Not to be pigeon-holed by any particular style, The Fat Cats have made significant inroads within the “Jamband†genre, not only for themselves, but for a collection of other bands as well by creating an accessibility to the scene that reaches a larger group of music fans. Often being revered as the pioneers of the craft in Canada, the free flowing and uninhibited style of playing has been a specialty of the band since their inception over 20 years ago. The everlasting chemistry between the players has kept this ideal blooming throughout their history, and forges the future of their unmistakable sound and groove.

Always maintaining an organic nature that pays homage to many great singers and songwriters, the sound takes on an electrifying groove that draws on all popular genres in the last 60 years. The song writing, while timely and lyrically relevant, possesses an ageless quality that speaks to all generations of listeners; basically, if you like music, you will like the Fat Cats. The band has shown their infectious groove makes them a sure bet to both draw a crowd, and entertain.

Fat Cats Line-up:

Adam Bernstein - Drums

Chris Gatchene - Guitar and Vocals

Todd Gillies - Guitar and Vocals

Dave Hill - Bass

After Funk

Musical boundaries are something that After Funk is simply not afraid to break. Since its beginnings as a four piece funk experiment, After Funk has steadily grown into an eight member collective that is now known for bringing groovy dance music wherever it goes. Even with its constant evolution, the group has stayed true to its mission of bringing back the good vibes of yesteryear. With roots in London, Hamilton, and Toronto, the group is no stranger to travelling and can be found performing wherever people want to have a good time.

Entering its third year as a group, After Funk has played shows across Ontario and Quebec including opening spots for Walk off the Earth, Snarky Puppy, Dumpstaphunk, Five Alarm Funk, and Boogie Wonder Band. The group's first EP, "Soul'd," offers 5 tracks that range from the relaxing stylings of "Lay it Back" to the high energy funk of the group's self-titled track "After Funk." Looking forward, a second conceptual album is in the works for a 2013 release.

After Funk Line-up:

Yanick Allwood - Keys/vocals

Jaime Rosenberg - Drums

Bradley McBurney - Guitar

Justin Bontje - Bass

Phil Tessis - Guitar

Brian Walters - Trumpet

Julian Nalli - Saxophone

Jim MF Toner - Percussion

Sounds like there is a limo bus heading from Hamilton with some folks. If anyone is interested there is likely a couple spots open. PM me.

I'm hearing there's a special guest guitarist guy that used to play in some band, playing with the Fatties. Mike something from BNB or something like that

Nice to read that you crazy cats had a blast and made it to and from the show without incident. Ok, maybe there were some incidents but I'm glad none of them involved ending up in a ditch or multi-vehicle pile up.
