"Free entree with a non perishable food item or a $5 suggested donation."

Sorry - I just noticed this. We get food????

Seriously, did you mean "entry" or "entree"??? I need to know whether or not to come hungry (hint: try Pepper Jack's chicken tenders; the best I've ever had!)

Here's a little write up about King Sunshine

Acid jazz and funk is nothing new; however, “live electronica,” in the vein of The New Deal and Sound Tribe Sector 9, is a style of music that’s still fresh, and waiting to be explored in a larger, fuller arena-one by, say, a ten-piece band. Enter King Sunshine, the jazz/house collective that is considered Toronto’s premier live house music experience. Currently touring in support of their debut self-titled CD on Soul Motion Recordings, King Sunshine has been bringing underground dance culture to the live club stage. Since early 1998, the band's unique performances have been moving audiences with infectious grooves and seamless live sets throughout Ontario and Quebec.

Boasting a five-piece rhythm section (drums, bass, guitar, keys and percussion/ sequencers/samplers), three-man horn section and soulful vocals (courtesy of soul diva Christie Nelson), the group summons up sounds of 70’s rare groove and disco with a modern twist of electronica. Utilizing triggered electronic percussion and synths, the band's sound is a futuristic vision of electronic music with the intensity of a high energy funk/soul band.

Moving into the uncharted territory of live acoustic house, King Sunshine’s eclectic blend of deep Funk, Soul, Acid Jazz and Latin, driven by a constant four to the floor translates into a fresh new sound. And much like a DJ, there are no breaks between tracks, instead the music takes the listener on a musical journey, a soulful uplifting live dance experience that has helped the group develop a growing and dedicated fanbase across Canada.

Since they broke into T.O’s club scene in the late '90, King Sunshine’s deep style of house thye have opened for legendary house figures such as Dj Sneak, Mark Farina, Ron Trent, Theo Parrish, Frankie Feliciano and Alton Miller, as well as sharing the stage with Kenny Bobien last fall. They include in their performances live acoustic remixes, along with soulful original material. The result is a live journey that embraces all elements of groove music as King Sunshine gives music lovers a possible glimpse into the future of house music.

Who is King Sunshine?: Dave Austin (keyboards), Phil Cada (guitars), Lorne Lampert (percussion), Marc Shapiro (bass), Roger Berman (drums), Christie Nelson (vocals) , Charlie Finlay (sax), Steve Dyte (trumpet), Shiranta Beddage (baritone sax) and Joel Green (trombone)
