What do you get when you put two of Canada’s favourite bands together and send them on a joint six-date tour across Canada? You get hundreds of fans lining up outside music venues for performances from Eleven Past One and Rebel Coast! Together, they co-headlined a special Canadian Music Week show this past weekend (May 3) at Revival in Toronto – the last show of the tour – and brought along friends Navigate the Sky and High 75 for a jam-packed party!

Newly-formed band Navigate the Sky opened the show with a vocally strong set, singing original songs like “By Your Side” as well as covers of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody” and Coldplay’s “Yellow”. Lead singer Brendan DiStefano took a moment to genuinely thank all of the fans in the crowd and was met with screams of support. Navigate the Sky ended their set with their debut single, “I Want You In The Dark”, which is slated for release this June!

Up next was High 75, an Ontario-based 4-piece pop band who previously supported Rebel Coast at their Toronto show in December. This time around, they entertained the energetic crowd with performances of songs off their album ‘All Night’, including single “One Time Girl”, as well as a cover of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop” which they craftily blended in with one of their own songs. The guys had plenty of love for their Toronto fans whom they rewarded with guitar picks.

Rebel Coast Sparked A Rebellion In Toronto

December 8, 2014 No Comments

On a chilly winter night in December, there was a hot buzz surrounding Toronto’s Mod Club Theatre. Hundreds of young fans and supporters, otherwise known as the Rebels, were gathered to see their favourite teen pop-rock band Rebel Coast and openers The Synthetic Army, High 75 and Jesse Gold.

Rebel Coast’s Angelo Moretti, Curtis Smith, Kyle McVea, Amer Dhaliwal and Ryan Hawken were grouped together on the debut season of YTV’s THE NEXT STAR: SUPERGROUP. This show on December 5 marked their second show at the Toronto venue since their win, and it was evident that they continue to be stepping up their game.

The night started off with a bang as alternative rock band The Synthetic Army entertained the crowd with a selection of original songs, like their debut single “Chicago”, and covers, which included Fall Out Boy’s “Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (Thanks For The Memories)”. Judging from the crowd’s early cheers, they were the perfect opener and, as an added bonus, they gave fans the chance to warm-up their vocals for a long night of screaming and singing along.
