Event Description

Toronto roots rock band The Warped 45s were the winners of last year's NXNE $10,000 fan choice award. Their debut full length CD "10 Day Poem for Saskatchewan " came out Sept, 2009 to critical acclaim, charted on College radio, continues to be in rotation on CBC ONE, TWO and THREE as well as multiple commercial stations across the country. The record made Exclaim's top ten Wood, Wire and Whiskey list and was recently nominated for Polaris consideration by Brian Acker (Hero Hill) and Bruce Leperre (CKDM). The band spent this past year touring as much as possible, playing shows with favorite bands Elliott Brood, Drive By Truckers, Justin Rutledge, United Steal Workers of Montreal, The Beauties, Deer Tick, T. Nile and more. The summer festival list included The Hillside Music Festival and the band was just showcase winners at the OCFF conference in Ottawa. The Warped 45s are hitting the road for one last tour before settling into the studio with producer John Critchley (Dan Mangan/Elliott Brood) to record their next album, January, 2011.
