These guys are nuts. They’re all the rage among fans aged 13 to 33, and there’s a reason: I have never seen this much energy on stage, from the instant they set foot on stage to the moment they bid farewell. ”
— Christopher Kalanderopoulos, Eggplante!
Down With Webster, the 7-member, genre-bending, musical juggernaut draws on disparate influences to create a wholly original musical feast. Their chaotic live shows are the stuff of local legend, selling 1000+ tickets as headliners in their hometown of Toronto as an indie band before ever releasing a single or video. DWW have played with everyone from The Roots to a month-long run on Warped Tour.
ISIS. That says it all. This Nigerian native, who calls Toronto her home, is a natural born performer; a singer, songwriter, composer who shifted onto the radar, and into our hearts with Thunderheist, an “I’m the rapper, he’s the DJ” duo with Public Transit Recordings’ own GrahmZilla. Let’s just call it a coming of age story.
ISIS has now teamed up with Alixander III (of Azari & III) to produce a solo album of epic proportions. Leaving the bubblegum blog banger world behind, ISIS has set out to make timeless music.
Tickets available at the Orientation Box Office in Branion Plaza on Sunday Sept. 5, 9 am-2 pm and Monday Sept. 6, 9 am til they are gone.
