It’s Friday the 13th, the night before Valentines Day, and We Unite! Music is rockin’ The Upstairs once again with a crazy awesome lineup of the area’s best bands.
It would be easy for RICOCHET to rest on their laurels. Making consistently awesome records and playing consistently awesome shows for ten years might do that. Instead of slowing down, though, these party machines release another solid album in 2014’s ‘Cleanin’ House’ and pick up Static in Action’s Hector Smith as their new drummer. With perhaps the best lineup they’ve had, these punk rockers are ready to make 2015 their year!
STATIC IN ACTION might be the benchmark for catchy punk rock in Cape Breton. With sing alongs aplenty combined and one of the most epic lineups of veteran punk rockers we’ve ever witness, there’s no party without them!
Featuring core members of the Tom Fun Orchestra, HASH JESUS are perhaps not what you’d expect from this trio. Sludgy guitars and pounding rhythms push the songwriting to the brink of collapse, sometimes teetering close enough to the edge to make the chaos palpable.
THE FULL EFFECT owned the second half of 2015. With their solid debut EP ‘I’ and the follow up ‘II’, the band is hitting their stride with every set and showing Sydney that the heavy scene is still very much in style.
THE UPSTAIRS CLUB is located at 44 Ferry St, in the Upstairs of the French Club (Club Champlain). Show is 19+ and $10 admission. IDs will be checked at the door.
