Floating Widget

Floating Widget was formed in 1999. They released Praises to the Riff Monolith in 2004.  Now "Praises to the Riff Monolith" is available again via Stand Productions.

Floating Widget, a stoner outfit hailing from Montreal, have created a record that from start to finish is a tribute to the early days of riff heavy stoner rock. Even the title, Praises to the Riff Monolith, conjures up religious symbolism revolving around the beauty of the riff and the stoned euphoria that it can produce.  

Every city, state, region or province in the world should have it's very own 'King of stoner Bands'. From 1999 to 2006, Floating Widget had Québec pretty much covered. With it's down-tuned heavy sound and bong-filled neurotransmitter-altering tunes, the band spearheaded  a movement and had ears ringing all over la Belle Province. Behold the title of this recording, PRAISES TO THE RIFF MONOLITH- it's just that- tight, monumental, energetic licks like solar flares into the mind. And now, after an 8 year hiatus and a personnel change, they're back! Trimmed down to a 4 piece, the line-up sees Vincent Peake (Groovy Aardvark/GrimSkunk) trade in the drum kit for more familiar bass/vocal duties.  If rich, sticky power chords, catchy progressions and riff-fests appeal to you, then steer straight the f**k into it.

Los Kung Fu Monkeys

Los Kung Fu Monkeys are a ska punk band from Tijuana, Mexico. In 1997, they started operating when Bernie Leos and brothers Tarek and Hassan Limas joined their talents and forces to follow a dream called Los Kung Fu Monkeys. That same year the band recorded their first three-song demo which included songs like “Consecuencias” based on the excess of uncontrollable youth, costing them 10 dollars to record each song, and opening the doorway to being one of the top local and regional bands with such a loyal following that it caught the eye of Los Angeles-based now defunct label ONE SHOT RECORDS, who released their first album Rebuilding the World recorded in Love Juice labs in Riverside, California, U.S.A. in 2000. With the release of Rebuilding the World in 2001, they were brought to the attention of an international audience that it became the precursor and the beginning of what would be the path to endless touring throughout the world, starting their first with Union 13 (Epitaph Records) all over Mexico in 2001 with a sold out concert in Mexico City for more than 2000 people.

Mad Parish

A heavy metal behemoth on the scene since 2006, Mad Parish are known for their energetic live performances. They work hard at capturing the raw essence of big arena rock bands from the 70’s and early 80’s. Drawing inspiration from Prog Rock and the NWOBHM genre, Mad Parish are known for their triple guitar harmonies and thunderous galloping rhythms. The band prides itself on executing technically precise riffs while keeping the basic song structure simple and catchy. The many varied influences of the musicians in this band guarantee that it will never become repetitive or derivative, while firmly keeping all great rock traditions alive and well. Mad Parish have established a very solid theme in their music and lyrics incorporating elements of fantasy, science fiction as well as canadiana. With their synchronized signature stage moves you can be sure any hard rock or heavy metal fan will be jumping out of their seat to headbang the night away.
