THE BROKES: THE STROKES EXPERIENCE
The Brokes are a note-for-note tribute to the Strokes formed in 2022 by five mainstays of the Toronto music world. After what was to be a one-off Halloween show, demand for more was made clear and has only grown with a perfect track record of sell-out Toronto performances. With a deep repertoire of songs off of every major release, The Brokes weave through the timeless classics and fan favourite deep cuts of The Strokes catalogue with precision, poise, and unbridled energy. Every Brokes show is a party and celebration of not just the most iconic rock ‘n’ roll band of the 21st century, but of an era. The Brokes are the next best thing to the real thing; with every crack of the voice, wardrobe choice and signature guitar tone, this Toronto-based fivesome brings you the subtleties and essence of NYC’s finest. The Brokes carry the title of Canada’s Premier Tribute to The Strokes with the awareness of responsibility that comes with a moniker of such heft; attention to detail and a relentless drive to attain perfection is their biggest asset. Too broke to Stroke? Try the next best thing to the real thing. Try… The Brokes.

An Evening with GEORDIE GREEP
Geordie Greep Geordie Wade Greep (born 20 August 1999) is an English musician. From 2017 to 2024, he was the frontman and lead guitarist of the rock band black midi. He met bandmates Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin, Cameron Picton, and Morgan Simpson at the BRIT School – from where they would then go on to form Black Midi. The group got their start performing gigs at Brixton pub The Windmill, which had been the only one to accept Greep’s emails sent to various music venues. After being signed to Rough Trade Records in 2019, the band has since enjoyed critical acclaim with their three studio albums, Schlagenheim, Cavalcade, and Hellfire. After the dissolution of Black Midi, Greep began a solo career and released his debut studio album, The New Sound on the 4th October 2024. Greep has been characterized by his unique singing voice, considered a result of his accent, which has been described as “geographically unclassifiable”. He often writes dramatic narratives in his songs, with many centered around a specific character seen in Black Midi songs, such as “John L”.

MOTIF’S BATTLE OF THE BANDS FINALE
Coastal Cultivators Classic: ANDY FRASCO & THE U.N.
FANTASTIC CAT
They said it couldn’t be done. Four different songwriters joining forces to form a single band? There was simply no precedent (outside of CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, etc). And yet Fantastic Cat did it anyway, defying the odds and teaming up to record their highly unanticipated 2022 debut, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a wildly satisfying collection of folk-rock, country, Americana, and good old rock & roll” that offers “equal doses of Dylan and Springsteen,” the album earned the vocal-trading, instrument-swapping collective their national TV debut, sold-out headline dates around the US and Europe, festival performances everywhere from Sundance to Take Root, and a song in the Showtime series Tulsa King. In 2023, the unlikely four-piece teamed up with all-star producer Butch Walker for a 50th anniversary take on Wings’ “Band On The Run,” which prompted even more love from Rolling Stone, who dubbed them “the Harlem Globetrotters of Americana.” Individually, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume along with a litany of critical acclaim. Paste declared Don DiLego’s latest album a “stunner.” NPR said Anthony D’Amato “sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter.” Rolling Stone called Brian Dunne’s new record “the sleeper album of the year” and praised Mike Montali’s band, Hollis Brown, as “the soundtrack for a late-night drive through the American heartland.” Collectively, though, the four transcend their respective roots, emerging as velvet-clad rock and roll cooperative far greater than the sum of its parts. They say some cats are born fantastic; others have fantasy thrust upon them. These guys are somewhere in the middle.
