band featuring Kyle Stewardson on drums and singer/songwriter Katie Horvath on guitar, keys, and vocals. The live shows are structured based on original music with the occasional take on covers, bass players, and mixed with a bit of freestyle bringing you Sarnia's blues rock punk duo, the artists formally known as Dead Air.
