Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

The Sleddogs are scheduled to play Steamers Pub in Victoria on February 1st, 2007 at 9:00PM. Cover charge is $5.00 at the door.

Together BC’s Sleddogs, consisting of Kenny Byrka, Michael Donley, and Eric Funk, have made a real mark on the Canadian rock landscape. Sleddogs vocally driven melodies are powerfully gritty yet sensual in their delivery; led by Byrka’s persuasively passionate lead vocals emphasizing the rich poetic and philosophical lyric content. The cosmic energy from the retro groove and slide of guitarist Donley further adds a unique potent punch along with his gut hitting vocal, all supported by the extremely solid chest pounding power of Funk on the drum kit.

Their stunningly accomplished debut album, Great Escape, has labelled them as serious contenders. Supporting the wide spread airplay, the Kelowna based trio raced across Canada in 2005-2006 playing a total of 280 shows in just 18 months adding many live radio appearances along the way.

The band is in the process of recording the highly anticipated second CD in Vancouver with Steven Drake targeted for a spring 2007 release date, followed by another cross Canada tour with USA dates pushing the dogs further into new territory as this band continues to make a serious impact in the music landscape.
