THE PERPETRATORS

After quickly establishing themselves as hometown favorites, the Perps took their show on the road with the release of their debut CD in 2003. Since then, there's been no looking back. From Chicago to the Yukon... Montreal to Vancouver, they've been giving structural engineers plenty of work with their high-energy houserockin' brand of good-time music. No more afraid to pull out an achingly slow blues than a breakneck-speed punk song, they take every crowd on a musical rollercoaster ride. Whether you're there to dance, drink or just sit back and listen, the Perpetrators never disappoint. They've been described as "blues for people who hate blues" but on any given night they'll also take you from Motorhead to Johnny Cash at the drop of a hat. Of course, labels never tell the whole story but they call it all "rock 'n' roll."
