Never a place to deny a deserving, excellent band a stage (regardless of whether or not the average Joe has heard of them), we are really pleased to welcome Kingston, Ontario rockers Kasador – along with able support from locals Sleepy Kicks and Rory Taillon – to town to make their Carleton début on Friday, August 30th. Show time is 8 PM and tickets are a measly $15 + HST.

Because this is a rock show, we’ll be allowing standing (and dancing) room. If you want to be guaranteed a seat please make a reservation by 6:30 PM by emailing reservations@thecarleton.ca.

Kingston, Ontario band Kasador have never been scared of change. And the three friends at Kasador’s core—Cameron Wyatt (vocals/guitar), Boris Baker (bass), and Stephen Adubofuor (drums)—have been through a lot of it.

They’ve woven years of tumult through their mid- and late- 20s into something powerful and real: a tight-knit, sincere, and caring rock and roll band hitting full sprint, with an upcoming full-length record about youth, memory, relationships, and how the relentless passage of time shapes and constantly reshapes all of those things. It’s a bright, punkish, emotional guitar-rock record that ultimately tracks the process of learning to be okay with not being okay.

After sharing stages with Arkells, July Talk, Sam Roberts Band, and The Glorious Sons, and racking up 350,000 spins of their 2019 debut full-length in six months, Kasador recorded their new LP Youth at Bathouse Studio with The Glorious Sons’ Brett Emmons producing and Nyles Spencer (Half Moon Run, July Talk) engineering. Vic Florencia (Olivia Rodrigo, Jason Mraz, Five For Fighting) mixed the record and Peter Letros (Beyonce, Duran Duran) mastered.

Sleepy Kicks is a band from Dartmouth. They play Indie Rock. Their live shows are a damned good time.

Alternative indie folk singer Rory Taillon (pronounced Tay-lawn) has a voice that needs to be heard. Since 2012, Rory has released three albums and two EPs with his fourth full-length album is Now It’s Quiet. Trained as a classical singer from a young age, his years of study are evident in the power and control that he has over his voice. He uses his warm guitar tone, haunting lyrics, dynamic voice, layers of looping and the thumping of his kick drum to take the audience on a journey through his set from exhilarating highs to emotional lows.
