Call it what you want, we call it an SKA PARTY! Straight from Montreal, K-Man & the 45s has been an important member of the ska scene for several years. In 2011, they released their debut album entitled Got Me Movin’ as well as their first music video for the song The Red Guy Always Win. They then hit the road and played all over Canada. Word spread quickly that as soon as these guys get on stage, the audience goes crazy! Is it due to the rock sound they inject into their ska? Is it the volume and intensity of the band that takes hold of the crowd? Is it the sense of urgency that emanates from the group? Anyway, the band gives so much on stage that even the uninitiated ska will be hooked! Often heard on K-Man & the 45s shows: “Wow I didn’t think I’d ever like ska!”
MESSE is a hard-hitting, groovy and stoner sound. They combine their visceral riffs and rhythms with the French language and have a particular attraction to the color purple. They put on an energetic show where you can jump, scream, sweat and feel young and alive. Wanting to put a firm foot in the industry from the start, they launched their debut EP “Connemara PL” in May 2021, a self-produced project in a home studio. Since then, they have performed on New Brunswick’s underground stages, played in a few festivals and were also winners of the Gala de la Chanson de Caraquet. In 2024, MESSE unveils “J’mettrai le feu” an EP of 5 songs, a more ambitious project with very “in your face” sounds. It’s a big collage of influences where we find ourselves as much in the era of fringes and bell bottoms as that of flannels and capped boots.
Red Cardinal is an Alternative Rock Band from Saint John, New Brunswick. Their sweet sounds will leave you nostalgic for the early 2000’s Indie Rock Scene!
