Grab your friends and join us for an action-packed Friday night at the Linsmore! 3 incredible bands, all for $10 at the door! What a night!
The Swinging Pussycats are a four-piece surf pop garage rock band from Toronto. They play original music that will make you want to dance. So don’t be shy – step up and shake your tail feather!
It took five years of hard times and psycho love, but the tribulations of life couldn’t keep Evil Elvis down. Storming back in fine form, singer/frontman KC Carlisle delivers a much anticipated fourth Evil Elvis album, Undead Or Alive. Recorded in January/February of this year and slated for official release in the coming weeks, this recording is destined to become a Canadian rock n’ roll classic. Although Evil Elvis is officially considered to be a psychobilly band, Carlisle has assembled a fine cast of players and contributors to create an album that transcends genre boundaries. From the true psychobilly attack of opening cuts The Dead Are Walking and My Evil; the driving, blues groove of Catwoman; the dirty swampy blues of Snake Eyes; the syrupy, surf-sounding backup vocals in Apocalypse; to the straight-up rockabilly romp of Back Seat Love; this record is filled with radio-friendly hooks and potential hits that leave the listener wanting more. Carlisle and company have been in the game for nearly fifteen years, and with Undead Or Alive, the maturity of the songwriting and production is clear. Evil Elvis has toured Australia five times, made appearances in L..A. and Las Vegas, and has received worldwide recognition as being one of the forerunners and top acts in Canadian psychobilly. KC currently spends time between managing the project from his homebase in Toronto, and writing new material at his songwriting and demo studio in Montreal.
Cardiac Deville is a 5 piece raw hillbilly mad cow punk band consisting of:
Reverend J – lead mandolin, vocals
Uncle Frank – upright slap bass, vocals
Cousin Mel – drums, vocals
Sister Morgan – tambourine, vocals
Doc Damon – acoustic guitar, vocals
Formed in Toronto 2023, Cardiac Deville has performed all over the city with venues such as The Old Sod, Penny’s Bar and Grill, The Parkdale Music Crawl, The Bovine Sex Club, Christie Pits Park, also a few birthday parties and a wedding. Cardiac Deville delivers a sold high octane hillbilly madness with a little Celtic infusion.
