Laforge

Laforge is a 4-piece punk rock band from Timmins that has been making music for over a decade.  Our lineup includes Corey McGee on Vocals/Guitar, Mitch Bergeron on Guitar/Vocals, Kevin Watson on Bass and Pat Lauzier on Drums.  We’ve written/recorded/put out 5 independent releases since 2008 and have remained active in the Timmins scene, helping build a community of which we are proud to be a part.  We played our last CD release show to a packed house at The Working Class on Boxing Day 2017, to mark the release of our new 6-song EP “High Hopes and Anecdotes”.
Our music is very much for fans of 90s/early 2000’s punk rock in the vein of Lagwagon, NOFX, Millencolin and Pulley, but we remain influenced by more contemporary bands like The Flatliners, The Menzingers and The Penske File.  Basically, we like to play loud/fast music and it sounds like loud/fast music is what you are looking for!
All of our music is available to stream at laforgerock.bandcamp.com or on Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play, and all other streaming platforms.

Fortunate Losers

Hello everybody ! We are Sudbury Ontario’s 4 piece grunge rock band Fortunate Losers. We are submitting to Gimme The Gig in hopes to perform in this summers greatest upcoming festival and festival line up. We’re a hard working group of men that want nothing more than to tour anywhere in the world to have their music heard and wanted. This band will stop at nothing to have their voices heard and remembered.

We believe that the addition of Fortunate Losers will benefit every party involved. Our hard work and dedication to this band will always be a constant. Never will we not perform any task asked of us in order to attain something. We would love nothing more than to have the opportunity to perform the main stage and contribute to the greatest concert the north will see this year.
