Eve Hell and The Razors
A Retro-rock 3 piece rooted in Rockabilly that branches out to other American roots genres, as well as punk, and bit of torch. Even though Mike (guitars) and Eve (bass) had been playing together in various projects since 1994, Eve Hell and the Razors officially started August 10th, 2007. Within 2 weeks they were playing festivals like The Calgary Tattoo Fest and shortly thereafter, they were on to JunoFest, Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender, The Calgary Folk Fest and more. Within months, they were working on their first CD "Fire It Up" which was released in December of 2008. The second CD "When The Lights Go Out" was released in January of 2010. Both received national and international airplay, "Fire It Up" got to #35 on the Canadian indie/college charts and "When The lights Go Out" got up to #21. Going by that track record, they're hoping the next one due late 2014 will break the top 10.

Punch Drunk Cabaret
Roots-rockers Punch Drunk Cabaret take the sound of rockabilly, outlaw country and steampunk swing and deliver it with all the energy of AC/DC. Sharply dressed like early century snake oil salesmen, complete with stovepipe pants and bowler hats, the trio is a living, breathing testament that every single show they play is an “event”. From punk rockin’ teens to their grandparents who witnessed the dawn of rock and roll first hand, Punch Drunk Cabaret has been packing dance floors with an incredibly diverse audience that very few bands can attract.

Despite their rockabilly/swing/country traditions, Punch Drunk Cabaret is far from being a quaint nostalgia act. Singer/guitarist Randy B fronts the trio like a home-brewed concoction of equal parts Brian Setzer and Tom Waits, while Terry Sawbones Grant is one of the few 12 string bassists on the planet (yes you read that right…twelve string bass!) The locomotive-like rhythm section is powered by drummer Reverend Robin Eklund with such propulsive energy that it’s impossible for any audience to sit still. From their turn-of-the-century look, to their rockabilly/swing/country sound, Punch Drunk Cabaret put on a signature show like no other.

Produced by award winning engineer Ross Nykiforuk (Sheepdogs/ Northern Pikes), the band released their self titled debut album in early 2012. To highlight the power of their live show they also released two music videos, proving they are a one-of-a-kind act on the rise.

The Hi-Strung Downers
The Hi Strung Downers are a rockabilly roots four piece band based out of Calgary Alberta Canada. Members include Earl Garnet, Joe Love, T-Bone and Buzz Elroy. HSD members have played in bands together since the 90's such as The Black Coffee Cowboys, The Surefires, The Southern Twisters and several others. When you see The Hi Strung Downers live you may hear lyrics inspired by truck stops, trains, women and jail houses.

Sugar Box Burlesque
Sugar Box Burlesque is the collective effort of nine fabulous women who feel the need to shake what their mama gave them. Every member brings a special little something to the troupe, each of them having unique characteristics and performance style. Variety is the spice of life after all!

Based out of Calgary, Alberta, Sugar Box Burlesque was formed in December of 2013. Starting with a core group and picking up members along the way, they are finally ready to thrill and fulfill you to all your hearts content.
