This is the Haters Club and The Heavy Sixers double release show! Plus can't miss the action with those Whiskey Rock and Rollers opening!
Haters Club released their first single "Day After Halloween" in 2011, followed by The Golden Age of Haters Club EP in 2012. After playing a handful of shows, including opening for Caveman (NYC), and getting some local radio attention, they went on hiatus. After spending much of the last 10 years playing in different projects (Wizards Are Real, Bourbon County, Street Hassle), D.J. Kukielka and Ted Held bring the band back with new members, the same genre-defying songwriting, and songs from their new EP: RIYH. Don't let the name fool you, this band revels in sweet harmonies and clever guitar playing, and connects with audiences wherever they play.
Over the last few years, Steve Dupuis (guitar in The Rakes, The Blue Mollies, Trompe Le Monde, etc...) found himself writing a bunch of songs inspired in equal parts by the insane political environment, personal stories and just plain rock & roll, Steve approached Mark Devaraj (High On Stress, WRRC Mpls, etc...) to play drums, Emily Dupuis (The Blue Mollies, The Bottlehouse) to play keys and sing back up, Jon Sawyer (The Rakes, Rob Stealcheat, etc...) for bass and Grant Eull (Detroit, Manplanet, REVO, etc...) to round up the lineup on guitar. The Heavy Sixers' influences can be heard in varying degrees from some classic rock & roll sounds to the college rock of the 80s and 90s. Audiences love the varied mix of song styles in a live set and Steve's prolific ongoing exploration of new material.
