There are trendsetters, trend followers, and those who plant their feet and shout at trends until they go away. Over the years, with their solid sound and party-till-you-puke attitude, Toronto band The Pariahs have survived countless club scenes by screaming louder and longer than the competition.
On October 18 and 19, the band will celebrate 20 years of ripping through the eardrums of clubgoers with two back-to-back shows at the Bovine Sex Club. Also on the bill are Troy Sinister, Romeo Liquor Store, Snowblower, and Days Left, with Tomb Dragomir DJing between sets. To get a taste of what you’re in for, check out the band’s site, or their MySpace page.
