Events Raygun Cowboys and The Anti-Queens
Saturday, June 08 @ The Waverly Hotel
Raygun Cowboys are a brass-heavy, punk rockabilly band hailing from the very best dive bars and back alleys of Edmonton, AB. This 50’s influenced 6-piece outfit plays insanely high-energy badass rockabilly with elements of punk and rock n roll that instantly gets people up on the dance floor from the first to the last song.
A staple of the Toronto scene for over a decade, The Anti-Queens are an ultra hard-working, punked up rock n’ roll quartet of super high-powered women who give the male-dominated music industry a run for their money. They’ve become infamous in their hometown of Toronto for their insanely high-energy, take-no-prisoner live performances.
From the press gallery:
“To say the Raygun Cowboys have had quite the career would be an understatement. After being on the scene for 15 years, putting out numerous records, losing and adding members, touring relentlessly, it seems things are only just beginning for the Edmonton rockabilly vets.” –Beatroute
“…a rollicking ass-kicker of an album, rocking confidently from roots-rockabilly to punk to blues then old-school country.” – Vue Mag
“One of Canada`s most iconic Rockabilly bands” – CHLY 101.7
“Surely there isn’t another band in Canada with a sound quite like the Raygun Cowboys. From one track to another, leisurely-paced rockabilly becomes lightning-speed psychobilly with a dash of brass thrown into the mix for good measure….this album proves without a doubt that the Raygun Cowboys are a force to be reckoned with” – Vue Weekly
The Anti-Queens are:
Emily Bones – Lead vocals / Guitar
Valerie Knox – Lead guitar / Vocals
Zoe McMillan – Drums
“the band brought the energy and rallied the assemblage with thirty minutes of blistering garage punk fit for any early ’90s college basement show.” – Razorcake
“Their high energy and fun performance is not to be missed” – Canadian Beats
“One of my favorite revelations was the Anti-Queens, a 4 piece all girl band from Toronto. They were a throwback to the golden days of pop punk, reminding me of fellow Canadians Liveonrelease. I always appreciate a band who you can tell is really having fun on stage.” – Montreal Rocks
