Hollerado is one of those bands that are guaranteed to have more people on the dancefloor than sitting in chairs; they once likened their shows to “elementary school recess with beer.” The band is currently touring Canada to promote their latest release, White Paint—an 11-track collection of tunes that are lyrically and musically interesting with driving beats, rhythmic swings, and guitar hooks.
Originally from Manotick, just outside Ottawa, Hollerado burst onto the world stage in 2010 with their debut Record In A Bag (released as a free digital download). The LP introduced music fans to Hollerado’s irresistible guitar-pop and earned them a 2011 Juno nomination for Best New Artist. The band has gained international attention in relatively short order thanks to their savvy DIY approach, talent, and tenacity. Hollerado’s penchant for making super creative and share-worthy music videos like “Americanarama,” which has over 1.2 million YouTube views, has helped solidify the band’s popularity.
You can catch Hollerado at Crocks on November 2.
![Why is @johnlaco smiling? He won our Best of Thunder Bay all-inclusive package for four, sponsored by @visitthunderbay and @porterairlines. Just for voting in our readers' survey, he's treating a local bestie and two out-of-town guests to TBay's best experiences, restaurants, and attractions.
And as for his favourite thing about Thunder Bay? “What's not to love? Our commitment to local products, restaurants, charities, and arts is nothing short of admirable,” he says. “There are a lot of great people doing great things here—something Mom [Lisa Laco] was always proud of. Also, the 10-minute drive across town is pretty sweet.”
Thank you to the City of Thunder Bay and Porter Airlines for the generous sponsorship and congratulations, John!
