Honeymoon Suite, formed in 1982 by Johnnie Dee and Derry Grehan, quickly made waves with their hit “New Girl Now,” which won Toronto’s Q107 Homegrown Contest and led to a deal with WEA Canada. Their self-titled debut went platinum, followed by more success with The Big Prize (1986), which included tours with Journey, ZZ Top, and Heart, a Juno Award win for Group of the Year, and an international following. Their third album, Racing After Midnight, took them to L.A. with Van Halen producer Ted Templeman and featured Michael McDonald on backing vocals.
The band continued into the ’90s with Monsters Under the Bed, and their music appeared in shows like Miami Vice and films like Lethal Weapon II. Today, the original lineup is reunited and touring again, with a new “Best Of” album out, a DVD on the way, and a brand new studio album set for release through Frontiers Records.

Best known for their massive 1980 hit “This Beat Goes On/Switchin’ to Glide,” The Kings burst onto the North American rock scene with an unforgettable blend of power pop hooks and new wave energy. Originally from Oakville, Ontario, the band was discovered by legendary producer Bob Ezrin (Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd), who helped launch their debut album The Kings Are Here, which went gold in Canada and earned heavy rotation on both radio and MTV. Over the decades, The Kings have shared stages with artists like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Bob Seger.
