The Daddies brand of high-energy swing music has for years had the unique ability to bring generations together. It’s the only band around where high school aged Psychobilly scenesters and their grandparents can come together dancing in the same audience. As a result, the Daddies have an impressive range of popularity that makes them a hit with colleges, festivals, casinos and fairs. Onstage, the Daddies have enough of an edge to not come off as bland or plastic, and more than enough chops, class and style to satisfy any orthodox jazz fanatic.
Texas has been known to breed some of the loudest and hard rockin’ bands on the planet, and this new gang of five is definitely no exception. Straight out of the saloons and strip clubs comes Anchored, a hard-edged rock unit that packs as much pop as their punch with their infectious brand of “Dirty Southern Modern Rock”. Crossing the tainted lines between Shinedown, Nickelback and Stone Temple Pilots, these Dallas transplants will be bringing their Southern noise to the masses everybody is invited!
Ordain began in 2001 as the brainchild of front man Scott Lathwood. Scott, accompanied by guitarist Trent Pipson, moved to Melbourne, Australia, where Aussie Matt Olthof joined up. Since that time, rock band Ordain has been feeding ideas and emotions into quality songs designed to excite, sadden and give hope to a broad listening audience, saluting the musical legends that once traveled a similar journey. With a unique brand of progressive rock, Ordain's music displays the band’s passion for creativity and high standard of musicianship. The band strives for optimal musical originality while injecting a raw passion and powerful dynamic range into their songs. Ordain enjoyed success in their home base of Australia, where they placed three top-five songs on Australian Broadcast Company station JJJ. During this time Ordain played in front of crowds in excess of 25,000 at the New Zealand Parachute Rock Festival. Now based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Ordain has begun to make their mark on North America. They are now joined on drums by Canadian Jeremy Burton.
